Fun Stuff > BAND
Looking for new bands
KharBevNor:
Partly, partly...
Seriously though, try out different stuff. From where you are, I started listening to Metallica, Arch Enemy and Cradle of Filth, which has in a round-about way led me to all sorts of metal, rock, folk, neo-classical, goth, darkwave, punk, electronic, progressive, experimental etc. music that falls outside and, in my opinion above, a lot of what you'd see in your Pitchfork media. It's the fact that I can't imagine my life without all this highly interesting and amazingly kick-ass music. I can't imagine how I'd get my inspiration for art and my own music without music that celebrates the power of individual spirit and imagination, I can't imagine what ideas I'd have about spirituality and religion without hearing, to me, breathtakingly beautiful works like 'One Rode to Asa Bay' and 'Song to Pan'. I can't imagine who I'd BE without my music. I would just like to see other people take that route.
I dunno, I suppose everyone would like people to see the world like they do.
Kai:
I'd love to send people down my route of "Woah that music is weird. THey're on shrooms and household cleaners". However, I don't even remember how I got here, so just go get some Zappa and Residents and Primus and whatnot.
Schmendrick:
Do Make Say Think
Most Serene Republic
I love them, but let your ears be the judge
destructotroninator:
I'd recommend Facing New York. The following is their description of...themselves. "Rhodes-heavy punk-prog artpop that channels Zep, the Police, and Dismemberment Plan." Their debut full length is out soon too, so if you like, it's not that long a wait before you get even more goodness.

And the same guy was in Split Enz too, they still count as Kiwi bands tho ;)
As for more bands: Warren Zevon and Shihad [aka Pacifier] are also pretty good.
