XTC, The Dukes Of Stratosphear

London Grime

140bpm, eight-bar wars, pirate radio static — East London teenagers building a genre on cracked software.

Canterbury Scene

English jazz-rock with fuzz organ, odd time signatures and deadpan humour — a family tree, not a sound.

Palm Desert Stoner Rock

Downtuned guitars through bass amps, generator power in the open desert, and every band sharing the same six players.
