I have an obsession with British bands as you can see, and I love discovering more and more bands. I used to listen to this AMAZING radio-station on Live365.com that was simply called 'New British Invasion', it had the BEST music EVER but sadly, it closed down three months ago :cry:

Through that radio I got to discover a lot of artists I really like at the moment (more like discover them PROPERLY): Stereophonics (who soon became my 2nd favourite band - after Travis and Coldplay), Doves, Bush, Ash, Blur, Manic Street Preachers, Oasis, Reef, Suede... you get what I mean, right? "the best of the best".

 

After this station closed I was gutted cos there was no way to "discover more bands" anymore :rolleyes: :lol:

But recently I've gotten into Idlewild, Haven and the Coral - all three are fantastic from what I've heard. Don't you just love this feeling of finding a new fantastic band to like? :D

 

Maybe it's just me.

i love discovering new british and portuguese acts... lately what comes from america its crap except jack johnson... :cool:

i love finding new bands and little unknown bands that's why i always go to little venues with little gigs on :cool: and i see some really good unknown bands that are from dublin :P

i liked interpol and bought their cd before anyone really knew of them the walkmen too i love hearing new bands its one of my obsessions

i love discovering new talent

oh, and new bands are cool too

:dozey: :stunned:

 

yeah ive been to some real dive ass shiteholes to peep the latest groovers, mostly it doesnt pay off, i discover new stuff through ubercool elitist underground hype networks and random searching on google and various holier than though snob websites

 

my methods are unorthadox

but effective

 

I know bands that are soo cool

that they broke up before their first single

b/c they knew the world wasnt ready for them yet

 

:dozey:

 

i'm such a wise arse

:o :rolleyes:

does anyone know exit??? my brothers best mate is the bassist and they are doing pretty good in america :o :cool:

exit

 

yes

 

i see them above doors a lot

 

:dozey:

 

no sorry hun, my sources have confirmed we here at P HQ have not heard of :/

oops sorry the name is exit4 check out the site although it hasn't been updated yet that richie is actually the new bass player :rolleyes: http://www.exit4.net

most of the bands i like today i would've never heard of if it wasn't for this message board. i'm SO happy that i found this place and all these amazing bands. and oh man i wish i would've known of that radio station! all i listen to is british music :/

i used to just listen to british music only i listen to other stuff too but lol contradicting myself here..i just recently got into the clash theyre great

Totally agree with Jessica!!

I'll be grateful forever for discover Turin Brakes here...

Go, TB, go!!! :D

yea same here! i don't know what i'd do without them :D

We would be ignorant girls!! :D

yes we would :P

i'm still an ignorant girl...

'Cause you don't know Turin Brakes!!!

Run to buy Ether song!! :smug:

I love just going down to the record store and taking chances on new artists. Sure, some of it might be crap, but most of it is really interesting. That's how I found out about Nada Surf, Interpol and Rooney.
