Music: Get out of your groove

[IMJack]

Music poll with a twist:

What band or musical act have you "found" or "discovered" most recently? What was the last fairly new band you liked?

Bonus points if it's a local act or a band nobody else has heard of. Put up a link if they have one.

[Little Faith]

A pretty underground mostly instrumental hip-hop act from britan called:

Techno Animal.


Though the music is pure hip-hop the resulting soundscapes are almost industrialesque.


The music is music is extremely aggressive but still manages to be it in a mellow way. It really has this claustrophobic and paranoid feeling to it that makes it perfect background music for dooming.




Sixteen Horsepower is a cult band from the USA that plays what I would characterize as a bluegrass/punk crossover using rock instruments as well as fiddles and banjos. The result is an eerie, nasty, rattling clod of dirty midwestern folk/rock with buckets of bad attitude.

Their lyrical universe is equally absurd seemlessly blending riotous punk sentiment with old-school midwest christianity.

You might not agree with them, but their fire 'n brimstone rock is completely irresistable.

[AndrewB]

P.D.Q. Bach. Classical English Operas that tell a story.

[Fredrik]

Spyro Gyra. Tangerine Dream (thanks to Lüt). Those are the two most recent.

[Draconio]

A lot of the stuff I listen to comes from The Mod Archive, there is much unusual to be found there.

I like to put some of those songs into my wads sometimes

[Doom-Child]

I haven't tried to find a new band ever since I found the musical goodness that is Led Zeppelin. Call me musically self-sequestered, but I never get tired of it.

DC

[Sephiroth]

rock
metal
some jazz
some classical
very little rap(not any gang style)

i also dislike rap/metal, rock/rap, metal/pop. i think it is difficult to get a good sound

[gatewatcher]

I've been listening to Bad Religion lately, even though I'm not really into punk. But, whatever, they're pretty good.

[JavaGuy]

It's not that I didn't think they were good before, but I've been listening to a Red Hot Chili Peppers CD that my friend gave me and I'm deeply obsessed.

[Psyonisis]

A lot of music sucks nowadays... it used to be where lots of bands could blow you away the very first time you hear them. Personally, the newest stuff I listen to was made around 1999.

[Lord FlatHead]

Frank Zappa. The guy's a genius.

[mmnpsrsoskl]

Heh.

Blood Duster

Even though i've heard of them before, i've only heard one song from them but now I have heard a lot more and like them very much.

They are a Death Metal band from Australia, and have some very offensive title for their songs. Heh.

One song that I heard (the first song of theirs I heard) is called pornstorestiffi, and yeah it's good.

Another band I recently got into was Dream Theater. I must say they are an awesome band. Very deep and meaningful. I guess. I only bought their album, shit, can't remember the name. Hold on..........it's called Images and Words. haven't listened to it yet, but will now. Yeah.

[Captain Red]

I donno. any thing that sounds good.

[Disorder]

Queens of the Stone Age.
Do me a favor and download You think I aint worth a dollar but I feel like a millionaire. It's from the new album, called Songs for the deaf. Every single song I downloaded from the new album is absolutely lovable. I'm gonna buy the whole album when it comes out in Europe..

[DooMBoy]

For some reason, I've been particularly fascinated with TOOL as of late.

Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity
Calculate what we will or will not tolerate
Desparate to control all and everything
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen

"The Grudge"

And this song in particular has struck my fancy.

[Vampirajay]

A band called Squid. They are from the uk and they sound like a cross between marilyn manson and stabbing westward

[InfraRed]

my friend got me hooked on mindless self indulgence...i dunno, it may sound a bit, meh, at first, but it really grew on me.

[Naked Snake]

Rammstein, Funker Vogt, thanks to Skippy and Kat.

[fraggle]

Geert Bevin

Heh, that's pretty 1337.

Crappy singer. Music's a bit like Pearl Jam though.

[Wobbo]

Skinny puppy, Organized Konfusion ( i had known about pharoe monche but i didnt know he was in a group before he went solo, now i fell like a dumbass for missing three classic albums) Truth hurts

Raylon locally

They actually have a song called "Knee Deep in Menstrual Blood" - an obvious Doom reference.

[Use]

I have a cd by Soilent Green coming in. I downloaded one song off the net...loud but interesting.

Also been listening to some Melvins lately. Very awesome band. InfraRed mentioned Mindless Self Indulgence, a group i didn't care for either, but i picked up 'Tight' and it's a good album.

btw fredrik, your avatar scares the fuck outta me.

[Insomniak]

Danarchy got me into KMFDM

[DesertEagle]

One of my friends is hopelessly addicted to KMFDM (Kein Mitleid Fur Die Merheit, right? Which should translate to 'No Mercy For The Majority')...

Ever since we got digital cable, I found a channel filled with German drinking songs and polka til either Oct. 3 or 13...

[CyRaptor]

Best unknown band ever = The Marvelous 3

The lot of you probably wouldn't like them though. For shame.

No Pity For The Majority

[TheHighestTree]

-RJD2- probably doesn't mean anything to most of you

-The Avalanches - Have some pretty good songs

-El-P - Also has some really good songs

-Ram Trilogy - Perfect music for the freaked out (I.E., running from cops, etc...)
