New Artist - British Sea Power



I realise that these guys have actually been around for a little while, but they've only recently popped up on my radar, with their latest album, called Do You Like Rock Music?. They've got a fantastic, high-energy sound, something along the lines of Joy Division or the Arctic Monkeys. Their guitar has that high, metallic sound and they've got a solid drum section to back it up.
Their latest album, Do You Like Rock Music, was released in the UK on January 14th, and has an expected release date in the US of February 12th. This is their third album, and was fronted by the Krankenhaus? EP, which had the song Atom on it.

They've also got quite a tour going:
