New band of the year

What good new bands are there?

Magic Numbers are a woman's band. Perfect present for any female friend this Christmas. Agree with the Arcade Fire. Excellent and also outstanding live.

There is a band playing in Templebar Music Centre next Friday called Architecture in Helsinki. They're Australian I think. Still waiting to receive their last album. Anyone know them and if the gig is worth catching.

Also what do the Artic Monkeys sound like.

[QUOTE=tiktok]But you'll run out of bad Magic Numbers Lyrics long before I even finish with 'I predict a Riot'!

e.g.

Sounds like the Kaiser Chiefs have invested in a rhyming dictionary

Magic Numbers for me...

I have to say the indie scene has been very bland of late with the best new bands being somewhat a cure for insomnia, so the Artic Monkeys have been a breath of fresh air. Seen a Gonzo session on mtv2, and I was very impressed with them and am really looking forward to the album. I think from what i've heard of them when you get a 19 year old writing songs like that then you are not going to be seeing a band that are going to be one hit wonders. As an old Wedding Present fan they remind me a bit of them and this is right up my street and i'm loving the amount of airplay they are getting.
