thank fuck, i thought i was alone in thinking this. and being in the UK i get subjected to it all the more often. u want the worst example of it? "22 grand job" by the rakes. just a tone-deaf piss-sponge of a singer going "22 grand job in the city, it's alright" in a mockney-bollocks voice for 3 minutes. complete sack of horsewank, that song.
Trashole:
Blacklisted,Ceremony,Let Down, Have Heart, Swamp Thing on the 22nd
Ruiner, Trash Talk, Brace War on the 30th
Just moved to Georgia from NJ, so I'm kinda anxious to see what the HC scene is down here.

Oh man please do not be implying that The Rakes were ever as bad as the recent rash of crappy "indie rock" bands that have followed the Kooks (the Wombats, Scouting For Girls, Fratellis). They were never great, but they weren't as bad as a lot of what we get now. Plus, they're actually from London, so I think we can cut them a bit of slack for sounding like it.
Also, to keep this on topic:
This week I am going to see of Montreal and, on Saturday, Holy Fuck, both of which should be great. Although apparently The Bug is playing in my area on Saturday, which I am disappointed to be missing - hopefully it will still be going by the time I get back from Holy Fuck. It's dubstep, so I don't imagine it'll end early. Apparently El Guincho is playing at my uni on Halloween, too, which should be pretty much good times! Last time I saw him, people got angry with us for dancing. Hopefully this will not happen again.

i was just using them as an example. although i can cut the kooks and the fratellis some slack as they've written a handful of catchy tunes between them. admittedly the catchiness is all they've got going for them, but the rakes can't even boast that. tbh, i tend to disregard any band that gets hugely hyped by NME magazine. in 3 years or so of taking that approach, i've gone on to eventually hear most of those bands and found that i was pretty much right to have ignored them.
