Fight The Bear! they are totally professional - Fantastic band!
purely for the fact that they make their own music without trying to emulate bands that are popular, i think fight the bear should win.
they don’t try and sound like the artic monkeys or jack penate, or even amy winehouse, god rest her soul.
they also make a damn fine pot of tea.
