Happy Days Music: 50 Reasons to be UK proud

Because i'm itching to do my top 50 of the year, and yes i know there's still tons of class albums still to come before then, i've done a 50 UK records to make you proud for the last 5 years, why 50 why 5, why not!!

Fuck Me USA - Fuck Me USA

Like some bastard offspring of XTRMNTR era Primal Scream and The Jesus & Mary Chain but with more attitude and swagger, this is Six By Seven's Chris Olley's side project, fucked up fuzzy rock with electrobeats.

The Bishops - The Bishops

Was this album released in 2007 or 1967, you'd be hard guessed to tell at times, there's plenty of bands who take heed from the past but The Bishops actually do sound like they're from then. Add on to this the fact that they sound like one of the best bands from the 60's and put on one hell of an electrifying live show, this is an album not to be missed

Switches - Heart Tuned To D.E.A.D.

Unashamedly pop-rock, Switches have some of the hugest choruses you will ever hear, they bring to mind bands like Spacehog, unfortunately they only released this one album so get hunting it down.

The Wildhearts - The Wildhearts

No list i ever make is complete without featuring something to do with this band, i've been a fan for around 18 years and 13 years down the line they still throw out masterpieces like this jammed full of riffs and harmonies. TOP ALBUM!!!

Humanfly - II

Old friends of mine who i put out their first release which is a far cry from this beast, epic does not come close and the flyboys do tend to switch styles for each new release but this is easily my favourite, scarily heavy.

Charger - Spill Your Guts

For a band who's motto has always been Volume Over Talent, their 3rd album takes it a different level, Volume so deep it's likely to make you shit yourself. Veering from slow pounding epic slabs to short nasty hate filled sermons.

Biffy Clyro - Puzzle

If i have to chose between Only Revolutions and Puzzle, it has to be Puzzle because its so much more epic, heavier, and crammed full of ideas. There's a double album coming which could be their death knell so appreciate them while they still rock.

Ted Maul - White Label

There are no other records like this one at all, nothing even close, full on deathcore mixed with techno elements, it might sound crazy, it sounds like it would never work, but it does. You'd be hard pressed to find an album as technically brutal as this.
