The Strange Death of Liberal England also known as TSDOLE were a five member band from Portsmouth, England. Their influences range from folk to indie rock to post rock with this diversity creating a large number of followers, including BBC Radio One DJs Steve Lamacq, Zane Lowe and Huw Stephens. The band took its unusual name from George Dangerfield's 1935 book of the same name, about the early 20th century decline of the Liberal Party. ==History== Forming in 2005 the five piece band began life with mainly instrumental songs, however as they grew as a band lyrics began to appear in their songs. Their music was often compared to the likes of Arcade Fire and the early work of Pixies, although as they began to form their own following they broke away from these comparisons and began to form their own path.
