The Maccabees by Han Quintrell - see more here.
The Maccabees are 'that band who wrote a song about their local swimming pool' which makes them cool without needing to hear what the actually sound like. But you should; as they're very very good. I saw them live a couple weeks ago, doing their first instore in the humble arena of London's Sister Ray Records, and while they're not the best band you'll ever see, they don't disappoint.
If you haven't heard them yet, think Futureheads with less vocal-sharing and a tad more punk - not a bad example as they're supporting the Sunderland lads on their current tour.
