well to be true i don't listen to MGMT

don't look for another comparison they're just unique ahaha :P

as far as Phoenix goes, I really like 1901 but I can't get into anything else by them.

 

I'm just starting to listen to Sea Wolf. The singing reminds me a lot of The Killers, but their sound is completely different, sort of indie-acousticish.

Here's a couple:

Nik Armstrong & The Thieves

IV Thieves

Cage the Elephant

Jacuzzi Boy

Free Energy

M83

 

or if you wanna dance, I highly recommend this song (awesome summer jam btw):

OR if you're into hip hop, check out Chiddy Bang or Wale

 

woop woop!

here is a band that i'm very very excited about. i dont think anybody else has mentioned them on this thread and if you have then *high five*. They are called The Big Pink and they're basically what you would call a Shoegazer band much like Silversun Pickups with alot of Smashing Pumpkins influence and even a bit of Pink Floyd in them. I've really only heard 2 songs but i'm hooked.

i feel like a dinosaur too :laugh3:

 

i know both of them and like both of them

 

don't worry i'm not gonna give up with them, their new album is amazing i heard the whole songs on youtube and in friday i'm going to Fnac to buy it hehehe :D

I even said in my first post, I don't care if it's a mainstream band. I think someone put "The Feeling" and that just sickens me really, but that's to do with peope's music tastes in general and not the thread.

 

That comment was actually referring to me wantint people to actually write a bit more than just the bands name, as I sort of saw it as being a reccomendation thread too, like "I just discovered this, you should listen to, this is why:" maybe even link to a particularly good song etc.

 

Nobody is going to check out a band on name alone, plus it doesn't really give any insight unless the person reading is completely familiar with the band.

 

The beatles, lol seriously. Just got sgt.pepper its amazing

 

Muse:P

 

:mean:

Matt Corby! To all you Australians you may remember him as being the 'pretty boy' on idol but it turns out he isn't like that at all. He just released a new EP from an independent label. He decided not to sign to Sony bmg and I am SO freaking happy. Listen to it people! it's called 'Song For...' It's a four song EP.

Natalia Lafourcade.

I re-discovered Placebo! Love their new cd!

 

And mando diao :heart:
