Rancid are magnificent. 'And out come the wolves' is one of my favourite albums. They are big fans of a lot of the early uk punk stuff, particularly the Clash, so perhaps that's where some of the accent comes from.

Quote: Aaron @ March 11, 2008, 11:04 PMDo people have singing accents? I can't identify them.
Tom Smith from the Editors has a random accent which makes him sound like Interpol when he sings!
Actually, I just thought of one guy - I think The Feeling dude - who does actually sound impossibly English when he sings.
Chesney Hawkes was the first person I heard sing properly English.
Caaahn't take that away from me he warbled.
Anyone else would have said 'can't' the American way.
Good old Ches...

The Bonzo Dog Band is so peaky! I never heard them before. Although I could swear I've heard my dad hum that tune before. I just listened to their "Hunting Tigers" song that was awesome!

Actually he sounds EXACTLY like Ian Curtis of Joy Division.
Not to say that's bad though.

Find I'm The Urban Spaceman. And quite probably the greatest band name ever. The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. Can anyone think of any better band names?

How about "The intro, the outro"?
Count Bassie Orchestra on spoons!
And who can forget "Down at jollity farm"?
