yeah that's pretty much it.

band examples include klaxons themselves and things like new young pony club, cansei de ser sexy (aka CSS) and sometime hadouken! are thrown in with the tag.

The term got coined by Merok Records' director, and Merok released Atlantis to Interzone, which started the whole New Rave scene off.
Also, CSS & NYPC aren't new rave, so why do people think they are? :rolleyes:

I don't know why NYPC are in there under 'main exponent' - they're not New Rave at all!

And I got the label wrong, it's Angular Records not Merok.

Hadouken! are crap! No way new rave, they get this "grindie" tag mainly when they are hardly grimey!! Lead singer is such a grime wannabe.
