Because (some) indie people are so far up their own arses that they ignore anything more 5 people know about, often to their own detriment.

I find it so funny that Indie is following in the footsteps of Black Metal.

another danish artist that wasn´t mentioned by my fellow dane Praeserpium Machinarum would be Tim Christensen. Pretty mainstream around here but i don´t think alot of peolple in other countries have heard of him. Great pop/classic rock n´ roll. best thing that has come out of denmark along with Kashmir in my opinion.

Dresden Dolls.

I haven't heard them mentioned enough and I absolutely love them.
So what if its Tori Amos with a darker past and pent up anger, you can tell there is pure emotion coming from that duo.

<3

one of the most fantabulous bands i've seen live. and, please, leave tori amos out of this...

I have to rep a band that went to my high school - Frodus. Nerdy post-punk spazcore with plenty of screaming and bizarre lyrics about fictional corporations taking over the world. They're no longer around, but you can get their discs online, in some pretentious record store, or if you're so inclined, you can probably find some tracks on P2P networks. Two members later started Decahedron, which is pretty similar both musically and lyrically.

RE:stereophonics

they are both underated and overated. people either like them for the wrong reasons or hate them form the wrong reasons. much like travis their musical ability is both overestimated and underestimated. neither are particularly groundbreaking, but both produce good *songs*.

imo beer etc.

betteroffdead · « **Reply #59 on:** 17 Apr 2005, 19:54 »

hooray for whoever mentioned the dresden dolls! (didn't get around to reading the whole thread). i love them. it'd be so cool to see them live.

the raincoats. soo awesome! but not enough people listen to them! (too weird i guess). whatever- i like eccentric 70s chick bands with violins

also, i think more people need to hear the wonderfulness of breaker! breaker! (http://www.breakerbreaker.org). o and harvey danger, because they have some of the most beautiful lyrics i've ever heard (i know they're not very "indie" since they had a relativelly popular single, but it surprises me that a very small amount of people are really into them).

I've not seen anyone else here mention the Fire Show here. They're probably the only neo post-punk band I've ever really gotten into, well they're one of my favorite bands ever. You can download their whole catalogue free and legally at:
http://www.resplendentmusic.com/releases.html , just cause their singer is a nice person.

Oh, hell yes. The Fire Show are amazing. It’s a damn shame they ended when they did. Their debut was great, and then every subsequent release flung their horizons wider.

Their version of "You Are My Sunshine" is just devastating. (It's on the third album from the right in El Opium's link, for anyone who wants to check it out.)

Reflector - Kansas Emo. I know you're thinking emo=bad, but they're closer to Braid and Fugazi then what passes as emo now.

Hopesfall - I haven't seen them mentioned much on this forum. Satellite Years is spacy Hardcore, close to HUM then metal. Their new album, A-types, is awful though.

Bellini - Proggy noisey music. It has Damon Che of Don Caballero fame as the drummer.

Edit: I should probably also mention Financial Panther, Before Braille, and Bullyrag A.K.A. Fucking Thunder.

Clearly most people have heard of 65daysofstatic. This is excellant. It is fair to say that they are my favourite band, and while they remain in this position, I will whore them with much enthusiasm. (Not my favourite artist, that changes all the time. Just favourite band)
Those who still be hating, cease. They rule.

Some may say my choice was poor, given that loads of people already know them. I think not. Clearly, my tactical nomination has won the thread.

You may now continue, pitifully striving for that silver medal.

i actually got the raincoats reunion lp the other day. i wasn't too into it though, so i gave it to a friend who loves em. i like the other stuff more i guess.

and envy is really really good. my friend danielle got the luxury of driving them around and seeing them for 14 nights in a row. needless to say i was jealous.

HUM: I've only heard like three people I don't know mention them and Downward is Heavenward is probably my favorite albulm ever and in my opinion were way ahead of their time.

Katatonia: Though this band has gone through significant changes over the years they are still one of my top five. If you want dark, gloomy music to slit your wrists to, check out "Brave Murder Day" or "Discouraged Ones". If you like progressive rock with catchy riffs and uniquely awesome vocals anything from "Tonights Music" to "Last Fair Deal Gone Down" to "Viva Emptiness" will rock your socks

Blue Oyster Cult: because kids don't respect the classics.

Balzac: Japanese Horror Punk

Avrigus: Epic Doom Metal with beautiful vocals

Pig Destroyer: Grindcore that will warp your soul.

Vision of Disorder: Imprint albulm is one of the most aggressive albulms I've ever heard.

*sorry, I've not gotten into too much indie music "yet", I've heard some that I like, but I don't own any of there cd's, besides maybe an Interpol cd*

Robbo · « **Reply #73 on:** 18 Apr 2005, 12:52 »

Old Katatonia >>>>>>>>>> New Katatonia. Check out the October Tide side project to see a nice new take on it. Also the first album, Rain Without End was the last recording where Jonas used Death/Doom vocals.

Pig Destroyer are one of the must beautiful and talented Grindcore bands ever. The peotic lyrics are so dark, it's just amazing.

But certainly both bands have enough of a following in the underground ground.

mattkills · « **Reply #74 on:** 18 Apr 2005, 14:03 »

i don't even think pig destroyer can be called grind anymore. not since explosions in ward 6, or maybe the split with gnob.... it's too much carcass worship now. not that that is a bad thing at all, but whatever. and terrifiyer was not as good as i was hoping... i mean, it's good, but no where near a "death metal epic."

i'd reccommend 324, birdflesh, sewn shut, and avulsion if you are a fan of grind and need a fix.

Yes, HUM is awsome and DiH is beautiful.

And they were well ahead of their time; you'd be surprised by how many bands list them as an influence, Deftones, Evergreen Terrace, Hopesfall, and many more of the newer hxc bands.

If you like DiH check out Hopesfall's Satellite Years. It was recorded with Matt Talbot at his recording studio Great Western Record Recorders.

Just to make this relevant.

Glifted - Tim Lash's post-HUM project.
The Rise - Industrial/hardcore type band.

Seriously check this stuff out, he also does hip hop production and lyrics, but I pause to mention that here, as this hold no resemblance. Lovely and pastoral and at times unsettling. Good folk with keen production, nuff said. If you read this thread Jeph, I think this might be up your alley.

No, Pride & Glory was Zakk's one time Sludge/Southern Rock band that released a self titled in 1994 then split.
Zakk released a solo album (also Sludge/Souther stuff) in 95, called Book of Shadows. That project is dead as well.
Black Label Society was formed in 98 I think and it's his current project.

Just in general, Cryptic Wintermoon. I hardly ever see them mentioned anywhere, even on metal forums. One of my friends has made it his mission to collect the whole dicographies of every melodic death metal band ever, and among all the cliche and general drudge he occasionally turns up something sparkling, and Cryptic Wintermoon is definitely such a jewel. Very virtuous technical MDM with a cutting edge of symphonic black metal, mixing atmosphere and brutality in a barrage of ripping solos and tight, fast drumming.

'Supersatan' is probably one of my favourite songs ever.

I wish more people had heard of Jim Thirlwell (Foetus, Steriod Maximus, Maonrexia, et. al).

As a composer and arranger, the versatility and depth of his skill is near-unrivaled. Picking over his Foetus albums alone, one can find surf-rock ("Satan Place"), gospel ("Haus on Fah"), big-band swing ("Slung"), filthy blues ("Bedrock"), industrial ("Verklemmt"), cabaret ("Cirrhosis of the Heart"), symphonies ("Overture from Pigdom Come") among countless other genres. He doesn’t just ape genre conventions—he’s skilled enough to remake his own image convincingly in each.

And aside from his musical skills, he's got a gift with lyrics, spinning webs of inverted phrases, deft wordplay, and a pitch-black sense of humor. (Though the latter means that many folks will probably shy away from the tongue-in-cheek revelries of murder, sex, and hate.)

If you watch The Venture Brothers, you've heard his work—the show's creators were wise enough to enlist Jim's skills as a composer. Pay attention to the music if you're able to.
