Replace "Liverpool" with "Sheffield" and "talent scouts" with "the
internet (especially MySpace)" and that's exactly the story of the Arctic

But isn't that the point? They decided to promote their music themselves on
MySpace Music presumably because the record companies couldn't recognise
they had any prospect as moneyspinners (but I don't have any knowledge of
that).
