{Frightened Rabbit}
Scotland the new Sweden? Well, I don't know, but there are some (relatively new) great indie-rock bands coming out of Scotland...my favorite being Frightened Rabbit. I don't know why I didn't feel compelled to mention them earlier, seeing as this was probably the last album that I truly went nuts over!
What I love most about Frightened Rabbit is that they bring the most confrontational lyrics I've heard since The Mountain Goats. They've also gained comparisons (musically) to Idlewild, Counting Crows and Death Cab.
Frontman Scott Hutchison sings about how "You must be a masochist to love a modern leper on his last leg" on "Modern Leper" and how “You won't find love in a hole/ It takes more than fucking someone to keep yourself warm” on "Keep Yourself Warm". Both of these songs, as well as the two I'm posting below, are from their last album Midnight Organ Fight, do yourself a favor and pick it up.
Here's a couple of standouts...
"My Backwards Walk"
"Good Arms Vs Bad Arms"
Here's the video for "Heads Roll Off"...
