Favorite new discovery
 

We can use this thread to post new bands we've just discovered that we want to share with everyone. I'll start with The Gaslight Anthem. Check them out at their website or on myspace

Underground rap.

M83

My sister-in-law told me about this French group.

One of my friends told me to check out a band called Mute Math. Good Alternative rock/electronic stuff.

Yngwie J. Malmsteen: For a couple years now I've been hearing his name, mostly in interviews with metal guitarists where he's listed as an influence, so I finally got some albums.

The guy can play a guitar like nobody's business. I haven't been so enthralled by a guitarist since Buckethead.

All mine tend to be sort of 'general rock' as that's the main stuff I listen to and I don't really like any kinda of metal (with the odd exception) or indie.

The Night Marchers - John Reis' new project involving a few members of Hot Snakes. Goes for a bit of the old rock 'n' roll style (Bo Diddley, Status Quo) mixed with the new.

Apollo Up! - excellent three-piece from Nashville. Singer sounds a bit like John Reis of Rocket from the Crypt/Hot Snakes/Night Marchers fame and their songs are full of awesome little riffs and memorable hooks.

Faraquet - three-piece, sort of reminds me of Rx Bandits with the stop-start changing of time signature and stuff.

STEVE FROM BLUE'S CLUES

WHY IS HE SO GOOD

MY HEAD EXPLODED

Lupe Fiasco.

Deadmau5

Great techno/dance outfit from Toronto.

There was a time when I was majorly into The Flaming Lips, and I heard they were friends with him, so that was when I first learned he was a music artist.

My lastest discovery is a St. Paul underground rap group with punk influences called Doomtree. My friend found them through one of his teachers at music school. They're just starting to break into the national scene, I think.

The last music video I shot was for this small town band called "Remember Us Always" (or RUA for short) Good Indy Metal!

The next music video I am shooting is for another small town band I found called "Blind Eye Era" Really good industrial metal techno.

Captain Dan and the Scurvy Crew. HOLY CRAP PIRATE HIP-HOP IS AWESOME! CAPS LOCK!

I think it's always very fun to discover "new" music.

Afro Celt Sound System

I was introduced by both my cousin's love of the group, and one of their songs being on my walking music.

When you're Falling - featuring Peter Gabriel

The Afro Celt Sound System was formed in 1995 as a collaborative effort between traditional African and Celtic musicians and several respected figures from the UK music scene. They mix a TON of different instruments together, along with tribal rhythms. There's even a little middle eastern music to it...

I love world music, especially Celtic (Leahy, just discovered a little B-Tribe), so I would definitely recommend listening to this.

Nothing really.. im mostly into old grunge and punk and some more mellow stuff like five for fighting

other then a few bands i picked up like von bodies and five for fighting a few years back ive just been listening to same stuff for literally 15 years

The Black Lips and Ha Ha Tonka are oretty awesome.

I've also fallen in love with Brody Dalle's new project, Spinnerette.

Parlotones and Goldfish.

Gloriana. They're a fairly new country group. They were formed like a year ago and are only now becoming super popular on the radio and CMT. They haven't released an album yet but they're about to go on tour with Taylor Swift and Kellie Pickler. I'd LOVE to see em in concert...They'll be in Seattle in May! :D
