Mr Hudson and the Library
 

I guess they're relatively new, a London band.
Describe themselves as Alternative, Acoustic and R'nB, but there
are definite Ska/Reggae influences that I enjoy.
Their new album is called A Tale Of Two Cities.
My personal fav songs so far are: 'ask the dj' 'on the streets where you live'
check em out...they have a myspace, but here's a link to download their album:

peanuts!
Edit: I also think that some of their songs sound like they belong in a musical....
don't know if it's the lyrics, something very narrative that is very 'musical-esque'

Love these guys, i remember seeing them on Jooles Holland late last year i think. Too Late Too Late is my favourite song

yep saw them a bestival and they are pretty good - a bit boring I think but solid
