Suggestion from my playlist
The Levellers are (in my opinion) one of the most underrated of British bands. Not sure why, but possibly because they had such an overt political message that they weren't deemed appropriate for mainstream radio in the past. Despite this, they have a loyal following and are still going strong 17 years after the release of One Way (see video above).
The band currently have a new album out, Letters from the Underground. I've heard a few tracks and really liked them, particularly A Life Less Ordinary which was offered as a free download and has become a regular on my playlist. Their music has matured, but still has that certain edge and individuality that marked them out from the hoards of folk/rock bands of the early 90s.
You can find out more about Letters from the Underground and listen to some of the tracks you might have missed over at The Levellers official website.
