Why take time to insult what you don't like?

I think there's a lot of great music that comes out of the UK, it's just that the ones that make it are always rubbish. I think the US gives genuinely good contemporary bands a better chance than the Uk music scene does

Average??? Their more post-punk than indie..

Wow the music part is really bassy haha.

...that a lot of bands seem to be deliberately taking, hence their hatred of The Kooks et al. The Cribs took the long way around to get where they are and it's a bit too common place that labels form bands and smokescreen it as coming from the same place...
I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I'm still waiting to be blown away or moved by British bands. The Enemy literally seem to be writing their own lyrics over songs, even Kasabian did it with Thick As Thieves (think Kinks)

kingBigL3 - I've gotta say that personally bands like Japandroids and Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Titus Andronicus; these are bands I'm into at the minute along with Grizzly Bear and some other 'blog bands' I heard about through friends.
I think music 'scenes' look better from the outside in though, which is why I think that nobody is really right or wrong here.
The whole tension thing isn't really that common, but bands with integrity like The Cribs just dislike the mainstream route...
