There's not a ton of polish to these Brits' angled post-punk, which may explain why some of their 2005 peers -- Bloc Party, Maxïmo Park -- won the ratings war. But the group's final album (they broke up in October) still punches like a champ, with sharp bursts of intelligent energy. At times, singer Alan Donohoe sounds on the verge of old-school punk panic ("1989"), then he broods man-fully on "The Loneliness of the Outdoor Smoker." Skinny-tie pogo fiends, you could find worse ways to spend 30

There's also a nostalgia circuit beginning to emerge, with the Prodigy proving as big a draw as the headline rock acts at Reading. For anyone in the festival's mid-teen to late-20s demographic, the 90s dance explosion provided the pop of their childhood, so perhaps that

Artist:Jack PeñateReview:Jack Peñate distinguishes himself from the current glutof British R&B revivalists with a shortcoming: He's a soulsinger who can't really sing.
