blindside--but not their new corp shit--i mean the old skool stuff
their self titled and a thought crushed my mind--the guys voice is crazy living sacrifice--broke up after drummer sold out to be with evanescence--wierd he went from death metal to corp rock |
Rock bands:
white cowbell oklahoma- southern/blues boogie with a hard rockin sound. Illuminati/Tricky Woo with more skynyrd. Bionic- Montreal based stoner rock. Very cool. Puddy- Toronto based bass/guitar stoner rock duo. The Unicorns- wacky indie rock Cuff the Duke- country ish upbeat rock. The Great Lake Swimmers- folk rock The Burdocks- fun good rock with a new wave/indie edge Les Savy Fav- Very strange hard jazz punk Death From Above- heavy almost stoner rock, toronto based Protest the Hero- political punk rock/post hardcore. Good guys too. Toured with raised fist, closet monster Postage Stamps- melodic emo/indie The Mark Inside- Saviours of rock! Hardcore/Metal Bands: Seven Angles Seven Plagues- Melodic hardcore As the sun sets- spastic pig destroyer-esque hardcore Psyopus- insane jazza rooted mathcore Spastic Ink- Insanely technical metal Floorpunch- old school west coast hardcore Kayo Dot- Melodic death with horns and jazz breaks (formerly Maudlin of the Well) The Mist and the Morning Dew- Swedish death metal, chick singer, violin Isis- im surprised by how few people know this band. it's like dreamy ambient music, like mogwai or sigur ros, but heavy. very visual stuff. Anonymus- "poppy" hardcore. it's hardcore, but it wraps it up it a neat little package. Agalloch- (oregon?) based death metal. North America's Answer to Opeth. |
Most of these have an indescribable sound, so I'll just list them:
Autechre Amon Tobin Astral Projection (technical dance) ArmsBendBack (pseudo hardcore) Bexarametric (IDM) Boards of Canada (IDM) the Future Sound of London Hooverphonic (trip hop) In Reverent Fear Ion Dissonance (mega metalcore) mod flanders conspiracy (fucked up weirdo core) Paul van Dyk (technical dance/trance) Phonem Solvent Tosca Venetian Snares (not even going to try...) |
The Rentals - Wonderful, I think they've only got the two albums out, but both are spectaular. Lots of moog, makes me want to dance. Check 'em out.
|
Kyuss - The innovators of the "stoner-rock" movement (which spawned other bands like Monster Magnet, Clutch, and more recently Queens of the Stone Age, which has former Kyuss members in it).
Songs I recommend: Asteroid, 50 Million Year Trip, Demon Cleaner, Catamaran. |

And now to add my own....
Lacuna Coil, although they are becoming a lot more well known now. The Gathering Tapping the Vein (I've got a thing about metal female singers lately) Candlemass - waiting to see them live then I can die happy. Genitorturers - mmmmmmmmm, S&M Metal, been front row center to ?7? of their shows. Venom - the original Black Metal band, another I am dying to see live. |
Pop(?):
The Divine Comedy Synthpop/EBM: S.P.O.C.K Informatik Evil's Toy Beborn Beton Icon of Coil Elektrowerkz Covenant DAF Terminal Choice Second Decay |
Goat Whore.
|
these guys might be pretty well known, i'm not sure (i've only ever met one person who heard of them and they're the one that introduced me to them) but i like the starlight mints.
|
local legends:
Abalienation Yolk slightly more popular: Hickey the bananas this bike is a pipe bomb matty pop chart the dauntless elite schlong i farm |
ill second the kyuss, venetian snares and amon tobin reccomendations, though theyre pretty well known to anyone interested in their respective genres, i thought
heres my 2 cents: pelican (doom metal with a beautiful melodic flavor) 5ive (tool to the nth degree) bogdan racynzski, hravatski (awesome drill n bass) bonobo (epitome of chillout downbeat) deerhoof, hella, lightning bolt: spastic, loud.. fun explosions in the sky: beautiful, striking, touching post-rock fatso jetson: kyuss: queens of the stone age what fatso jetson:kyuss naked city: napam death meets john coltrane... fans of fantomas will cream for this quasimoto, madvillian: madlib is a hiphop genius king geedorah, viktor vaughn, mf doom: as is mf doom m83: moving keyboard ambient pop codeine, low: slow... pretty... touching... indie-rock european folk-punk: alamaailman vasarat, taraf da haidouks, gogol bordello nomeansno, pigment vehicle: the only punk bands other than DK that i can stand, punk with jazzy musicality spacemen3: a spacemen3 + opiates = life changing the bug: can only be described as hardcore dub xiu xiu: abrasive and strange, but very personal and moving at the same time... fans of things like modest mouse and pixies will appreciate them and the almighty melvins... godfathers of grunge, taking black sabbath and pushing it to the next logical level |
Ah, I second The Melvins, great band.
And yes, Kyuss is indeed very well known to people interested in stoner-rock, but there are lots of people out there who don't even know this genre exists (ie: me about two years ago). |

Cloud Nine is a pretty good group, comparable to a few bands I listen to, only "poppier" and more upbeat. The album is (I think) called Planes to Atlanta and the World.
|
Kompressor, I dont know how well known this is but Ive never heard of it from anyone before. Highly enjoyable synth and anger music. Pretty funny too.
"KOMPRESSOR sound is hard and angry, good words used for song and electronic." http://www.kompressormusic.com/ |
kompressor is pretty funny
theres that song about vitamins or something that cracks me up |
1. my sig- Electronic rock, sounds like an evolved linkin park.
2. Neutral Milk Hotel- Good indie music, very original. Oh, and edit to add a few I found on the first page- Indexcase (Great live), Frank Black, and Apex Theory, who were on the verge of hitting it big with their last album. I saw them with Linkin Park and I must say that their performance was better. Oh, And Hed Pe's Broke album is worth a look. |
I'd like to add the band Eleven to this list. Extremely underrated and underplayed. Great fucking stuff.

papa m - guitarist from slint, tortoise and zwan does folky post-rock
|
hmm... the only one i can think of is Bérénice. this girl from france. very popular there! great stuff but nobody know's about her here... it's english music like hilary duff or michelle branch.(i know i'm a guy and i like it.. who cares!) check it out. best song is probably "I'm proud" enjoy! let me know if you like it.
|
Opeth, Emperor... Devin Townsend..
|
hmm don't know if these bands are well known or not but here goes...
the new pornographers athenauem mars electric marvelous 3/butch walker collapsis dezeray's hammer electrasy the new pornographers are pop-rock, the rest are mostly straight up rock... |

Things mentioned... -
Modest Mouse - awesome indie rock, can't recommend them enough. I'd get The Moon and Antarctica to start, i think its their best album. The Mars Volta - torn lace summed it up... fast and loud. With some jazz fusion in there too. The Shins - happy music, not happy lyrics, awesome nonetheless. Mentioned in passing... At the Drive-In - Group who broke up into The Mars Volta and Sparta, punk-prog sound |
Nightwish
Gothic//operatic Rock, musically solid, I love the guitar work, but what really sells it for me is the lead singer. I love good female singers, and IMHO, she's one of the best. Rustcycle Techno with guitars. I don't really know how to classify him, but it's damn good. Android Lust I'm sure that somebody could tell me what catagory she fits into, but I don't know it. I guess it's a kind of electronica, but beyond that.... anyway, to quote myself, it's damn good. |

Here are some great and semi popular bands, meaning you could actually find their CD's in stores Blonde Redhead Clinic British Sea Power Sigur Ros Godspeed You Black Emperor! Mum |

"Vitamins are Good" is the best. |

For the Modust Mouse reccomenders: They're geting tons of playtime in Dallas/Fort Worth on 102.1 - the most popular "alternative" station. THe band "Dispatch" may be more popular in other parts of the the U.S., but around here noones heard of them. They'd have to be my reccomendation. |
