The Futureheads - The Futurheads The Libertines - Up the Bracket the Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts

I would still recommend The Futureheads. My dad, who is a massive The Jam and Paul Weller fan likes The Futureheads and says they actually sound very similar. He says the lead vocalist of The Futureheads sounds like Weller. You can cleary tell The Jam were an influence.

The Decemberists - Castaways and Cutouts

I would pick Songs from the Wood.

Is anyone else a fan? I have had Castaways and Cutouts for a while and I think it is really good. Even came in the top 100 albums from 2000-2004 on pitchfork. Anyway I was just wondering if they have a new album coming out and also of it is worth me buying "The Tain"? Also I like this...
