The most sampled guitar in history, from 'Good Times' to 'Get Lucky', a nonstop masterclass in why disco never died.
DiscoFunk
Stockport five-piece who turned synth-lined indie-pop into a run of UK number-one albums. Melodic, unhurried, and impossible to leave a field before.
Indie popIndie
Brighton indie built on hooks that outlived the 2006 landfill purge, still filling rooms on the strength of 'Naive'.
Indie rockBritpop
Dan Smith's band, whose chanted hook on 'Pompeii' set the template: brooding synth-pop with stadium-sized choruses and a habit of reworking other people's songs on mixtapes.
Alternative
Sydney trio writing big-chorus guitar anthems with their Britpop debt worn openly, from 'Delete' on the debut to the dance-floor turn of 'The Glow'.
Indie rockBritpop
'Dreams' and 'Rise' and a voice that has not thinned in thirty years of British soul pop.
SoulPop
Groove Armada DJ Set
Dublin four-piece trading in big-reverb guitar hooks and baritone vocals, closer to eighties post-punk radio than the Britpop revival they get filed with.
Alternative
Birmingham band whose album Moseley Shoals and 'The Day We Caught the Train' made them the mod-rock standard-bearers of the Britpop years.
Rock
Johnny Borrell's band behind 'Golden Touch', 'Somewhere Else' and the chart-topping 'America'. Mid-2000s indie swagger built for singalong choruses.
Rock
The original trio reunited, back with 'Overload', 'Freak like Me' and 'Push the Button' and the garage-tinged pop that made them a 2000s fixture.
Pop
Merseyside indie built for shouting back at: brisk, hook-forward guitar rock that turned a devoted local following into a national one.
Indie rock
West Yorkshire band led by brothers Danny and Richard McNamara, trading in huge, string-swept anthems from 'All You Good Good People' to 'Ashes'.
Rock
Welsh alt-rock lifers with an unreasonable number of songs you'd recognise from British radio in the early 2000s, and 'Buck Rogers' is just the start.
Alternative rockBritpop
Hannah Grae
Pop
Leeds lads making hardware-driven post-punk bangers about mundane dread, with deadpan vocals over squelching synths, pitched somewhere between a big night out and an existential crisis.
Alternative
Arkayla
Alternative
Basht.
Alternative
A man, an acoustic guitar, and a running commentary on the state of things, delivered pub-side, with a new album every December and a grin through all of it.
FolkAnti-folk
Cherryholt
Rock
Chloe Slater
Manchester singer-songwriter writing punchy, sardonic indie-pop about being young in modern Britain, with a sharp political edge to the hooks.
Alternative
Cowboy Hunters
Punk
Esmeralda Road
Alternative
Et Al
Alternative
Manchester art rock built on falsetto and dense, tumbling wordplay, cleverer than it has any need to be.
Art-rockIndie-rock
South London's unhinged rave-punk cult, with klezmer, techno, and total mayhem, a live show that feels like a cult initiation in the best way.
Rave-punk
Girl in the Year Above
Pop
The voice of M People, whose huge soul-house vocals carried 'Moving On Up' and later the solo anthem 'Proud'. Nineties dance-pop with gospel-sized lungs.
Pop
King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys
Long-running British jump-jive outfit reviving the honking saxes and swing rhythms of forties rhythm and blues, built for packed dancefloors.
Jazz
Elly Jackson's synth-pop project, which broke through with 'Bulletproof' and 'In for the Kill' and has since leaned toward warmer, funk-tinged eighties grooves.
Pop
Ian Broudie's sunny Liverpool pop vehicle, behind 'The Life of Riley', 'Pure' and the football singalong 'Three Lions'. Bright melodies with a wistful undertow.
BritpopIndie pop
Little Grandad
Alternative
M60
Alternative
Man/Woman/Chainsaw
London band formed in 2021, making jittery, theatrical indie rock that lurches between scratchy noise and sudden melody.
Breakfast-TV fitness instructor of the 1990s, still leading mass workouts in his trademark bright Lycra bodysuits.
Fitness & workout
Nieve Ella
Shrewsbury songwriter turning teenage nerve into widescreen indie-pop, with guitars up and feelings louder.
Indie popIndie rock
Birmingham lads making festival-ready indie rock singalongs, with lager-in-the-air choruses in the great British tradition, a rising band already at home on big stages.
Indie rock
Raised by Owls
Metal
Liverpool indie with a mariachi trumpet in the middle of it, which turns out to be the whole trick.
Indie-rockMariachi-rock
Saint Clair
Rock
Slates
Rock
Six-piece fronted by the restless Alex Rice, whose debut Deep Down Happy came within a whisker of the UK top spot. Wry suburban indie with chaotic live energy.
The Cheap Thrills
Indie rock
Wirral band whose jangling, sea-salted psychedelia runs from the breakout pop of 'Dreaming of You' to eerie, folk-tinged records steeped in faded seaside towns.
Northern comic folk songs about chip shops and shopping trolleys, delivered completely straight-faced.
ComedyFolk
Young sibling-led London band channelling The Jam and early Who into short, sharp mod-punk, played at full sprint with sharp suits to match.
The North
Indie
Four acoustic guitars played like a metal band: Dublin lads with thrash in their hands, trad in their bones and a filthy sense of humour.
Folk metalAcousticIrish
South London rapper who carried grime-rooted swagger into the charts with 'Pass Out' and 'Written in the Stars', fusing rap verses with electro and big pop hooks.
