The Tunng, the experimental folk band from the UK, is often associated with the folctronica genre due to the electronic influences evident in some of their work. Tunng are often noted for their use of strange instruments, including sea shells.
The greatest strength of the Los Campesinos! (literally, the Peasants) is community: the eight members of the band from Cardiff, Wales cry or shout their joy and sorrow whilst playing guitar, the drums, or the violin and mainly crying or shouting, which makes their performance more potent and entertaining than most other indie bands. Overwhelming emotions, heartbreaks and sweeping, joyous melodies from one of the most energetic bands on the scene, who also go through the history of pop in their performances. The most important thing, however, is still their always refreshing group shouting.
