Fun Stuff > BAND
current bands you NEED to be listening to
Praeserpium Machinarum:
danish music in general, but more specifically:
Under Byen - female distinctive danish vocals(childlike and ancient at the same time), but that doesn't really matter because their blend of folk, classical and avantgarde is memerezing and beautiful. Det er Mig Der Holder Træene Sammen has been released in a couple European countries, while their first, Kyst, is almost impossible to get by without a gun in your hand.
Jomi Massage - avantgardish noise-rock, again a distinctive female singer in Signe Høirup Wille-Jørgensens feministic delivery both in lyrics and presence. Her debut Aloud is actually both quiet and loud, should appeal to Sonic Youth fans, if more accessible you could say.
Lise Westzynthius - Her second album Rock, You can Fly is a gorgeous pop album wrapped in warming noise, ala Joy Zipper. She is a chanteuse you say, and Rock, You Can Fly is one fine piece of plastic.
I could go on but I need to get some sleep...
a pack of wolves:
--- Quote from: Korlin ---Also, Forward Russia are for yes! Kinda spazzy-indie-rock with yelping vocals and danceable grooves. Whee!
--- End quote ---
I find them far too samey and arch myself. There just isn't the sense of fun I want from bands like that.
Anyway, currently rocking my socks:
Like A Kind of Matador - droney, arty heavyness with a flute. Features people also responsible for McWatt, Red Right Hand and Trees. Album coming soon, should be very good.
La Quiete - yes, overhyped screamo, but for once this band deserve it. Le Fine Non E La Fine is superb, but the insane live show's where they really excel.
Snowblood - um, post-rock sludge perhaps? Buggers to define or describe, but if the new album has material even half as good as Cape Wrath or that mammoth riff from Kali then I'll be very happy indeed.
Guapo - Black Oni is masterful and Five Suns with destroy the mind in a very very good way. And they have a gong. More bands need gongs. I wish they wouldn't burn all that incense live though.
I'll leave it at that for now I think. I second that Engine Down recommendation though, and Retisonic too. Although if anyone's planning to check them out avoid their debut mini-album, it doesn't do their live sound justice and you'll get a bad impression of what they're capable of. Pretty packaging though.
edwartica:
I highly recomend a Portland band called Menonema. Really interesting stuff. Actually, they are mentioned in the music recomendation part of QC.
dead.flag.blues:
MF motherfuckin Doom.
He has another project starting up with Danger Mouse called Danger Doom. I've heard a few tracks, and boy does it sound good.

ebullientsoul:
Bane- Because when the urge for real hardcore comes, Atreyu and Co. just dont' do it.
the Lawrence Arms-Eiether geniuses diluted by alcohol or because of it, no one knows.
the Bouncing Souls-Enough said.
