Only thing that comes to mind is Arcade Fire and that's kinda debatable
There's stuff emerging over here, albeit slowly. And there are plenty of bands that might have been more appealing to the general punter who isn't over 35+. At least they do have the Mercury award winner and runner-up from 2007 even though one seems to be a throwback to a kind of 1980s sound mixed in with dance music, while the other does a pretty good impression of Bjork and Stevie Nicks and even charted at number five in the UK album charts this week.
