I recently discovered a "new" band I enjoy. Now, this is fairly unusual, since most of the music I listen to was produced by groups that had their heyday in about 1987. But anyway, for what it's worth, I really rather like Mesh.
They certainly aren't Depeche Mode, but the lead singer does sound quite like Martin Gore, and they do have a Depeche Mode-y feel to their music. It has a bit of a harder edge, as opposed to the (wonderful) mellower stuff that Depeche Mode has leaned toward in recent albums. Mesh is virtually unknown in the US, as far as I can tell; apparently, British synthpop isn't all that "cool" here anymore. People just don't know what's good...
My taste in music is forever indebted to England and synthesizers.
