Gosh, how did I forget to mention The Fugitives last time? Fantastic band, they do a mixture of slam poetry, folk-y sort of singing, and occasionaly there's some beatboxing thrown in by C.R. Avery.

Now, I had never heard of them before I saw them open for The Apples in Stereo, but Casper and the Cookies were a metric ton of fun. Sure, they're so twee they may Sufjan Stephens sound like Kamelot, but it's so damn catchy.

The Network...
You might like them if your into New Wave / Powerpop / Experimental
They say they're not Green Day, but I'm pretty the singer "Fink" is the lead singer of Green Day.

^Hey Rosetta is a Canadian band that I fell in love with, and no one I know in real life has ever heard of them.

^Lions in the Street are a cool group, very throwback 70s classic rock, also Canadian, and you can download their entire EP off the website.

Based on what I've found around the internet, C.R. Avery was once in The Fugitives, but isn't anymore. He did beatbox on two or three of the songs on their latest album though. Anyway, you should all be checking them out, because they are mighty amazing.

Since lately "Beirut" (a.k.a. Zack Condon) has brought attention to the music of eastern europe with its polka-rhythms and fancy instruments, I wonder if anybody on this forum has yet happened to come across norwegian band "Kaizers Orchestra". Over in europe they entertain a small but hugely devoted fanbase (in particular central and, of course, northern europe). In contrast to "Beirut" they really can (and DO) rock! Be it on CD or - even more so - when on stage.

Maybe you wanna check them out on myspace: http://www.myspace.com/kaizerso

Ah, and yes: that's Norwegian what they are singing (for information in English go to this German Website http://www.kaizers.de/x_index.php - there you'll also find the lyrics translated).

[Edit: spell check]

If you like Iron Maiden style metal, as well as like new experiments, you definetly need to listen to Mago de Oz, its a Spanish rock band that has mixed death metal with classic and celtic folklore music.

A Wonderful is a lovely largely solo project of this guy Tim Wilson from Rochester. He started a label with some friends and they each have mostly solo bands. A Wonderful is the best of the bunch, featuring mostly shorter songs with (often) clever lyrics. It's pretty lo-fi and pretty great too.

Here's 'A Wonderful'

Also listen to Haggard, they're a bit more heavy and the vocalist has a very deep and grinding voice, but the mix of a full clasical orchestra with ultra heavy death metal is pretty sweet.

Thunderbirds are Now!, Architecture in Helsinki, and surprisingly, Panthers and the Stills. You'd be surprised how many people have never heard of any of those bands.

If you like J-Rock (Japanese rock) then check out Miyavi. He may look a bit femme, but he is great. He can play the guitar like it was a toy and he can sing amost every kind of music. Most of his music is heavy, which is good for me.

I have the same problem with Unexpect that I have with a lot of those uber-tech avant-garde metal bands, which is that there's no sense of cohesiveness to their music, it's all about beating you over the head with its complexity...and I'm a fan of some pretty wanky stuff in a lot of genres.

I wonder how few of the indie people seem to know Psychotic Waltz / Deadsoul Tribe ... I'd be interested to know why ... even if they are usually labelled as prog metal, there seems to be a LOT of alt rock/post rock feel to the music....

Also... Has the world already forgotten Acid Bath?

An album shows a lot more cohesiveness than a single song does. Check out Novae off the myspace page. It's one of their older songs, but it has a more tied together feel.

Snow Patrol are definitely not unknown. They've had top 10 singles in the US, and their last album hit number 27 on the Billboard charts. Not even remotely unknown.

i took it ya didn't click on the link huh? the link had nothing to do with the BAND Snow Patrol, the link was to the music video of the SONG Snow Patrol by AlpineStars, the aforementioned band that was in that post. Very good song.

i hate that Snow Patrol automatically means the band T_T the Alpinestars song is so awesome

Oh man, I love Alpinestars. I did think the exact same thing when I heard of the band Snow Patrol as well, oddly enough.

Also, the Australian band Gyroscope are a bit of alright.

American Death/ Grind band released 1 album in the mid 90's then broke up, they were really good, kind of like Celtic Frost but doomier if that makes sense, listen to the tracks on their myspace they are quite good.

I'm really diggin' The Angelic Process. I'm on my girlfriend's laptop, listening to it over the noise of a hair dryer. Somehow I think it will be way better when I'm at home in a quiet room. >_<

I'll toss www.myspace.com/fromexile in here. They're an unsigned metal band from Atlanta. The vocals are black, but I'm a bit at a loss as to the instrumentals. They're melodic and tight, but also pretty jammy (yes, all at once). Check out Soliloquy of Death if you listen to one song. They are my favorite band, period, and 80% of what I listen to is metal. Highly reccomended.

DEAR GOD LET THEM GET SIGNED SO THEY TOUR TO THE MIDWEST.

breathe owl breathe

Quote

An earthy Michigan duo with roots in indie, classical and traditional music, Breathe owl Breathe has cultivated a musical landscape that is at once playful and reverent, silly and heartfelt, mysterious and familiar. Micah Middaugh and Andrea Moreno-Beals experiment with an array of stringed instruments (most notably the cello and guitar) and vocal harmonies to texture their original songs. They were raised by rivers and gardens and their instruments tell the tales. They traveled to cities and islands and their voices tell the tales. They are here for you, Breathe owl Breathe.

Guys, posting a band name with no link and no description of what it is or why you like it is pretty dumb. If you really love the band you're posting, you can spare a few sentences you are describing.

Also, these kind of 'name a band' threads are a lot more fun for everyone when you actually respond to what others post, instead of just posting your own band.

Xasthur are pretty popular, but I've never really been able to get into them I have "Nocturnal Poisoning" doesn't do a whole lot for me, though I have heard some of he's other albums are better. I recommend you check out Abyssic Hate, "Suicidal Emotions" is probably the best SBM album I've heard

"Another Prophet's Song" is perhaps one of the greatest songs ever.

And to whoever posted about The Angelic Process --- Thank you.

For my contribution, both what I consider indie rock:
Pablo - http://www.myspace.com/pablomusic http://pablosmusic.com/ (Their main site appears to be down for some reason)

Just really good music, made by really cool people. I've seen them at least 5 times. (I keep saying them, when technically it's a solo album)

Kevin Devine - http://www.myspace.com/kevindevine http://kevindevine.net/news.aspx

Seen him just as many times as Pablo, Often at the same show. More good stuff.

And now to probably never post again....

There's an unsigned indie-rock band called Colours Run, out of Manchester, that I am totally in love with. The closest band I can compare them to is probably Guster. Lots of piano. You can listen to both of their CDs in their entirety (minus one song from Cynical Wonderful and a thirty-second clip of "Pilot Light") on last.fm if you do a search for them. Their CD (a demo, actually, according to lead singer Tim Cameron, on their website message board, coloursrun.com/forum) is also available to buy at cafepress.com. On their message board they've been announcing an EP available soon which will contain five songs.

I also really, really love The Inklings. I keep thinking of them as "a more melodic Breeders" but that's not totally accurate. Their entire CD, Rhizomes, can be downloaded at last.fm.
