Re: British Bands
Arctic Monkeys are the best of the bunch there and they havent even released an album yet. Very witty lyrics, great riffs and are miles better than Maximo Park or Franz Ferdinand. Bloc Party and The Editors are good tho and they use "Munich" on Match Of The Day

Check out Black Wire too, they have a great debut album out. A band I like but seem to have sank without trace recently are South, though they are more Stone Roses/Charlatans influenced than this current batch who've been listening to too many PiL/Gang Of Four/Joy Division records.

To anyone into these bands, checking out the above 3 bands would be a great idea.

Gang Of Four: Solid Gold/Entertainment
Joy Division: Permanent
Public Image Limited: Public Image Limited/Second Edition
also Wire: Pink Flag/Chairs Missing

Maybe they arent as polished as the current crop, but that gives them more edge and this post-punkfunk certainly didnt get the attention it deserved at the time.
