2. Boys In The Band

Now that being in a band is cool again, and now that grotty indie
guitar music seems a viable career choice, every corner of the UK
sprouts an exciting new group ... or two, or three. Glasgow's
Franz Ferdinand seize the moment, winning the Mercury Music
Prize. They are the undisputed early leaders of this new
scene-without-a-name, setting a tone that is unashamedly artistic
and literate. And also quite boozy.
