I guess that's the type of stuff i'm looking for! There's a lot of good stuff in the thread so far. I'll post up what i liked / dislike when my shitty internet decides to stop cutting out.

Celebration Castle and Laced with Romance. They's fantabulous.

but still like the idea of a noisy distorted band
may i recommend
Coachwhips - Bangers Vs Fuckers

its a treat

showcasing the leading under the radar British exponents of American indie-rock on August 3rd at The Windmill in Brixton. Total self-promotion, but if ever there was a legitimate opportunity for a JAG then this is it. As far as American early 90's sounding indie rock, it doesn't get much better than this in Britain right now.

As an added twist, each band will be doing at least two covers by certain hereos of the era to go with their own songs.

Stuffy and The Fuses as Pixes - www.myspace.com/stuffythefuses

4 or 5 Magicians as Guided By Voices - www.myspace.com/4or5magicians

Giant Robot and The City of Tokyo as Archers of Loaf - www.myspace.com/giantrobotiii

Pale Man Made as Sonic Youth - www.myspace.com/palemanmade

Favours For Sailors as Weezer - www.myspace.com/favours4sailors

Dutch Husband as Sebadoh - www.myspace.com/dutchhusband1

Hour Hands as Built to Spill - www.myspace.com/hourhandsmusic

Plus a Special Guest headliner as The Modern Lovers.

I have used this as an opportunity to plug the gig, but all seven bands are awesome, and all pretty much exactly what you appear to be looking for, and you should check them all out.

Bet you don't.
