[Donner]

Ghostland Observatory for one
Augustana
Heartless Bastards as someone else said
Paulo Nutini
Blue October
Eli Young Band
Stevie Ray Vaughn
The Decembrists
Those are just the ones i can think of off the top of my head.

 

[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.

....

/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

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.....

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
Kyuss

 

[mr_goodwrench]

Here is some of the stuff I have been listening to lately:

We Are Scientists
Sam Roberts Band
Interpol
Arctic Monkeys
The Last Shadow Puppets(Arctic Monkeys singer's side project)
Vampire Weekend
Flobots
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

 

[Benny Blanco]

Too many good bands out. Any genre in particular you are looking for?

 

[FishinDave07]

You'll thank me later...http://www.myspace.com/ptpm

Ain't it a shame that Bobby_M has all the good bands tucked away in NJ

 

[jezter6]

I dunno if I mentioned them before, but I'm a fan of Emily's Toybox

http://www.emilystoybox.com

They have some mp3s for download on their site. Beware, they are not work friendly.

Also beware - they take what could have been good songs and really mess with them, so if you're a fan of 'purity' it might not be a good idea to download them.

I can't find any newer artists I like, all sounds like garbage, over produced crap. Recommendations? Someone gave me an Arcade Fire CD (Neon Bible), not too bad, kind of a Joy Division/Bruce Springsteen mix. Looking for some new tunes.

Anything out of KGSR in Austin.

I travel about 75% of the year all around the US and by far that station has the best new and interesting mix of radio music anywhere.

I now build my Rhapsody playlists from their website.

 

[BalouSC]

Some of the bands I have been into lately are:

Boys Like Girls
Saosin
Circa Survive
Angels and Airwaves
Paramore (on the fence still)
Mae

As you can see I like indie-ish stuff that doesn't go all the way into Emo. I will admit I like some Emo but mostly I like the prominent voices and pace of the music the most.

Lets not forget: Frank Sinatra (deserves his own line)

Michael Buble
Harry Connick Jr


Pretty deversified, Huh?

 

[nugget]

I like paramore too... If you want a few weird and odd names try Jade Lea, Jake Skubisz, The Papersons, Shamius, and Sorry No Ferrari. All of them are on CdBaby.com except for Jake Skubisz (myspace) and Shamius (shamius.com I think)

Not new bands but new albums

Pennywise - Reason to Believe
Millencolin - Machine

Two excellent new albums, better than the last few releases from both bands.

The Pennywise album was legally free for the first 650000 downloads, but you have to buy it on itunes now.

 

[Tankard]

Darkthrone.

Seriously, any black, death, thrash, or power metal band. Metalcore blows. Long live true metal.

 

[Greggy]

Tokyo Police Club

Greg

 

[CurtFlood]

The Hold Steady - Boys and Girls in America is an awesome rock album.
