The Best Punk-ish Albums from Britain & Ireland's Nu-New Wave by 
DeusExMackia 
For the last five years or so, Britain and Ireland's indie, punk and post-punk bands have been offering up the defining alternative sound of these here isles, and it's one that I've immersed myself in more than any other scene as of late.
This list is an ongoing ranking of the punkier side of things, namely the wealth of post punk and punk-infused records we've seen of late. I might do another list for the more indie records released to at another point.
The term 'British Nu-New Wave' was coined by Grizzlemaster over on Rate Your Music, you can see their full list on the site.
