Last updated:
British rock encompasses the diverse guitar-driven sounds emerging from the United Kingdom, ranging from blues-influenced hard rock to post-punk revival and progressive experiments. It carries a distinctly British cultural sensibility in its lyrical wit, social commentary, and melodic approach that sets it apart from American rock traditions. The tag represents a broad spectrum of styles united by geography rather than a single sonic template, reflecting decades of UK musical innovation.
