People overseas you're better off knowing about now rather than later

At this point it seems that Arctic Monkeys are bound to become the next incarnation of the Bloc Party/Franz Ferdinand UK flavor of the month, but who else should you be looking for on the horizon? Well...

Semi-Finalists (signed to V2)

Lethal B (hiphop)

Test Icicles (Domino Records, only 1/3 British, hybrid sound of most popular indie sounds currently at work, slowly breaking through in North America, opening for the Monkeys' currently)

Maccabees (Promise Records, though talk they've signed with a major label)

Seal Cub Clubbing Club (Heard one great song, will investigate further once the website is functional)

-----------------------------
On an unrelated note, the new Gnarls Barkley track is as every bit as good as Pitchfork makes it out to be. Can't wait til the full-length is released in 2006.
