I have to agree that the British music scene is currently dire and there is a total lack of inspiration (with very few exceptions). All media outlets are being drowned out with terrible NME bands.

I agree with the person that said Lightspeed Champion was worth listening to, and I'll add a couple of his peers to the list: Emmy The Great and Eugene McGuinness.

I also think if we are going back to 2006 then The Fratellis can be used as a prime example of a great indie band. Another very good Scottish band at the moment is the Attic Lights who are being produced by the drummer from Teenage Fanclub (a fantastic indie band from Scotland from a wee while back).

My final suggestion is a band that I think are from London, called 'Alberta Cross'. They were likened to Kings Of Leon although I can't really see it myself other than the singers looks but a very promising band all the same.
