Thats not really saying much to be honest

They`re the best of a pretty sorry bunch it has to be said.Out of all the new bands that have had mainstream attention from the UK in the past 5 years they probably are the best.But there`s not really that much to choose from.
I still think The Go Team are the best British band of the last 5 years.

There was that whole 'love Arctic Monkeys' phase, then the inevitable 'hate Arctic Monkeys' phase, and now that all the dust has settled down people are starting to say what they really believe.

I hate it when people are put off a band by their popularity.
