Recommended Bands and Artists?
Well, I've just grown sick of my entire music library these past few days, so I really need new bands and artists to look into. No idea how or why, but it's proving very sad when I feel sick to turn on my iPod. I'm just asking around my friends and that right now to see what I can find. Then I thought it would make a good thread. So...yeah. :|
|
It might come in handy for me with suggesting anything if you at least specified which artists/genres make you so sick at the moment.
|
Here's what I've been into lately. Some of these you may very well know, but I'm throwing them on here just in case.
Deerhoof They Might Be Giants Genghis Tron Cream Abdul Babar Dr. John Canned Heat w/ John Lee Hooker Gnarls Barkley Buzz***** Tom Waits Horse the Band Boris |

Oh, man. Okay.
Deer Tick "Deer Tick's music has often been described as a combination of folk, blues, and country with a strong grunge influence. McCauley is known for his distinct gruff-sounding voice." Jonathan Coulton "A former computer programmer and self-described geek, Coulton tends to write quirky, witty, fanciful lyrics about a variety of topics such as science fiction and technology: a man who thinks in simian terms, a mad scientist who falls in love with one of his captives, and the dangers of bacteria. He does not often write topical songs, but he did release a song titled "W's Duty", which sampled President George W. Bush, in 2005 and another called "Tom Cruise Crazy" in 2006. Most of Coulton's songs feature Coulton's vocals accompanied by guitar, bass, and drums, though often feature the various other instruments Coulton plays, including accordion, harmonica, mandolin, banjo, ukulele, or glockenspiel." (Pisses excellence, basically.) Rilo Kiley Indie rock fronted by former child actors Jenny Lewis and Blake Sennett. It really doesn't get much better than them. Flight of the Conchords "Flight of the Conchords is a Grammy Award-winning New Zealand comedy duo composed of Bret McKenzie and Jemaine Clement. Billing themselves as "Formerly New Zealand's fourth most popular guitar-based digi-bongo acapella-rap-funk-comedy folk duo" , the group uses a combination of witty observation, characterization and acoustic folk guitars to work the audience." Pavement 90s indie rock. Kicked ass without a major label. Silver Jews Sort of a Pavement side-project. "Sardonic, countrified indie rock." Adam Green F*cking insane and f*cking awesome. Nothing else can be said. Everything seen here can be found at your local Pirate Bay! |
Toxic, you and I could get along well, I think. First I find out you're a Bukowski fan and now I see that our tastes in music are almost parallel. :D
I'll back you up with your list, especially: The Germs Dystopia Choking Victim Electric Wizard The Melvins Big Business (A good place to start with these last two would be the album "Nude with Boots" which just came out and features both of the guys from Big Business with founding Melvins members King Buzzo and Dale Crover.) And speaking of Mr. Tom Waits - have you seen the movie Wristcutters? It's got Tom in what, I think, might just be the largest supporting role of his acting career. |
Recommending stuff is hard if you don't know the tastes of the person your recommending for. When you don't you just end up listing off what you listen to.
Death Metal At The Gates Carcass Construcdead Devildriver Diabolical Dimension Zero The Haunted Nightrage Black Metal Cradle Of Filth Dimmu Borgir Norther Melodic Metal Arch Enemy Dark Tranquillity In Flames Speed Metal Children Of Bodom Soilwork Classic Metal Iron Maiden Megadeth Slayer Testament Therion Punk Rock Kylahullut No Fun At All Electronic Fischerspooner Pitchshifter Rob/White Zombie That's just stuff I listen to I labeled it so you could see if you'd even want to try it out. I marked my 3 favorite bands. |
dont want to derail but norther certainly isnt black metal.
if you want black metal try emperor, dark funeral, naglfar, gorgoroth, mayhem, immortal, graveland, darkthrone or any other band that stands around in halloween costumes and shrieks about the devil. |
I always just look at Norther as a black metal version of Children Of Bodom. I didn't want to call them Death Metal I just don't see them as that.
But yeah Halloween costumes and Kiss make-up normally are black metal essentials haha. |

Also, I recommend listening to videogame music. It's great to listen to when you're tired of traditional stuff. |

And I think Ra should pick up jazz. |
Apollo Up!
http://myspace.com/apolloup This band is awesome. I heard just a couple of songs and was hooked. Just some simple rifftastic rock. They're kinda like Rocket from the Crypt (without the horns) and they're described as 'Elvis Costello being manhandled by Hot Snakes'. |

Basically, here's what that list should have looked like: Death Metal Death Atheist Cynic Nunslaughter Impaled Exhumed Splatterhouse Suffocation Morbid Angel Frightmare Stargazer Unleashed Gorguts Death Breath Melodic Death Metal Carcass (Necroticism through Swansong) At The Gates (Early) In Flames Grindcore/goregrind/etc. Carcass (Reek Of Putrefaction and Symphonies Of Sickness) Impetigo Blood Freak Terrorizer Repulsion Napalm Death Pig Destroyer Black Metal Burzum Mayhem Darkthrone (except Soulside Journey and the two new albums) Immortal Emperor Graveland Abigor Limbonic Art Striborg Xasthur Leviathan Bleak Grand Belial's Key Mütiilation Peste Noire Isengard Absurd Enslaved Blackened Thrash Metal Destroyer 666 Gospel Of The Horns Bathory (up through The Return...) Vomitor Toxic Holocaust Thrash Metal Megadeth Slayer (crap band, but I'm keeping them here for definition) Testament Anthrax Exodus Tankard Coroner Sodom Kreator EvilDead Detente Nuclear Assault Incubus Ghoul (deathrash really, but whatever) Heathen Annihilator Holy Moses Vio-Lence Overkill Rigor Mortis Dark Angel Razor Speed Metal This isn't really even a genre any more. Speed metal is basically a generic term to describe proto-thrash. Anyway, it was kind of bands like: Motorhead Venom NWOBHM Iron Maiden Judas Priest Diamond Head Angel Witch Blitzkrieg Sorry to be kind of harsh and completely dissect your list. But I do it for accuracy's sake, and plus, now there are even more recommendations for people to check out. @CrazyCowboyDion: I haven't seen Wristcutters yet but I've been dying to, a few of my friends have seen it and are saying great things about it. I really want to, because a) Tom Waits, and b) one of the main characters was completely inspired by Eugene Hutz from Gogol Bordello. The storyline sounds really interesting, too. Are you going to be seeing the Melvins and Big Business when they tour later this summer? They'll be in Cleveland on August 6 so I'll be there. I saw them back in October and it was absolutely the best show I've ever been to, although I'd have to say it's tied with the Heaven And Hell/Black Sabbath and Megadeth show last May. |
Here is a group that I have stumbled across that are really good and up and coming! Let me know what you think!
They are called "Remember Us Always" they play metal. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm...endID=37489358 |

viking themed progressive-folk-nu-melodic-post-modern-thrash-blackened-symphonic-national socialist-grind-doomcore is the best genre.

Umm, how about VAST for some melodic alternative rock, Iris for electronica/powerpop, or Julien-K for some kick-ass dark electronic pop? I love all these bands. |
Here's one artist I recommend, http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../Tonyrocks.jpg Tony Lucca! He got his start in 1991 when he did The Mickey Mouse Club. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...eThanWords.jpg Yes, that's JC of N*Sync. Here they performed "More Than Words" better than Extreme! After MMC ended in 1995, the following year, Tony was on the short lived NBC drama "Malibu Shores". After that, he concentrated on doing his music. He has 5 albums to his belt. He's doing a summer tour right now, I'm going to see him in Dallas. For more info, check out his website, MySpace & YouTube pages. Here's a performance of Tony singing "Death of Me". He also plays my favorite electric guitar! Here's another Tony Lucca performance. "I Can, I Will, I Do." And a third, "Time & Time Again" |
Jonny the Cockaroo I can't help myself. |
These couple of bands are not new, were around back in the 90's, but I always thought they were a rare treat sadly overlooked by the mass.
Shakespear's Sister http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=_eXw47qb4U0 and The Cocteau Twins http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4mUmdR69nbM Like I said, not new, but they are different. |
