Stay Together For The Kids

Six bands of the new millennium that should’ve been huge but instead just broke up

1. Boys Of Brazil. Punk to the bones. Plus their keyboardist was Emily Rotter.

2. Elle Milano. Art school sense of humour. Bring it back and make the snob in me happy.

3. GoodBooks. Great voice, great lyrics and a passion for music to match. Infectious keyboards and drums.

4. BoNO Must Die. Just because of their name. Yes, you’ve heard me. They also had some great tunes.

5. Black Wire. Dark, moody, perverted. And lots of black eyeliner.

6. Yourcodenameis:milo. Progressive hardcode band that loved to experiment around. Really, we might not really get the point of that song with Lethal Bizzle, but it sure sounds fantastic.

Worth mentioning: Ipso Facto

The all-female London-based trio announced on Friday that they are going to split. Sure, the members all have new projects, but deep down inside, you just wanted to hear their debut and see them as big as The Horrors are now.
