Terminal? I thought everyone hated Terminal.
All I'd ever heard was that they were a whiny emo band.

I recommend Lvmen - Mondo...pretty much the most surprisingly-great thing I've heard all year

I'm waiting to buy it to listen to but I'm looking forward to it. 'Closer' is such an unbelievably great song. It's kinda been the catalyst that gotten me into them for the past couple of weeks. I wanna get The Invisible Band soon. I'm hoping as well they'll do a tour of the states soon as well.

Hard-Fi
Arctic Monkeys
All Time Low
The Audition


Hard-fi has one of the best sounds right now.....They are so good...If you have not heard them, you really should...Thjey sold out their headlining tour in The U.K. in just 15 minutes....1st Album "Stars of CCTV" is "the most important album of the last 5 years".....Don't know who said that but somebody did....

Look for their second album "Once Upon a Time in the West" out tenatively July 2....Title taken from a Sergio Leone Western which I consider to be the greatest movie ever made...The album should be another awesome output by the Staines band
