So, I like this band, and then they split up...

Every now and again, I find myself in that rare exciting moment of music happiness where you really like a band, and they're fab and no one has heard of them. Then you jump about telling everyone about this fab new band you like. Everyone is very excited. Happy ears all around.

And then they bloody split up.

So this evening's soundtrack is music I really like, by wonderful bands who split up not long after I decided I liked them. Bastards. Brilliant, talented bastards.

The 22-20s - Why don't you do it for me?

The 22-20s were awesome. Awesome people like the 22-20s. That's not to say if you haven't heard of them you're not awesome, but if you listen to them and decide you like them, I'll think you're more awesome.



Stabbing Westward - What do I have to do?

Stabbing Westward were such an amazing band. All too often likened to Nine Inch Nails, but a fab band in their own right. And Chris Hall is just a whole charismatic thing of sexiness.



Ben and Jason - I can't find any actually videos of actual songs, but this video has lots of awesome songy bits in it. Listen to them, then buy their albums. I can't describe how much I love these guys.



Can someone have a word with these guys and get them all singing again? That can be my Christmas present if you like.
