Post-SXSW: Unknown bands to know

So, the lovefest between those jammy freeloading journo's and music industry moguls that is South By South West is over (can you sense the bitterness... can you? I didn't get to go but instead watched Pitchfork each day and dreamed. However, if I had gone I'd have missed a rather special Arcade Fire gig at London's Brixton Academy, a review of which will follow at some point, so its not all bad).

Anyway, you could trapse round blog after blog finding out the bands that were apparently on the tips of all those Austin located tarts tongues last week (getting bombarded with cheap advertisting banners in the process) or just read my list below. I have kindly edited out the shite for your listening pleasure ! Oh how good of me hey! I have also included a few who should be checked out regardless of whether they were @ SXSW.
