Love a bit of Anti Nowhere League now and again. Went through a punk/ska phase a while ago and discovered illScarlett, half decent band from Canada.

Anti-Flag are awesome. Die For Your Government such a tune. Turncoat, Ranknfile also great

When I saw "The Steal" I read it as "The Scare" who are one of the worst bands have had the misfortune to witness.

Once supporting "Gay For Johnny Depp" last year. Amazing band btw. And once a few weeks back supporting the mighty "Reuben".

I need to listen to Reuben, one of Biffy Clyro's top neighbours on last.fm and I've just got into Biffy...Is it likely I'll like them if I like Biffy?
Any other bands you'd recommend in a vague Biffy Clyro/Frank Turner/Mars Volta direction? (Basically stuff that isn't punk/ska/hardcore)

Any fans of Aconite Thrill here, a trully amazing band.

Of course I didn't mention Million Dead. How could I have missed them.

Also Eden Maine. I absolutely loved this band.

someone mention less than jake already ffs

And
Bad Religion & Pennywise

Also like Amphetameanies and generally, all fast ska and punk ska (ala, voodoo glow skulls) but ignoring Rancid's more recent efforts).

Hell Is For Heroes, Idlewild are definitely two, maybe Hundred Reasons as well - if it's Biffy you are talking about :thup:

Set Your Goals on tour with No Trigger in August in the UK, I have my ticket booked for the Glasgow date on the 13th, but there will be others as it's a UK tour (probably already announced the dates actually) had a listen to No Trigger last week, pretty good :cool:

and Rise Against are No2 in my all-time scrobbler list for artists despite me not hearing a track until last summer, so that's all I have to say about them - over 1.2k plays since then :cool:

I already like HIFH and bits of Idlewild and HR, any more obscure suggestions?

There's a date in Stoke, so pleased with that because travelling anywhere is a bitch. SYG = awesome. No Trigger = pretty good. Been a lil while since I listened though, will have to start again before the gig. Ages away though tbh...

Nearly 2.8k plays since Sept '05 and No 1, do I win?
