Late Of The Pier
The U.K. gives birth to another elctro rock band, Late Of The Pier. The four piece from Castle Donington formed in 2001 releasing singles sporadically. They signed with Parlophone Records, whose artists include bands such as Radiohead, Hot Chip, and Bat For Lashes. August of this year marked the release of their debut album Fantasy Black Channel.

The up and coming indie rock band has been compared to MGMT with their prominent usage of synthesizers and innovative fringes.
