James, la banda de Manchester liderada por Tim Booth, que ha sido gran referencia de la musica alternativa inglesa de los 80' y de los 90' con su Brit-pop. Idolos de Morrisey, también ha tocado otros estilos como el Acid-house a finales de los 8o'. Su hit por excelencia fue "Sit Down" y "Laid". Después de Sit Down con la ayuda de Brian Eno en la producción se volvió más experimental y electrónico y eso se vio reflejado en álbumes exitosos como 'Whiplash', 'Millionaires' y 'Pleased To Meet You'.
