I just picked up their latest CD (Sept 2005), 'Carnival' and I'm hooked, playing it on repeat. This is my 10th album of theirs (not all by a long shot). I've loved them since a friend introduced me to 'No Rest for the Wicked' many years ago.
Although they're popular in the UK, I feel like no one around here (Canada) has even heard of them! One is usually lucky to find one of their CDs at a big record store, and it is usually overly expensive as an import.
They have a pretty unique sound (I think); no other music makes me feel the same way. They also discuss interesting political and human issues in their lyrics, but not in the typical cheesy trite way.
Anyone else know what I'm saying?
Another great lesser known (around here) UK band is the Levellers.
