More people should listen to......

The Lucksmiths---Very good indie pop from down under. If you like Belle and Sebastian and wonderful pop songs do yourself a favor and check them out.

The World Inferno Friendship Society Too many words can be said about this band. World Inferno plays what has been called "carnival" or "circus" Punk. With two drummers, a three person horn section, a bass player and a guitar player and believe it or not a piano/accordion player, this band turns out amazingly well crafted tunes. World Inferno is simply unlike anything you have ever heard before. They have songs based on classic movie stars(like Peter Lore), dead punk rockers(like Jeffrey Lee Pierce) and a scary love of halloween. So if any of this sounds like fun to you,  go to their website and track down some of their songs.

If for some reason you can't find any songs by either band I would be happy to help you out just PM me or IM me.

Poke:
I love Fall Out Boy (listening to it at this very moment) and The Dresden Dolls which have been mentioned previously. But a band that everyone needs to know...

DISPATCH

It's techinically in the genre of jam rock I think, but I don't describe it very well but supposedly it's "funk and reggae influenced pop tunes"
Lots of their songs song pretty different, but man they have some of the best lyrics ever! My personal favorite songs of theirs are

The General
Openup
Out Loud
Bang, Bang
Bats in the Belfy
Small Change

For some reason I totally cannot stand the World/Inferno Friendship Society. I don't like their song construction. Plus I kinda have this view that proper punk shouldn't employ any instruments that can't be used in the brawl that results when the venue won't pay the band their fee because they used the word 'cunt' too many times.

How about Skyclad? I am fast coming to the opinion that I am, in fact, the worlds largest Skyclad fan. I would assume that their often upbeat, fiddle-and-guitar combo, lyrically driven folk metal might appeal to the kind of crowd that hangs around here, but everyone I have tried it on doesn't seem to like it. Some say it is too odd or outside their comfort zone (increasing my opinion that indie is really a very tame and unadventurous form of musical expression), some say it is too folky (Recent studies have shown that being too folky is impossible). One even said that he couldn't take it seriously because 'It's obvious he's trying to entertain' (This is obviously what people say when confronted with something that isn't ball-bitingly pretentious).  Give them a go. Give them a proper go. Get one of their old, Martin Walkyier helmed albums (I would suggest Folkemon, The Answer Machine? or Irrational Anthems) And really give it a few good listens. Once you key into M. Walkyiers vocal register and pick up the subtle emotions, as well as those transmitted by the music, they are seriously, seriously good. Unique, original music with fantastic lyrics and social commentary invested with the venom of someone who has actually been on the recieving end of society. And did I mention the lyrics?

Please, please, PLEASE try them out and love them.

dancarter:
got a few here...(and bear in mind, most of these bands are probably better known than i think they are, because i tend to get blank stares when i mention them)

christ analogue would be a big pick for me.  they've this glitchy, coldwave*sigh*, earlier industrial sound with bits of other things thrown in as well.

i, parasite is another big pick.  you hear any of the albums & you'll know why.

idiom of sad.  really haunting, beautiful music...for your sad-ons.

Revenge_Therapist:
