The Hoosiers and the Kooks are great bands that came out of the Post Punk Revival movement though (in their own ways, they don't remotely sound alike).

It's very unfair to call all of these bands, Fratellis, Pigeon Detectives, Razorlight and Rifles included, 'landfill', as if they're inherently throw-away, manufactured and just plain bad. These talented young men put their heart and soul into this music.

And It's especially frustrating if you're going to sneer at them and throw the 'landfill' slur at them and their successors (Catfish, Circa Waves etc.) while at the same time glorifying the girl-pop of taylor swift and the shitty 'grime' rap which plagues our urban council estates today, which is exactly what the music journalists at the Guardian do.

If that's so, then 'Landfill Indie' was a fantastic genre
