When it came to nu metal, the UK never really stood a chance. The few nu-flavoured bands the country managed to birth always felt like pale, inauthentic imitations of what was happening on the other side of the Atlantic. Mostly, anyway. In February 2002, a new single emerged bearing all the hallmarks of a nu metal banger: chunky downtuned riffs, chest-beating choruses and a hint of record scratching.
And it managed to break the Top 10 on the UK singles charts. Finally, a UK nu metal hit! Only, Suffolk rockers A had absolutely nothing to do with the subgenre.
