I see there aren't many fans of 2000's rock music, so there's no sense in making a thread for each band I like, because there wouldn't be enough people there to participate. So now, I start this thread as a way of exposing some of my favourite bands of the last decade. Some of these bands are really famous, and others not that much, but I believe all of them to be very good and they deserve their space in this forum. I hope a lot of you get to know them and forget that prejudice that every rock band after Nirvana sucks (some of you even go way past Nirvana)
I would like to start the thread with one of my all-time favourite bands.
The Libertines
The Libertines was one of those bands that started the PostPunk Revival or GarageRock Revival. They are from the UK and changed everything in that country as the century was just beginning. I like to consider them as The Clash meets Sex Pistols meets The Smiths. Not sure about The Smiths, but I kinda see some influence in their music. They are what you would define as a classick british rock band, and have some of the most loyal fans in the british music scene (some of them almost get to the point of being Hooligan-like).
The Libertines are formed by Carl Barat, Pete Doherty, John Hassall and Gary Powell. They had some issues with drugs (specially Pete Doherty who made global headlines for his drug issues and sentimental relationship with supermodel Kate Moss) and disbanded. But in 2010 they reunited to play in the Reading and Leeds Festivals (it is well known that a lot of people went to the festival mostly to see this reunion, leaving the premises after their performance, and before the performance of headliners Arcade Fire). Both of their albums were produced by Mick Jones of The Clash.
Now here are some videos:
