Gimme some new rock!
Ok I'm now experiencing first hand the freshman at college phenomenon....new music is hard to get exposed to because I never listen to the radio. Sure all my friends share their music with me....but everyone has the same thing: jack johnson, ben folds, dave matthews, etc....I WANT ROCK!
So guys, give me some new rock bands to check out....they don't have to be new, just new to me....here's the sort of bands I'm looking for: Ra Revis Audioslave Disturbed Mesh Seether Shinedown Stereomud Trapt SOAD Thrice Metallica So basically anything on the spectrum...except I don't really like overly prog music like Dream Theater and Mars Volta Thanks! Any help appreciated! |

try the mars volta. and perhaps death from above 1979.
maybe a wee bit out of your tastes... but why not try something a bit new? recommended songs: "son et lumiere" and "interiatic esp" - the mars volta[listen to those consequtively] "roulette dares", "drunkenship of lanterns" - the mars volta "romantic rights", "go home, get down", "cold war" - death from above 1979 also try the josh homme remix of "black history month" enjoy

Mike Doughty's new-ish CD Haughty Melodic freaking rocks.
it takes all the good of his Soul Coughing work and puts a more mainstream, less beat/avontgard

Maybe try Clutch. They aren't exactly new, but maybe new to you Here's a link to their latest video.
http://video.download.com/3800-11167_53-8956.html I love the way this guy delivers the vocals. They lyrics don't really seem to make much sense, but his voice is so powerful it doesn't really matter. Last edited by samcol; 03-21-2006 at 07:25 PM.. |

I'm not too into this, but a few of my friends at college are. Here's a couple they play a lot and from the concert t-shirts they wear.
Foetus Boris - (the album 'pink') Opeth skeleton key sun kil moon my bloody valentine [might be a bit too soft for you, but give them a try] godspeed you black emperor that's all i can remember for now. Danko Jones - aren't they from cleveland or northeast Ohio ?! [I live there except for college] catcha back on the flipside, will.

He's looking for straightforward rock. He even specifically mentioned TMV as a kind of band he wasn't looking for and someone went ahead and recommended it anyway... Opeth and Godspeed are two bands that fit into the same category of stuff he's not looking for (as much as I like both bands, that's not what he wants).
Looks like there's a lot of "nu-metal" on your list there, so you might want to take a look at guccilvr's recommendations first. I'm sure you'll find most of those bands pretty suitable. Unfortunately, my area of expertise is in the exact kind of music you're trying to avoid, so I can't offer much myself. Here's a few that you might like in addition to the bands guccilvr brought up. Some newer, some older (and some you should probably be familiar with anyway, but what the hell): A Perfect Circle Alice in Chains Boy Sets Fire Deftones Dredg Kyuss Queens of the Stone Age Rage Against the Machine Sevendust Smashing Pumpkins Soundgarden Stone Temple Pilots Tool I'm sure you've heard of a lot of those (if not, move out of that cave), but they're all worth your time to check out. Everything on that list is pretty much straight up hard rock, with the exceptions of Tool and Dredg, who are both a little on the artsy side. Last edited by saut; 03-22-2006 at 09:55 PM.. |

i think the onion has spoken to this topic
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/31203 http://www.theonion.com/content/node/41242 oh, and i really like autolux. i will keep recommending them until someone actually listens to them, heh heh. they are more in the slowdive vein of rock, so perhaps not exactly to your specs. but they have some nice grooves and pleasant feedback jams. how about !!! or japanther...they are also cool. noisier dance-punk. |

SAUT has a great list up there. I'm sure you've heard most of those bands but out of the ones saut listed, I like Deftones and TOOL the best. I'm trying to think of some other bands you might like so give us some feedback on our recommendations and we can go from there.

I second the Danko Jones suggestion. If I was going to film Roadhouse 2 with Patrick Swayze showing Vin Diesel the ropes, I would cast Danko Jones as the house band.
