Bear's Den

This song.  It's unbelievable, with the perfect balance of plucking banjos and driving rock beat.  I was immediately sold on this English band when I heard this song.  I love the simplicity of it.  While their other music is much less beat-driven and more contemplative/slow, the atmosphere is still similar.  Right now the band has two EPs out, and they are just wrapping up a US tour (playing in Chicago tonight).  I think they will go a long way, though, and they should have no trouble standing out from the many other "bear"-related bands out there at the moment.  Here's another of their really good songs.
