Could anyone possibly recommend me some English bands that represent the same genre and sound just like Arctic Monkeys and The Kooks (whatever they're called)?

Please
 
Arctic Monkeys and the Kooks are fairly different, if you want Kooks then a fairly new band The Wombats are similar, if you want Arctic Monkeys try bands like Dirty Pretty Things, Fratellis, if your looking for indie at it's best then try Guillemots, and there's Maximo Park too, and not forgetting a nice Manc band by the name of I Am Kloot. There are tons.

The Frattellis are awesome. Try The Idlers as well.
 
Actually Naive is the only The Kooks' song I enjoy listening to that much, the rest is pretty fine but Naive is a different level.

The Wombats sound quite well, I shall check the rest through the night. Thanks.
 
The Fratellis are literally out of this world, great.
 
If you want an awesome Indie band, i highly reccommend The Rifles, honestly, they are a different class
 
I hate all those bands. I hate their haircuts and their whole cnutish attitude, everyone of them with their bullshit art philosophies, pissing me off.

Thank goodness for heavy metal!

Bullshit art philosophies? cnutish attitude? what are you on about!? if you don't like the music fair enough, but quit the crap already, i could say the exact same thing about heavy metal bands. Why not just ignore the thread?

Dude chill out I wasnt attacking your family ffs. You could say whatever you want about heavy metal and I wouldn`t be personally offended. :wenger:
 
if youre still taking heavy metal seriously after your 18th birthday theres something wrong with you.

Some the of the best albums ever written are Heavy Metal albums...do you understand the intricasey's that go into making a Dream Theater album...or maybe even classics like Master Of Puppets ??

No you don't.

This post makes you sound like an idiot.

You attack sammymc's right to think metal is gash and then have a go at his musical taste.

You can't have it both ways idiot.
 
No, its the way he attacks the mental state of anyone who listens to metal.

To say metal is gash is fine...i live with people who share that sentiment...but they would never claim there is "something wrong with me" cos im 20 and listen to The Black Dahlia Murder.

That is why i had a go.

Do keep up at the back.

But you still had a go at his listening taste implying there was something wrong with his mental state for listening to chamillionaire or rave.

i'm only at the back because i'm about to lap you :D

No i implied that people who like those sorts of music traditionally have a problem with metal music wihout understanding it.

And you couldn't even lap a dog turd.
 
If you want a band from the same mould as The Kooks then the closest thing you'll get is The Maccabees.

good pick, also the cribs are quite good too

That isn't how it sounded but never mind you're still an idiot.
