If you're into Manchester Orchestra,

what about like Brand New, Kevin Devine, mewithoutYou, The Get-Up Kids?

Definately go for Manchester Orchestra! Saw them at the ICA a week ago, they were brilliant.

P.s. Kevin Devine was unbelievably epic also, he supported.

Brand new, kevin devine as said above.

sorry this question was so rubbish.....i had about 30 seconds left on my lunch break when i wrote it!

i meant mainly small U.S indie bands that are relatively unknown in the UK.

cheers for the answers anyways, will check out all the bands that i haven't heard!

moneen have a similar kind of manchester orchestra/brand new sound..

Also, circa survive, although they probably appeal more to the emo crowd

Band of Horses.

On a different topic, everyone should check out And So I Watch You From Afar because they kick ass!
