Tiny Pop band from London, demonstrating some outstanding songwriting on
this e.p - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeOMpytdcUQ | | 9 |  | Lower Than Atlantis
World Record
This band has gone from strength to strength, on this album they embrace
their alt.rock influence's and lose a bit of the hardcore edge. -

Great changes of pace, some absolute classics amongst a small amount of filler. | | 11 |  | Everything Everything

12.30.11 | I thought it was, but its in the mercury 2011 shortlist, so i put it in.
Youtube links are for lesser known bands. | AliW1993
12.30.11 | Yeah the Mercury nominations are for albums that have been released within a year of when the shortlist is announced. That's why The XX won last year despite the fact that their record was released in late 2009. | vanderlyle
