Something about the thick mist, haunting moors, and tortured
history makes for a national psyche ripe for creating some moving ballads.
Frightened Rabbit personifies these qualities. With a passion that
never seems forced they deliver thoughtful songs that also make you want to
dance. Case in point their hit the Twist: http://youtu.be/KOh6kKrQioE
They recently played two sold out shows in the same night at
the 9:30 Club and they did not disappoint!
If electronica is more your thing. Check out Chvrches.
Lauren Mayberry's pixie voice pairs perfectly with some excellent synth.
Here's their hit We Sink: http://youtu.be/sN0BnpI4mdQ
Lastly Biffy Clyro masters the art of the crescendo in Many
of Horror: http://youtu.be/mAh--lH0H3U
