New Bands Thread

[binnie]

Ok guys, we're always bitchin' that new bands are a disapointment so here's an idea:

If you find a new band that realeases a decent album, put in here with a brief review of who/ what they sound like.

Don't matter what type/ style it is, if you dig it, then tell us about it.

That way, we might get to hear some decent music every once in a while.

Music is for sharing!

[binnie]

Here we go


Bullets & Octane "In the mouth of the young"

Rock n Roll like it should be played. Imagine early 80's sunset-strip bastardised with punk and kicked up the ass by Chuck Berry!

Great little player, big balls and lots of fuel.

As scuzzy as they come!

[binnie]

Band called Wolfmother just released an album.

Great rock n roll album, reminds me of late 60's garage rawk with a bit of the Sabbs and DC throne in.

Not gonna change your life, but worth a spin.

[binnie]

There was band called

Fight Paris


Who had an album out last year, sort of gutter punk rock.

Not for every one, but a great record if you can get into it.

This bands sounds like a bar fight! Hell yeah!

[The_KiD]

I have heard Wolfmother and it is interesting... I have the single from iTunes they are now playing.. I will check out the others

Binnie,

If you are in the mood for something different, give these bands a gander...They are not new by any means but some of my favs..

KiD

http://www.thetwilightsingers.com/
(this is Greg Dulli's (Afgan Whigs fame) current band. I just saw them at the 930 Club and they fookin rocked.. Dulli is a Badass)

http://www.socialdistortion.com/
(One of my favorite artist's Mike Ness. Their latest release Sex, Love, and Rock & Roll is bound to be a classic.)

http://www.blackrebelmotorcycleclub.com/
(These guys kick ass, they have been compared to the Jesus & Mary Chain but have much more depth.. Check out all three releases. The latest one is a folky rock (Which I like) but the first two are heavier)

KiD

[binnie]

Cheers Kid,


BRMC are a good band, remind me of the Jesus and Mary Chain...

I picked up Social Distortion, Sex.... on your recommendation and it is a killer record, I RECOMMNED EVERY GIVE IT A LISTEN

(I meant to PM about that to say thanks, but I'll say it here: thanks)

I will check out the twilightsingers, thanks for the link!

[The_KiD]

Binnie,

That is cool you like BRMC.. I have seen them twice in concert and they fucking rocked.. Also, I am glad you like the Social Distortion.. You should also pick up "Somewhere between Heaven & Hell".. Mike Ness can do no wrong in my book.. They are touring right now btw..

Since you are checking out the Twilight Singers, also check out the Afgan Whigs.. Start with "1965"... Dulli kicks ass..

Is it Beer thirty yet? What time is it in Scotland???

Here is pick of Mike Ness outta respect...


KiD

[binnie]

Cheers for the pic!

I live in England now (but no difference in time with Scotland).

It is 3.30 PM

The beer drinking started at 10 AM!

I like to make the most of the weekend.

I will check out Afghan Wings, thanks!

[binnie]

If anyone likes Stoner rock, check out a band called

Throwrag, who had an album out last year.


Great stoner album....

[binnie]

Cheers, I will do...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Men Women and Children-S/T

It's mixing rock and roll with an 80s pop feel. Entertaining to listen to, and fun live.

[binnie]

Never heard of that SP, but I'll give it a go....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Why thank you sir....

[mako_kimura]

Being a teen, I'm forever watching MTV and VH1 and all these new bands. Here's a few of my favorites:

1. Children Of Bodom (power metal+death metal vox)
2. Bullet For My Valentine (Thrash metal+plus hardcore vox)
3. Lacuna Coil (Evanescence with better guitars)
4. Arch Enemy (Upbeat death metal)
5. AFI (Darker pop-punk)


()=Sounds like

Just a note: I watch a lot of Headbanger's Ball

[Sugar-Dave]

Check Out Hurricane Party,, they've just changed heir name to Roadstar

[binnie]

Indeed, they are very promising, the vocals remind me of David Coverdale!

Not for everyone, but if you like really heavy, Arch Enemy and Children.... are where it's at.

Good call!

Hope you have a good one!

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I'm seeing Ol' Cov in Liverpool, he said he's gonna dig some older songs out as well-I believe he mentioned "Mistreated", which will be good. I hope he digs out my personal favourite 'Snake song, "Ain't Gonna Cry No More". Its just one of those songs that you go "Yes" when you finish writing it.


Special mention must go to

Porcupine Tree
Spock's Beard


They're not really "new", but they are both awesome and should be listened to by everyone.

Porcupine Tree sound like a few members of Pink Floyd joined Rush, and Spock's Beard once featured the genius that IS Neal Morse.

Check out these albums

Porcupine Tree-"Deadwing"/"In Absentia"

Spock's Beard-"Snow"/"The Kindness of Strangers"

[DrMaddVibe]

The Raconteurs


I'm digging them lately.

Still listen to Louis XIV and Lodger.

What do Louis XIV sound like?

[Shaun Ponsonby]

He sounds like a decomposed body.

[binnie]

LOL!

Ok, I walked into that....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yup-it was an obvious joke, but one that has to be said.

[Padre Atilio]

I really like the swedish IN FLAMES, dannish MNEMIC, finnish CHILDREN OF BODOM but can remember any of norway to compelte the list...

Oh and I almost forgot to mention Bullet For My Valentine...

Have you noticed that many of the new US bands are imtating the scadinavian ones ? like Trivium, As I lay Dying (also good ones) and many other... The so called melodic metal was very popular 10 years ago and the new generations sounds very similar to them...

[binnie]

You have a point there Padre, they do immitate.

[DrMaddVibe]

http://www.rotharmy.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31528&highlight=Louis+XIV

Lodger is a cross between Beck when its good and early Bowie. I'm still waiting for them to cross the shores.

[binnie]

Thanks for the links.....

[sammysucks65]

atreyu, heavy, screamy, but they know how to play guitar. Lots of good classic metal riffing and soloing going on.

atreyu check them out

[mako_kimura]

I might have to disagree with Atreyu, AILD, and Trivium. They all just sound the same to me

[binnie]

Originally posted by mako_kimura

I think Trivium are different to the other two bands there.

Whilst there is a similarity in vocal delivery, screaming followed by "melodic" chorus, I think Trivium have a more classic thrash feel to them.

[mako_kimura]

They have the classic thrash sound because they have the same ambitions as every dumbass teenager on the planet, the want to be the next Metallica

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Exactly, exactly.

[binnie]

Not a new band, but a new album

Buckcherry "15"

No radical change in dirrection here, still dirty shit-kicking rock n roll, blues based sunset-strip fun.

Great summer record.

turn up and play loud!

[binnie]

Might as well put The Answer here as well.

New band who worship Zeps Sabbath and Humble Pie!

Well worth a listen....

[Mr. Vengeance]

I hear good things about a band called Van Halen. They apparently have a great guitarist and what some are calling one of the best frontmen of all time!

I hear the guitar player drinks a bit, but I'm sure he'll keep it in check. We wouldn't want a band with this much going for it to fuck things up.

[binnie]

Rye Coalition "Curses"

This album got me very excited! A heddy doses of The Stooges and AC/DC, with enough enrgy to run a powerplant!

Sure, you've heard it all before, but what separates this band from the pack is the fact that they don't just play at breakneck speed for 12 songs, so all the tracks sound the same: there has been some thought involved, some variation and melody.

Produced by Dave Grohl, this is a record that is well worth checking out if you like Rock N Roll loud!

[binnie]

Hardcore Superstar "Hardcore Superstar"

This band has failed to deliver on previous releases, but this is an absoute gem of a record.

Sex, drugs, rock n roll played like a bar brawl supervised by Motley Crue and Guns n Roses, with the spirit of Johnny Thunders casting an observing eye.

This is my soundtrack to the summer, alongside the new Buckcherry record!

Reinventing the wheel it maybe, but it makes me wanna fight and fuck!

[binnie]

Also for those who love METALLLL!!!!!!


Check out Tim "Ripper" Owens' new band

Beyond Fear

Fuckin grate record - does was it says on the tin!

[binnie]

Frameshift "Absence of Empathy"

Anyone like prog?

this is one of the guys from Dream Theatre with Sebatian Bach on vocals.

Whilst I think some of the songs could have done with editing a little, this is one of the best records I have heard this year.

Very odd, but cool once you get into it!

[binnie]

New Band called "Dirty Rig" with ex-Warrior Soul singer Kory Clarke.


Quite simply, this is the best straight out rock n roll record I ave heard in years!

Staggering is the only word I can think of.....

[Soul Reaper]

not exactly new, but try Daft Punk....if you're into electro stuff....

Dragonforce....power metal reincarnated....
Freak Kitchen.....excellent Swedish metal band....
Opeth....another excellent Scandanavian death metal band....

I can't think of many at the moment...

I think of some more later....

[Motherpucker73]

The Joggers...Trippy dual guitar psychadelic indie rock from Portland
Necrophagist..The most extreme, skilled death metal band EVER
Ween...While not 'new', sure to blow your balls with something they have done at some time.

[binnie]

Anyone recommend some Ween albums for me?

[mako_kimura]

Necrophagist scares the living hell out of me to be honest. That, and they're kinda cheesy. Anyways, this one's been out for about a month but, what the hell.

AFI's got an album called Decemberunderground. It's pretty good, it's darker than their earlier stuff. Check the single "Miss Murder"

[binnie]

I'll give that one a shot!

[binnie]

Not a new band by any means, but Everclear have their moments.

Think a more effeminate Foo Fighters with punk arrangments....

Some of the lyrics are exceptional, I like people who tell stories....

[mako_kimura]

Hey, did ya check out the thread about the new Iron Maiden song? Give that a spin, I think you'd like it

[mako_kimura]

Also, revising an earlier post, I change my mind about Atreyu. They've got some catchy tunes, some are a bit whiney, but they're good. They're big-time influenced by hair metal, which is kinda cool

[vheddyrmv8]

I love the guitar in Atreyu, I wish their songs came without vocals...

[mako_kimura]

Damn straight. The "singer" annoys me with his screaming. Take that away, then you've got to deal with the whiney-ass drummer who sings the chorus

[VAN HLN CA]

Mako do you really think Dec under is darker than Sing the Sorrow?
I Feel Dec underground is over polished eventhough I expected that to be the case as they take on the next level. AFI smokes live so check them if you can.

Wolfmother has been the most fun party music this summer.

and though its had a year cycle its still a new band to most A7X rocks like a modern Maiden and they have a rift against Dillinger Escape Plan like Motley vs. GnR in the day. Both Sevenfold and Dillenger will have futures.

The 2 new acts I dont get are Maishayu (dancing hasidic jew) and Gnarles Barkley these both have huge buzz but not my cup.

[Last_Child]

What About some Hardsoul Bluegrass Disco?

Good call on Dillenger Escape Plan!

Not for the faint hearted, but unique in evey way. Sounds like Bad Brains on speed!!!

Hmmmm, treat with caution my friend.

The new record is produced by Bob Rock, and is their best IMO.

However, they are jumped-up pop band at best. They are huge here, and have gone from a rap rock band to and emo light.

I would say be wary of the earlier records bu give this one a try.

I love that band, and I think a lot of older metalheads like myself might realsie that there is hope in the new breed when they listen to A7X.......

They sound like Helloween on speed!!!

That last sentence made me avoid this band.

[binnie]

Just checked out the only album by a new band

"From Mars to Sirus" by Gojira.

Now I am a cynical bastard when it comes to modern metal, but this is unlike anything I hve ever heard.

They've taken the best bits from Meshuggah and Mastodon and welded it together with some craxy arrangements.

One of the heaviest records I have ever heard, but it also has moments of being quite progressive. This is ultra-heavy metal.

But there are lots of layers and shades to it too, as well as some really thoughtful lyrics.

The production leaves a lot of space between the drums and guitars, so it sounds live and allows the songs room to breathe and pulsate.

Vocally, it aint singing, but I wouldn't say it was typical cookie-monster either. The nearest I can compare the singer to is Devin Townsend from Strapping Young Lad: he sort of grunts and growls, but you can still understand him, and at times he drops into melodic stuff too.

I recommend downloading this NOW if you are open minded musically and like the ultra-heavy: this band wipes the floor with the majority of modern American metal bands.

Fuck me.

Not a new band, but check out Slayer's new record "Christ Illusion".

Fuck me, it's full on slayer, with Lombardo back on drums. Now Bostaph is probably a better drum than Lombardo (technically I mean), but for me he was always a little too busy for Slayer, he over did the drum fills.

With Lombardo back, things have been stripped down and simplieifed, adding even more weight to the riifage. Lombardo also sounds like thunder on this one!

Seems that Kerry King did the vast majority on the writing on this one, so it's Slayer at ultra-speed. I have to say that sometimes it does feel like "Slayer by numbers" but those moments are few and far between. And yes, Kerry continues to play exactly the same guitar solo that he's played for 20+ years!!

Overall though a furious record, ful of insance time changes, sheer staggering aggression, breakneck speed and some awesome, awesome riffs.

not too sure if I prefer it to "God Hates Us All" yet though.

[Soul Reaper]

yet still people lap it up....they probably think Oasis and those Britpop bands are writing original music....

I wonder if they started wearing spandex....I bet no-one would listen to them then....just because they are 'in fashion'....it's always image over talent with the fickle music buyers....

yes, I'm going on a rant....

[binnie]

Britpop has certainly run its course creatively, as far as I am concerned.

IMO Blur were the best of the bunch, in the sense of actually been inventive and not just a 60's tribute band, but I was never a huge fan.

Pulp were also harmless fun


Oasis, Supergrass, Bluetones, Dodgy, Suede can all fuck off as far as I am concerned - that's not Rock n Roll.

It's seem like all the current wave of New York bands and their clones want to sound like the Strokes (which is a bad thing, IMO) and worship at the feat of The Stooges (which is great, except that none of them has Iggy's balls or danger).

Better than generic pop, but still making a living doing things that bands from the previous tow generations did a lot better.

As for Pete Doherty and The Libertines - utter shite. Talked the rock n roll talk, but couldn't walk the walk. More hype than a J Lo perfume....

Pete Doherty is an asshole who does things for attention.

My dad made the point that he's almost like a Jim Morrison of the 21st Century, although Jim didn't do stuff for attention, it was just him. Also, Jim had the talent/songs to back it all up. Which, of course, Doherty doesn't.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Ssssh...be quiet.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

This is Porcupine Tree. They're not technically new, but after aboot 10-12 years, they're finally making a name for themselves.

They are "influenced" by a strange bunch of bands...

Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Tool, Opeth, Marillion, Muse, Sigur Ros, Dream Theater, Anja Garbarek, Nine Inch Nails, Chroma Key, ABBA, King Crimson, The Beatles, Katatonia, Frank Zappa, Rush, Anathema, Oceansize

Yes, it is live.

[Soul Reaper]

I know of that band.....you've mentioned them many times before....

this is good stuff....I've been neglecting prog rock for a while....

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Don't call them prog to their faces. They don't like being labelled.

That would be good...like one of those "happy to help" tags in ASDA?

[binnie]

Cheers Shaun, interesting stuff!

[mako_kimura]

For you, binnie. Lamb of God's got a new album out called Sacrament. If you like death metal, this is for you. The big single from this is called "Redneck". A side note about this band: they're HUGE here in Va, I think because they're from here.

Also, Black Label Society's new single Concrete Jungle. Flat out, ass kicking metal.

[binnie]

Cheers Mako, posts like that are the reason I started this thread!!!


I am a big Lamb of God fan, and will pick up their new record.

Haven't heard the BLS tune yet, but your recommnedation is encouraging!!!

I got into them at "Sonic Brew" and I've been hooked since.

Check out the new BLS DVD, ass kicking metal indeed.

[ace diamond]

I don't really like pop punk, but I didn't mind that.

The song "Frustration" I thought was really good, stella actually.

Cheers for the link.

[binnie]

Friend of mine gave me a promo copy of the new Mastodon record.

Now their last album "Leviathon" was a CLASSIC I am not overstating, I have been listening to heavy music for years and am the biggest cynic with regards to new music, but that blew me away like the first time I heard "Reign in Blood". Seriously.

This one is even better - exceptional, I have rarely been so impressed with a record.

if you can deal with growling vocal, then listen to it.

I can't compare them to anyone else becuase they don't sound like anyone else, but this is THE heavy metal band of it's generation.

Get in now before everyone else follows suit.

[ace diamond]

mastadon fucking rules!!!

[binnie]

Glad you think so dude!

Trivium no. Arch Enemy's ok. They're not the greatest, but hey, they're better than Trivium in my book

[binnie]

Trivium are GOOD and have plenty of potential, but are not a GREAT band yet.

They are essentially re-hashing 80's thrash, but they play with real balls and anger.

They have been over-hyped, but they may make a great record one day

Definately worth checkng out

[mako_kimura]

Another band that I find kind of good: Stone Sour. Their new album's called "Come What(ever) May", it's very heavy, yet melodic and catchy. It was formed by two members of Slipknot, but don't worry, no stupid masks here, this is MUCH better than Slipknot. Check out the tracks 30/30-150 and Through Glass

[binnie]

I'm with you on that Mako - my girlfriend bought both their records over the weekend and we have bee listneing to them non-stop. Pretty decent stuff, some really strong songs.

When I can forget about all the masks and shit, I actually quite like Slipknot. I thought "Iowa" was a pretty good record (not too keen on the last one though).

I just find it hard to take any horror kitsch seriously, and it's a shame that they use it.

(Although it's a compete double standard on my part because I love Kiss)

[mako_kimura]

I've just got suggestions out F-hole here. Yet another one: Shadows Fall. They're a metalcore band from Boston, and have a great sound. Heavy, good guitar solos, and vocals that send chills up your spine. They released an album called "Fallout From The War" in June. Check out the songs "December", "In Effigy", and for an older one, "Inspiration On Demand"

[binnie]

Mako, we have very similar tastes!

I dig Shadows Fall, a bit samey in places, but a band that can rip your head off when you want the full on agro metal.

I'm not too keen on bands that do the heavy verse/ melodic chorus usually (I think it's a cop out, and the chorus's are never actually that melodic) but this is a band I will make an exception for.

If you like them, check out Poison the Well.

Which is surprising. You'd practically expect it from me, since I'm sixteen. But you surprise me, you're an older adult, and you dig the stuff that a lot of people your age think is bullshit. Anyway, even more hard ass metal coming up: As I Lay Dying. A (get this) Christian death metal band from San Diego. I actually used to live next door to the lead guitarist back in CA. They've got a pretty good album called Shadows Are Security. Check out the songs "Confined", "94 Hours", and "Through Struggle"

Cheers, I will check them out.

I'm not as old as a lot of guys on this site, but I got into metal really young (started collecting when I was 8) and I'm always open to new sounds and styles. There are usually four or five really good bands in any genre of music, and then a whole lot of beggars and hangers on....

megadeth's new cd rules!!!!!!!!!
united abominations......i already have it!!!!
they were selling them sunday at the show. i got the tix and the cd for free!!!!
"washington's next" is definitely worth a listen.

[mako_kimura]

Well, for both Zakk fans and no frills metal fans alike, Black Label Society's new album is now out. Shot To Hell, is what it's called. Extremely good, "A cross between Alice In Chains and Guns N' Roses" according to the reviewer for Rhapsody said.

It's so good I've posted a separate thread about it!

[binnie]

The Panic Channel - (One)

Now, anyone who's seen Rockstar: Supernova knows that Dave Navarro is a bit of a cock - if I have to hear him say that a lacklustre butchering of a classic song was "killer" or "Dope" one more time, I'll scream.

However, this album is spectacular. It is essentially Janes Addiction with a new singer (Perry Faral M.I.A). There are hints of the ehtereal madness that was JA throughout this album, but overall it's more of an out and out heavy rock affair, packed with great songs, beautiful melodies, jaw dropping solos and headbanging riffs. Navarro and drummer Steven Perkins lay down brilliant performances and make the band sounds alive.

The Singer is nothing like Farrell - far more straight up rock, but still able to find beautiful meloldies and some interesting lyrics.

I was cynical about this, thought it'd be shit actually, but it is staggeringly good: no-one over plays, and the band fuse metal, rock, blues, prog and make a colourful and emotional cocktail of great music.

[mako_kimura]

This one came out last year, but what the hell:

Children of Bodom. They released an album called Are You Dead Yet. It's a cross between Ram It Down era Judas Priest and Celtic Frost, and it's AWESOME. Check out the title track, Trashed Lost and Strungout, and In Your Face

Best new band I've heard this decade is a Japanese trio called Electric Eel Shock. These crazy Asian bastards played at the State Capitol in October 2004 as part of a "Rock Against Bush" free festival and despite the cold and windy day, the drummer took the stage dressed in nothing but a sock. And I mean old school Chili Peppers style, not on his feet.

Add to that the Japanese Dee Dee Ramone on bass and a guitarist who seems to be some sort of Hendrix-Iommi hybrid and it's an interesting mix.

Their one flaw is that English isn't their native language, so don't expect lyrical brilliance from them. But then, that never stopped the Ramones.

Here's what I could find on You Tube........

A band that I've been meaning to check out for a while but never gotten around to.

On your recommendation, I will make it a priority!

[mako_kimura]

This next one is just funny as hell and strange on so many levels. Wierd Al Yankovic-Straight Outta Lynwood. Some of the recommended songs are White and Nerdy, Canadian Idiot, and Don't Download This Song. Be prepared to roll around laughing your balls

[mako_kimura]

This one came out in March, but what the hell? Lacuna Coil-Karmacode. They're an Italian band with a very ambient sound. For some strange reason they have two vocalists, but only chick sings. But anyway, check out "Our Truth", "Closer", and "Heaven's A Lie"

An absolutely stella record!!

Just when you thought that ultra-heavy metal was becoming tired and stale and that all the bands in this genre were in danger of becoming generic impersonators of each other, a record like this come along and blows you away.

If you can tolerate cookie-monster vocals, pick this up - NOW!!!

[mako_kimura]

Well, another new one from one of my favorite bands:

Children of Bodom released a two disc live album called Chaos Ridden Years Stockholm Knockout Live. Bodom is one killer live band, and this proves this. They've got a DVD of this coming December 5th, so I'd suggest picking it up. Some cool highlights are the "Clash Of The Booze Brothers" keyboard/guitar duel, Jaaska's drum solo, Roope's guitar solo, and the beginning of "Downfall" where Alexi and Roope play riffs from Motley Crue and Judas Priest

[binnie]

Cheers Mako, I didn't know that was coming out!

[binnie]

The Hardcore Superstar record is one of the strongest released this year....

[mako_kimura]

I found this one when I was getting into Bodom, they're pretty good. The band's called Sinergy. Alexi Laiho, Bodom's guitarist/singer, played lead guitar with these guys in the early and mid 90's. His ex wife, Kim Goss, sings for em. They've got a good metal sound with very ambient vocals. Try out the album Suicide By My Side, it's a Sinergy classic

[binnie]

I'll add Sinergy to my list of bands to track down. Cheers.

[mako_kimura]

Oh hell yeah. Shadows Fall just released the first single from their upcoming album "Threads Of Life". The single's called "Redemption", and personally, I think it sounds killer. very old school blended with new school. Check it out on myspace.com/shadowsfall

[nosuchluck]

Pain of Salvation - been around for 10 years or so. One of the best bands around, IMO. - They play prog metal or something like it. Check out their albums in chronological order.

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Yea, they're pretty good.

Daniel Gildenlow gets around a bit actually.

Shadows Fall have nver reached their potential on record, IMO, but this song gives me hope that the new one will be a killer!

As a matter of fact, Atreyu released a version of their album "The Curse" with NO VOCALS! It's better than the version with the vocals. But anyway, speaking of Atreyu, since they got a deal with Hollywood Records, their old label Victory just released a "Best Of" disc. It features all their songs on their four albums "Fractures In The Facade", "Suicide Notes and Butterfly Kisses", "The Curse", and "A Deathgrip On Yesterday"

[binnie]

Brand New Sin.

Simple, balls out southern fried metal.

Like C.O.C/ Down but songs are nowhere near as well written.

Heavy, fun and powerful.

[ace diamond]

I JUST MADE A NEW CD. I AM POSTING THE LINK TO MY WEB PAGE SO YOU GUYS CAN CHECK IT OUT. I CAN ONLY PUT 4 SONGS AT A TIME....BUT I RECORDED 20 SONGS.......IN JUST 7 HOURS!!!!!

Ha Ha, that's a great album title!

I will check it out when I get home!

[mako_kimura]

Just a little update on my Shadows Fall post, but they've released their video for Redemption on MTV2.com, check it out. Also, they're gonna air it on "The Drop" on March 31st on MTV2, check it out

[binnie]

Cheers Mako, will do!

[mako_kimura]

One more update on Shadows Fall, they just released their new album "Threads of Life". It's pretty good. It's a great blend of 80's style thrash metal with modern metal, check it out

[binnie]

Cheers Mako, it's on my list.

Check out Mendeed - The Dead Live By Love.

It's a good solid record from a British band. The sound borrows heavily form the New Wave Of american Heavy metal bands - ie, there are a lot of breakdowns and the singer alternates from snarl to singing - but I'd say the sound is a lot simpler with less tracks of production, and as a result more powerful.

It annoys me when Brit bands try to sound like Amercians, even singing in American accents, but this album is a definate winner nonethless. The songs are all well written, there's no padding or wasted space in them, and when it works it really works: awesome solos which aren't self-indulgent but compliemnt the songs; and the guitar players never forget about melody, they don't just thrash out the whole time, but inject another level into the songs with beautiful melodic playing which is often very subtle.

Which is why it is all the more baffling that they cock-up the "maiden-esque" hamrony parts: note to all modern-metal bands, when you play these parts at 160, 180, 200 bpm they end up sounding very jolly and very weak, which undermines the power in the rest of the music as well as the emotional content of the lyrics.

Criticisms aside, this is well worth a listen and the band clearly has potential for much bigger and better things.

The Dead Live By Love:

Love the riffing, in fact I love everything except the chorus, which is only ok.

[ace diamond]

SO, BINNIE.....WHAT DID YOU THINK OF MY NEW MUSIC?

[SA ME WHO]

One of my favorite bands (that is new-er) is ZO2, out of Brooklyn, NY.

A hard rock band that has a melodic sound with a bluesier/funkier bent. They are , as often described, the perfect melding of the 70's rock sound with modern arrangements. Their debut, Tuesdays & Thursdays is fantastic and only slightly behind is the follow-up Ain't It Beautiful.

Not only a great band to spin on your CD player, but one hell of a fun band to see live.

Grate Binnie! Always glad to hear someone's happy with these guys. They're dedicated as hell and should be a lot more well known, but we won't get into what sucks about the music biz right now.

There's lots more music on the MS page and some on their site. Here's another video, though just concert footage from when they toured in '04 with KISS and Poison.

Also, for anyone who gets the IFC (Independent Film Channel), ZO2 will have a show premiering sometime later this year regarding the travails of a band trying to make their rock dreams come true while juggling day jobs as well. http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117957058.html?categoryid=1236&cs=1&query=ZO2

Thanks again for the kind words Binnie!

[Last_Child]

Since I started on myspace I've found shitloads of new great bands!

But there's one I like to show. found them thanks to a Band Kriegfinal here in town.
Their name "HOT ORGAN" sounded good.
And it is!
Classic Rock with hammond today played by dudes who know how to play is just fucking awwesome!

A bit oot of sync with the other bands mentioned, but there is a blues singer from Manchester called Kyla Brox who I have recently become a fan of.

www.myspace.com/kylabrox

[binnie]

Cheers Shaun, I will defintely give that a listen...

[Shaun Ponsonby]

Listen to "Coming Home" on the myspace site.

[mako_kimura]

Ok, I decided to not even bother to give this one a thread of it's own, but here it is. Avenged Sevenfold, who I'm no longer too crazy about since their fanbase got flooded with Hot Topic shopping scenester fucks, has released a cover of Pantera's "Walk". It's actually almost dead-on, save for differences in vocals. Check it out, if you care

[binnie]

Bump

:d

[Shaun Ponsonby]

I can't stop spinning the new Gaslight Anthem album.
