These Brits incorporate the influential buzzings of classic U.K. bands from the '60s, like the Small Faces and the Kinks. Their '02 debut, "Sunshine Hit Me," was nominated for a Mercury Prize, the U.K.'s most prestigious "alternative" music award. The album was recorded in a backyard-shed-turned-studio. The founders of the Band of Bees, Paul Butler and Aaron Fletcher, are from the Isle of Wight off the coast of England. The duo later grew into a sextet of multi-instrumentalists.
