VARIOUS V2 LATER...COOL BRITANNIA 2

Details

• Release Year: 2005
• Genre: Music, Special Interest
• Plot: First there was Brit Pop and then there was Anthem Pop and, ;atetly, there's been the new Art Pop, all of it chronicled on Britain's best live music show. Ever since Brit Pop our guitar bands have also been pop bands - sometimes this has made them a touch too polite and certainly Oasis and Blur still cast a long shadow over all of teh bands that came after them - but as a result the last ten years have been rich in big tunes with singalong qualities. Sure, there's still a divide between the angular types - Blur, Franz Ferdinand, The Libertines, The Futureheads - and teh boys in their street clothes singing about hope and misery - Oasis, Travis, Snow Patrol, Coldplay and many more - but there's a common interest in getting over and getting to the chorus. Of course, Later isn't jsut about boys and girls with guitars, bass and drums, but new British guitar bands are central to the show's DNA, and this collection of over 35 magic moments from teh best of new British guitar pop concentrates strongly on teh last 18 months - the return of Morrisey, the rise of Hard-Fi, Kaiser CHiefs, Razorlight, etc. - while harking back to some classic sessions fromteh likes ot The Verve, Radiohead, Suede and Manic Street Preachers, Cool Britannia just keeps on coming, here's some of teh coolest of teh cream.
