This Scottish band called The Twilight Sad has been around a couple of years but they are part of a new wave of powerful Scottish Indie rock and this is from a soon-to-be-released album and it's really good. A searing wall of staccato guitar and driving rhythm backs the vocalist's punchy emotive delivery. Reminds me of Sonic Youth but with a more acccesible song structure.
(Note: the guitarist plays a Fender Jaguar through a Silverface Twin)
This is the official pre-album video release on Youtube:

Funny I ran across this via the CL hunt blog, cuz they're playing in two weeks in san jose. It's fate that I cannot avoid. Looks like I gotta see their live show!
