this thread is so that youcan name all the bands and songs you want jeph to namecheck in QC or indietits.
just to stop everyone from posting about every single band and song they've ever heard of, could you give some kind of reasoning behind why your bands/songs should be referenced.
my list is
irish (would it kill you to do a st.patrick's day special?):
the chalets - cos they're one of the best irish bands going at the moment, and they first and so far only album is the only instance i've ever heard the artistic musical equivalent of an orgasm.
the frames - cos they've been going for the best part of two decades without much recognition, and they are the best live act i've ever seen in person.
other irish acts i'd love to see mentioned are the thrills, who are fading back under the radar after they're initial boom, snow patrol, who have just had their second hit album on our shores, and are really good.
also damien rice, simple kid and david kitt, three of the smaller irish indiesinger/songwriters that have produced consistantly good work for many a year.
and then there's damien rice's old band, bellX1, who have been just unsuccessful enough with their first album to make it barely under the radar. and they have a great sound too, real anthemic shit.
then there's the rest of the irish crowd,
republic of loose
humanzi
the marchalls
the immediate (i'm actually three degrees of seperation away from these guys, my sister knows one of them's brother)
then there's this bunch of yahoos calling themselves u2, i hear they're making a bit of a splash.
then there's non-irish bands
muse - cos they are indie and underground, but on an epic scale. anyone who saw them at reading will know what i'm talking about.
they might be giants - cos they're the best abstract-alt-pop-rock band around
the brianjonestown massacre (any indie kid worth their salt shouldn't need an explaination here)
anyone else got any suggestions?
