If the album from quirky singer songwriter Florence And The Machine is half as good as her single Dog Days Are Over, then you should go with the Flo' in 2009.

Following in the footsteps of peers Laura Marling and Noah And The Whale, the indie folk gorgeousness of Mumford And Sons is sure to win a few hearts this year.

Canadians The Rural Alberta Advantage are poised to break through across the pond with their simply stunning debut Hometowns, and a UK onslaught can't be far behind.

The least commercially likely of my five to find, nevertheless London math rock outfit Three Trapped Tigers deserve to be as big as Battles with their engaging output.

Aussie rockers The Temper Trap may be minnows at the moment, but they'll be filling stadiums with their slick schtick before 2010 comes a-knocking.
Florence is brilliant, 'nuff said.
