Last week, I bought the NME Originals book about Britpop, seeing as it was right about the time I was growing up and it got me thinking. The rise of Blur, Oasis, The Verve, Pulp, Suede etc. was a great time for British music and it got me thinking. Is the recent Franz Ferdinand, Kaiser Chiefs, Bloc Party, Keane etc. popularity a new Brit Rock revolution. I mean, Hard-Fi got a Number 6 single, Oasis have had 2 number ones, Razorlight stole the show at Live 8, Pete Doherty is making the news and Franz Ferdinand and the Kaiser Chiefs are about to take over the damn world.
Is this 1993-98 repeating itself all over again? Will The Futureheads be selling out Knebworth in 3 years? Will the Arctic Monkeys debut album outsell Eminem? Do you guys think there's a new revolution in British Music today?
