European bands you like

Any bands you know of that are big in Europe, but don't have much of a following in the US? I've recently heard "Wonderful" by Gary Go. Not sure if he's indie, but i think so...I think this guys one to watch for. He has music on his website: whoisgarygo
Am I wrong about him?

Not sure but there is a band named McFly, which in some ways are like the new Beatles of England. They came to USA once, and I drove across 3 states to see them. But they disappeared now. Is Sam Sparrow getting big here?

Not sure about Sam Sparrow. There was an indie "rapper" named MC Lars Horris that I've gotten into in the states and I guess he's got a pretty big following in England? Anyway...I'm obsessed with this track I'm hearing from Gary Go "Wonderful". I wonder how the album will do in the states.

Re: European bands you like

95% of what I listen to is European.
I'm suprised that bands like The Rakes, Art Brut and The Futureheads don't have much of a following over here. Aside from one of my co-workers I am the only person I know in Canada who knows and/or likes these bands!

Well I don't want to get off topic but I have to say that I love a lot of Canadian bands. They make good indie music.

Also the Futureheads are sick...

Yup! New bands coming for all corners of the country every year! If you haven't yet heard them I highly recommend the band Winter Gloves.

Re: European bands you like

Hello. I am european. I listen more european music but in the same time i listen american music. I like in particular indie rock and garage rock. I have to say that both continents are good, but europe have more indie bands with better music. I recommend in this moment Glasvegas, Friendly Fires, The Joy formidable, The Horrors, The Big pink, White Lies, Bombay bycicle club, The Rumble strips, Mystery jets and The Cribs. They are all British bands. Great music.
P.S. - I adore to american bands and musicians.

And just an update I think this gary go guy is actually big cause i found out he is touring with lady gaga. weird cause he sounds nothing like her but i think he did some booty kissing and got miss gaga on his good side cause he alway s praises her in the press. He did cover of Just Dance too which is tighttt..you all should check it out on youtube
