what bands have you recently discovered that have been around for years ?

The National – My daughter, who has superlative tastes in music for a teenage girl, has got me into these guys. Six albums in over the last 13 years, and I’ve just got to know of them!

I don’t know who I’ve never heard of, because I’ve never heard of them.

Who posted that?

There are known unknowns…

Mogwai for me I think, I’ve been into them for a few years now but they never made the slightest impression til one day, bing! Realised they are incredible.

I wonder if One Direction are actually the best thing I’ve never heard…

Alot of bands really. I discovered Social D well over 10 years ago, yet they’d been around for long before then!

Mew. Bonkers and brilliant in equal measures

Metric is a recent find, actually prefer their older tunes.

Suns of Arqa.

I’ve just started to listen to a bit of Brian Jonestown Massacre. Not sure how I’ve missed them until now.

I’ll let you know when I hear them.

I quite like The Beatles.

Right Said Fred are still doing gigs.

The Tea Party. never really made it over here. Amazing Canadian band but now sadly defunct. Cross between Led Zep and the Doors.

Recently discovered Band of Skulls (supported QotSA the other week) who I’ve somehow managed to overlook for the last decade.
