Instant Band Crush: Los Campesinos!

These guys are simply too much. A cross between the wild ADD rambling musical styles of Architecture in Helsinki and the post-punk stylings of the Futureheads. This Cardiff based septet just signed to Arts & Crafts (Broken Social Scene, Stars, Feist, Metric, others). Who doesn't love a band with titles like "We Throw Parties, You Throw Knives!" or "You! Me! Dancing!" My first internet crush: this video for "International Tweexcore Underground" which references an old Heavenly 7" series.

From Stereogum:

I never got my ears pierced, and look how I turned out!

I bet you can find more of their songs on elbo.ws for preview purposes before you acquire their awesome EP "Sticking Fingers Into Sockets."
