Hot Fuss [Re-issue]Hot Fuss [Re-issue] by The Killers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £3.00
The Killers - Some of the most enjoyable Rock of recent times. But does anybody listen to the second half of the album?
Sam's TownSam's Town by The Killers
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.94
The Killers - A touch too adventurous, and Brendon's voice can grate but still enjoyable
Eyes OpenEyes Open by Snow Patrol
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.70
Snow Patrol - A step up in class.
Final StrawFinal Straw by Snow Patrol
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £1.70
Snow Patrol - A real slow burner. The very best of alt indie rock. Kudos to everyone who was there before 'Run' broke them.
When It's All Over We Still Have to Clear UpWhen It's All Over We Still Have to Clear Up by Snow Patrol
Buy new: £4.01 / Used from: £2.45
Snow Patrol - Getting good, now. Sounding a bit like Lightbody's 'Reindeer Section'
Songs for PolarbearsSongs for Polarbears by Snow Patrol
Buy new: £7.98 / Used from: £2.89
Snow Patrol - The debut. Rough around the edges and 1 trillion miles from 'Run'
Starfighter PilotStarfighter Pilot by Polarbear
Buy used from: £2.95
Polar Bear - Where it all started for Snow Patrol. A moorish slice of noisy indie power pop that rivals vintage Ash.
Up All NightUp All Night by Razorlight
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £0.49
Razorlight - Buy it for 'Golden Touch' and 'Something Else'
RazorlightRazorlight by Razorlight
Buy new: £1.00 / Used from: £1.03
Razorlight - Dismal and unoriginal. If you've bought this go and buy KT Tunstall to complete your lobotomy.
We Are PilotsWe Are Pilots by Shiny Toy Guns
Buy used from: £4.77
Shiny Toy Guns - The Killers with bombastic overblown keyboards instead of bombastic overblown guitars. To be fair there's plenty of guitars in STG as well.
Until There's Nothing..Until There's Nothing..
Buy new: £7.13 / Used from: £6.96
Kill Hannah - More beats than The Killers but just as exciting.
Never Look Back Here AgainNever Look Back Here Again by Make Good Your Escape
Buy new: £6.89 / Used from: £4.25
Make Good Your Escape - Anthemic indie rock that ticks all the right emotive buttons. Should go stratospheric.
Tied & TangledTied & Tangled by Glitterbox
Buy used from: £0.50
Glitterbox - A brilliant album that just makes bands like Razorlight seem very, very pale by comparison.
PuressencePuressence by Puressence
Buy used from: £16.99
Puressence - Quite simply the best band you've never heard of.
Only ForeverOnly Forever by Puressence

Puressence - Emotional rock brilliance that soars through the despair to reach heights of umimagined brilliance.
Planet HelplessPlanet Helpless by Puressence

Puressence - Three albums, fifteen stars. What are you waiting for?? Album number 4 should be with us soon (Late 2007) Joy.
Don't Forget to RememberDon't Forget to Remember by Puressence
Buy new: £9.98 / Used from: £8.06
Puressence - Album four finally arrives and it's awesome. More 'Wall of sound' and in your face but with the same shimmering beauty. For God's sakes, buy them all!
Derdang DerdangDerdang Derdang by Archie Bronson Outfit
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £4.99
Archie Bronson Outfit - A bit of off-the-wall variety that still rocks up a storm.
Ganging Up on the SunGanging Up on the Sun by Guster
Buy new: £7.12 / Used from: £6.04
Guster - Multi instrumentalists create a strident and enjoyable piece of Americana. Nice. Been around for ages, too; deserve the breaks.
KickKick by White Rose Movement
Buy new: £9.20 / Used from: £7.95
White Rose Movement - 80's retro synths mixed with 21st century rock. Joy Division vs The Killers. It's good
Something Created Out of BeliefSomething Created Out of Belief by Out Of Sight
Buy new: £5.99 / Used from: £3.38
Out Of Sight - A nice piece of joyous straight ahead rock. Heavier than Razorlight and not as jangly as The Killers. Don't be fooled by the cover!
A Christmas Kind of TownA Christmas Kind of Town by Marah
Buy new: £10.88 / Used from: £5.23
Marah - An undiscovered slice of Americana, Marah are almost Rock n' Roll's best kept secret. This is just their funnest album and great for a party.
RubberneckingRubbernecking by Elcka
Buy new: £4.18 / Used from: £1.66
Elcka - Proof that Britpop's undiscovered gems were SO much better that it's chart mainstays. Just buy it!
Film SchoolFilm School by Film School
Buy new: £8.98 / Used from: £5.49
Film School - Snow Patrol's languid way with an epic combined with a touch of Killers epic strut and Editors indie sensibilities. It's a grower, for sure but brilliant none-the-less.
As Far as the Eye Can SeeAs Far as the Eye Can See by People in Planes
Buy new: £11.99 / Used from: £3.35
People In Planes - First track 'Barracuda' is pure Stoner Rock heaven but the rest is large scale epic (Nu) Rock that's expansive, intelligent & all round brilliant. The Killers don't even come close!
