current bands you NEED to be listening to
Merkava:
--- Quote from: edwartica ---I highly recomend a Portland band called Menonema. Really interesting stuff. Actually, they are mentioned in the music recomendation part of QC.

Isn't your avatar the cover of one of their albums? They are pretty...interesting.
SpacemanSpiff:
The Holy Shroud - Ex-North of America and ex-Contrived guys discover indie. Unlike their previous stuff, this stuff is pretty straight and melodic even if the songs are rather rhythm-driven, but hey, that makes you want to dance, so it's all good in the end.
Into The Moat - Technical Metalcore from Florida. Driving, complex and aggressive music with nice jazz interludes. They also have MP3s, I recommend A Settling Of Ways.
Korlin:
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.[/quote]
Hmm, sounds interesting. I saw Like a Kind of matador support Boris at Brudenell and they were quite impressive, although I think their music is better digested over repeated listens than being thrown into it live. I'll definitely check out Guapo and La Quiete though. Are they both from Leeds, or play there regularly?
Kai:
The Residents - What a suprise, eh? While not exactly "current" (They've been around since the early 60's) they're still making records. And they wear eyeball masks and play more instruments than you can imagine. They don't play all of them really well, but if they did, then the music wouldn't be as awesome. Imagine Captain Beefheart on painkillers or Zappa on acid. Yeah.
Speaking of Beefheart and Zappa, listen to them.
The Disco Biscuits - I'm going to describe them in a way that makes many people angry or scared. They are a jam band. but no ordinairy jam band. The Best jam band in the world. Go download a show, they're free and awesome. ( http://bt.etree.org has some)
Tenacious D - I don't know how you wouldn't know em, but for the two of you that don't: Jack Black and Kyle somethingorother play two acoustic guitars and write songs about Satan and weed and shit. It fuckign rules.
sp2:
Didn't El Guapo change their name to Supersystem or something? Or is this a different Guapo we're talking about.
Also, the Constantines. Yes.
