Pinning down these guys is hard although they are to your ears what your favorite shoes are to your feet. London's The More Assured are experts in assimilating the history of smart British rock, coming off like a much more energetic Belle & Sebastian or The Kinks with 21st century tendencies. They are part of a loose scene (at least this is what I gather from an extending period of Myspace page jumping) that contains a number of other solid bands, like Pull in Emergency, the FortyFives and Kets. The single "All in Your Head" is available now on iTunes.
