With all the recent music taking over pop music led by Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, etc basically every Fueled By Ramen band. I thought I would introduce you to the form it takes in the UK:

Drive-By Argument
Forming in early October 2004, Drive-By Argument are a Scottish based quintet fusing guitars, synthesizers, keyboards and both acoustic and electronic drums to form their dance-rock sound. Drive-By Argument is Stoke (lead vox, synth), Ryan (bass, bv), Lewis (drums), Stu (guitar, bv) and Colin (guitar, synth).
After releasing, and quickly selling out a limited edition 1000 run single 'Sex Lines Are Expensive Comedy' on Scottish label One Records, the song was adopted by The New York Rangers as an unofficial anthem playing at the team's home games in Madison Square Garden. Drive-By Argument are preparing to record their debut album with producer Howard Grey (Apollo 440, The Cure, Art Brut).
DBA has opened for P!ATD on certain dates in the UK recently.

Drive-By Argument - Lower Your Pieces (Mastered).mp3 opens with Stokes haunting vocals (reminiscent of Adam Duritz) but evolves into something else entirely by the end of the song.

The obvious single:Drive-By Argument - Sega Method (Radio Edit - Mastered).mp3

Drive by argument are brilliant, been a fan for about two years now. Unfortunatley never seen them live. Some of their demo stuff is hilarious.
