I’ve sort of hit a wall with finding new music to listen too and was wondering if anybody could recommend a Band/Artist & a (good) song by them in order that I can listen to the song and see if I like the band (– hopefully the song is a good representation of their music).

I know that this question has probably been asked (too) many times but, I listen to completely different music to all of my friends so unless I ask on the internet I am a little stuck on what to listen too next.

Thanks…

I tend to agree with most of these reviews, and these are mostly bands that aren't very well known, so have look around. I love this site.

I am the original poster (sebastianinsua).
Sorry I didn't reply earlier, but I changed my username, had exams, posted the same question on multiple boards, and generally wasted my time.

Thanks for all of the recommendations (I have such a backlog now all of the bands shall have probably splitup before I listen to all of them)...

Anywayz Thanks again...

I second Bettie Serveert, she's great!

Sorry greg, I couldn't help myself.

I've got Wide Eyed Fools from their last album, Log 22 in my head. I would recommend something from the new album, but I haven't got my copy yet.

Or try 0+2=1 by NoMeansNo
greg Posted - 10/28/2004 : 18:07:22
Bettie Serveert.
Check out the web site: www.bettieserveert.com
It has little clips of their new album Attagirl.
They are reeeeeaaaaly good!

modest mouse - well, anything by them! but the new one 'good news for people who like bad news' (i think i got that right!) is a good enough starting point! and it's new...


The Monkey Helper has arrived http://www.monkeyhelper.co.uk (that is my band)
WolfManMikeLonely Posted - 10/28/2004 : 15:55:59
Yeah definately check out the new mclusky album "the difference between me and you is i'm not on fire" but "do dallas" is probably a better album to listen to first, more user friendly perhaps.

Okay, here goes:

The Unicorns: Who Will Cut our Hair when You're gone?
The New Pornographers: Either Mass Romantic or Electric Version
The Fiery Furnaces: Blueberry Boat (This one took ages to get into, but now it is so worth the effort)

I know these have all been mentioned, but I just second those motions.

Oh, and also check out Erase Errata. I've been listening to them a bit lately, really catchy stuff.

There's a few good British albums from this year:

Hope Of The States - The Lost Riots
Franz Ferdinand - s/t
The Golden Virgins - Songs Of Praise

And also: 50 Foot Wave. You would be a fool to not get this.

80s Matchbox B-line Disaster - Horse of the Dog is the only one that springs to mind at the moment. What have you liked recently?

And that's okay Coldheart, I've just lost a lot of respect for you. Respect that will take years to earn back. Good luck with the bank account thing.
speedy_m Posted - 10/28/2004 : 13:04:39
Oh, and by the way Evil Feller, I was listing album titles, not specific songs. Dean too. But they're all good ALBUMS. So check 'em out.

Earlimart, if that's your bag.

To be honest, this is the first I've heard of them.

I agree with most of what Mike recommends, except that while I enjoy Blueberry Boat intellectually, it doesn't really move me. If that makes sense. Also, fie on the Constantines.

Interpol's new record I've been listening to at work on repeat since 8 this AM. I don't know if I could say it's better than Turn on the Bright Lights. Nor different. TOBL has NYC after all...

And speaking of Royal City, Jim Guthrie (sometimes RC member)'s new ablum "Now, More Than Ever" is also great. Really great. Check it out. Three Gut Records is just all around wonderfull. I'll have to check out Cuff the Duke when the come here, I hear good things. You like 'em, Coldheart?
speedy_m Posted - 10/28/2004 : 12:56:44
I've been spinning "Give Up" since back in the day. It all started with the Dntel song "This Is the Dream of Evan and Chan". I didn't much care for the rest of Life Is Full of Possiblities, but that song seemed... full of possibilities! That was the first collaboration between Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello. It was so good, they formed the Postal Service. Did you know they're re-releasing Give Up on vinyl with tons of extras? More here: http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/04-10/28.shtml#story3

I've been trying to get my hands on this damn album but everywhere I go they just have some damn single.


Also try out Royal City-Alone at the microphone...cool album... but a some to download would be You are the vine.. really great song.

And speedy, If you haven't already heard the Postal Service stuff I have a feeling you'd really like it.

I loved Turn On the Bright Lights, and so far I think Antics is better. Way better. What a great record.
Cheeseman1000 Posted - 10/28/2004 : 12:27:27
Is it good? I bought the first one just on a whim the other day, and I quite liked it.


"You ever seen a man say goodbye to a shoe?"

Coldheartofstone Posted - 10/28/2004 : 12:25:06
Interpol - Antics

Very good Album.
