Josh Rouse
Jesse Malin
Kings of Leon
New Pornographers
Interpol
Wilco
Andrew Bird
The Rosebuds
Ray LaMontagne
Pete Yorn
Ratatat
Johnny A.
Old 97s
Heartless Bastards
Greenhornes
Decemberists

Guster

 

[Dude]

You MUST check out Black Mountain. I haven't stopped listening to them since I bought the latest disc. Very refreshing band.

 

[MikeFlynn74]

I wouldnt say these are new- Just from what Ive seen not real public.

Lacuna Coil
Ra

 

[DeathBrewer]

Skeleton Witch is a recent one for me. most of you probably won't like it, but hey...thought i'd throw it out there

 

[TheBrewPig]

I second the nomination of Rise Against and Funeral for a Friend. Although FFAF have gone a bit soft with the last 2 albums, Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation was a surperb album and these boys rock in concert.

My fav band is Killswitch Engage, but only if you like the music that has the heavy screamier stuff as well as the mellow type singing. The guitar work is outstanding.

When I was in Austin in 2003 there was a great local band called "Canvas" (I think). Those guys were great!

 

[heinz57]

A new guy I've been listening to calls himself The Dear Hunter.

Very new, and absolutely not over produced.

Try Calexico, Supersuckers, Wilco, Soft boys (underwater moonlight)

+1 for the Supersuckers. A year or 2 ago I seen them open up for Social Distortion and it was the first time I was ever so impressed with an opening act that I had to find out about them. Since then I've got pretty much most of their colleciton plus the lead singer's solo albums. They are generally a hard rock band with punk and country flavor. The 2 solo albums are "outlaw" country type discs (a bunch of covers and some originals).

Last Saturday I seen them play a double set (first set with the lead singer and another player doing a country set) followed by the full band. I was up front and got a boat load of pictures and was able to grab the setlist and he signed it for me. Real nice guy, talked to him for a good couple of minutes. The best place to start with them is probably "Motherf**ckers Be Trippin".

 

[janzik]

I tend to rock, but here are a few gems of mine from the last 4-5 years

Mike Ness (lead singer of Social Distortion) "Cheating at Solitiare" - country rockabilly, very derivitive, very good

Rise Against - anything really - The heir apparent to Bad Religion

AFI - Decemberunderground - it blew me away. still does, in fact

Another vote for Mike Ness and Rise Against...

 

[Danny013]

PRIMUS SUCKS!

Can't believe no one has thrown them out here yet. Bad ass talented musicians on acid. Doesn't get any better than that, no sir!

Other than that, check out some Tool, RHCP, Queens of the Stone Age, Beastie Boys. If you like the harder stuff definitly check out Opeth's newest Ghost Reveries. Excellent metal album.

You, my friend, have great taste.

The new BFMV album is pretty cool.

I'm seeing KsE on the 24 and 27 this month. Once at a festival, the second time their own show. It gonna be sweet.

If you're a fan of Neon Bible, there are some other great Canadian bands going on right now. Check out the New Pornographers (album "Mass Romantic" for straight-ahead rock, "Challengers" for more alternative). They're great. Broken Social Scene's eponymous album is good. If you want something less straight-ahead, check out the individual projects of some of the people in these 'supergroups'; Dan Bejar's "Destroyer", Emily Haines's "Metric", Feist or Neko Case as themselves, etc.

Outside of Canada, one of the albums which I always associate with Neon Bible (perhaps simply because I got it at the same time) is The Crane Wife by the Decemberists. It's good stuff, includes some neat singles, a broken-up three song suite, and one massive prog epic track in the middle. It's fun times, they're great and entertaining.

There are some straight-ahead college-rock bands, like "OK Go" or "Clap Your Hands Say Yeah", that are catchy if unsubstantial, and worth a look.

I've been listening a lot these days to a catchy, wimpy Scottish band called Belle and Sebastian, but that's not everyone's thing. You can get as wacky as you want: Fiery Furnaces for silly and fun electronic pop, Panda Bear for Brian-Wilson-esque spacy-indie (you'll see what I mean), DeVotchKa for epic pan-ethnic operatic folk-rock, Joanna Newsom for sprawling poetic songs and a harp and an untrainable voice. . .

I'm going to stop myself before I start talking about Cat Power or the Animal Collective or Dan Deacon or Clor or Sunset Rubdown or . . .

There's a lot of good music being made right now. It's just not on the radio.

 

[PeteOz77]

Southern Culture On The Skids "SCOTS"

"Plastic Seat Sweat" is awesome! Followed closely by "Liquored Up and Laquered Down"

You're quite the night owl. There certainly isn't much on the radio around here. I used to like Onion River Radio (mellow but good), but somebody killed that.

 

[Pugilist]

Load up some Led Zeppelin and tell me any modern bands come close to their level of talent. All hail the mighty Zep! :rockin:

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

Its nothing new, but I would say check out some Built To Spill and Dinosaur Jr

Maybe check out The Thermals as well

Led Zeppellin are not a band. There are GODS!!:rockin: :rockin:

Vampire Weekend
Blonde Redhead
LCD Soundsystem

[EricK The Red]

My band isn't over produced...http://myspace.com/stanforyou2000

 

[Desert_Sky]

Authority Zero

 

[jarrid]

hey, I almost forgot about this thread. I have some more to add - some that I've discovered recently and have been listening to constantly:

The Waxwings
Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
The Minus 5

 

[adx]

I'll second Black Mountain. Can't stop listening since downloading from eMusic.

Dinosaur Jr may be an old band, but they did just release a new record in 2007.

 

[mstev50]

I'll have to agree with the Heartless Bastards.
To listen to some very cool sounds check out www.wcbn.org
Fridays 3-5 pm eastern are great. The "Tight Pants" show

Led Zeppellin are not a band. There are GODS!!:rockin: :rockin:

Is that why you aren't religious?

Eh.. Led Zep are ok... too bad that dude can't sing.

....

*ducks for cover*

/you're welcome

Excellent call, hopleaf.

Also, you can never go wrong with some old Billy Bragg or The Clash. Def. not new bands, but they both make great stuff.

For "new" bands, I've been listening to a lot of The National, The Avett Brothers (blue-grassy Indie rock), and Andrew Bird.

 

[Brakeman_Brewing]

I still recommend The Thermals

 

[PeteOz77]

Yeah, Robert Plant can't sing and the Jimmy Page guy can't play a guitar either...but that Bonham character sure could DRINK!

You're quite the night owl. There certainly isn't much on the radio around here. I used to like Onion River Radio (mellow but good), but somebody killed that.

I work a fair number of overnight shifts at a reception desk. They're easy to pick up when the money's short.

I don't know how far the signal gets, but from where I am it's often worthwhile to check out CKDU. They're as hit-and-miss as any college radio, but hit-and-miss still includes some hit. (Hit as in good, not as in popular. They seem to be mutually exclusive these days.)

 

[CurtFlood]

I still recommend The Thermals

****ing A is one of my favorites...what's your take on the new one? A lot of Thermals fans think it's too "radio friendly" but I honestly haven't had a chance to listen to much of it (besides pillar of salt, of course).

 

[cclloyd]

Ok _ I just browsed the whole thread and have a couple more that I like a lot and didn't see mentioned:

Mofro - a good Florida band out of Jacksonville - they call their music "front porch funk"

The Drive-By Truckers - a smart southern band with great lyrics and kick-a$$ guitar riffs a la Molly Hatchet or Lynyrd Skynyrd

+1 for The Avett Brothers - their latest album "Emotionalism" is a masterpiece IMHO.

Avenged Sevenfold - one of the current metal crowd that has yet to break big - I think they may have had one radio song from their latest. I saw them on the Warped Tour a few years back and they smoke.

Flogging Molly - traditional Irish music (kind of) played at warp speed - good stuff.

How about a few old favorites you may or may not already be familiar with:

Elvis Costello / Ben Folds Five / Steve Earle / Walter Trout / Robben Ford / G. Love & Special Sauce / Deftones / The Nixons / Freddy Jones Band / Helmet.... and the list goes on.....

****ing A is one of my favorites...what's your take on the new one? A lot of Thermals fans think it's too "radio friendly" but I honestly haven't had a chance to listen to much of it (besides pillar of salt, of course).

Its just a bit more mastered and produced than before is all. Its also kinda like a rock opera, the album follows one theme and its like a chronological story.

It still rocks faces off though.

FM takes random kittens from the security of their mom's teat and punches them in their dumb faces. I have all their stuff and am greatly anticipating their new release "Float" coming out soon. (this week maybe?)

 

[CurtFlood]

bump...

Any other suggestions out there? I'm thinking about rejoining emusic.com, but I'm not sure what I should pick up.

 

[bru-er]

Floater
