See, I have practically no exposure to these bands being more acquainted with the Beatles/Stones/Yardbirds/Who(who might have even came a little later) bunch. I mean, Dave Clark 5 is the only I've really heard of. I know a little of the early movement in the sense that it started as sort of a youth trend in the late 50s with skiffle bands.
I also have been told the sort of catalyst for it was Cliff Richard, and the Shadows. Found this clip from 1958, and it still very much reminisces of early American rock(Elvis Hair, crooning, etc.) but I can see the traits.
