So I need some new bands to get into for 08.

I am very open as I listen to all kindns of music from Brooks & Dunn to The Diplomats.

My favorite band is The Strokes, and I like bands like The Hives, The Vines, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, Juliana Theory, Paramore, Coheed, ETC.!

I am just trying to open my ears and eyes to new things.

Any helpful suggestions would really help!

Have you ever listened to At the Drive-in? They're "experimental," but I find their one song, Cosmonaut, to not be half-bad. I don't bother trying to find new music anymore, but that's one band that most people wouldn't try.

Will look into it thanks.

Try Massive Attack, Interpol, PJ Harvey, Chicane

Alot of people keep mentioning Interpol. Are they really all that?

It's up to you if you like them.

I just heard a few songs and they are good.

Older Interpol > newer Interpol. Latest album is crap.

Do you like metal? Can you ignore annoying voices until you get used to them and realize they aren't too bad? Can you listen to japanese music? :)

Flyleaf is a good band.

New bands?
Have you heard Black Tide, and Operator? those two are awesome new bands. And Havok, they aren't signed yet though. Havok Myspace.listen to their song "To Hell"

Oh, and Puscifer. It's a side project of Tool. Listen to, "Vagina Mine."

Of course I can.

The Shins are AWESOME! None of the songs on any of their albums need skipping.

I like bands fronted by girls like morningwood, I think that they are underrated.

Somewhat like Morningwood: Uffie, Coco, Css, Freezepop, The Bird & The Bee.
Then there is also stuff like Ingrid Michaelson, Sia, Terra Naomi, Imogen Heap, Frou Frou, Cat Power, and Rilo Kiley.

-Boys Like Girls

I love Within Temptation, but judging by the other bands you listed, I'm not too sure if you'd like them. But her voice is beautiful.

Jupiter Rising, "Electropop." I found it to be catchy.

I love working at UMGD. I get to hear all new artists and popular artists new releases!

gratitude, mae, secret machines, and if you're up for something completely different, check out JAY CHOU.

yeah mae definitely. great band. not new, but lowkey though. destination beautiful great album.

^ saw them in concert couple months ago along with motion city soundtrack

btw check out www.pandora.com they find songs/artists based on what you like, it's great

^ you act like you some hot stuff? I saw mae twice and motion city soundtrack once with daphne loves derby. i can name all the bands ive seen and my list would be longer than javonn's dick! btw betty, lets go to a concert together in SF sometime. you can sit on my shoulder since you're short and the crowd will be pretty moshy!

Acceptance

although they are no longer together

SORRY TUNG THAT WAS ACTUALLY A BIG DEAL FOR ME. and yes after the fifth month of this year i will have oodles and oodles of time. whoopeeeee we can go SFing.


^ WTF when did acceptance break up?

I'm a big fan of Acceptance, i never knew they broke up. It explains why I haven't had any new songs from them in like 2 years.

Betty, we should totally hang out this summer. Warp tour if you like. I go every year in Sacramento and San Francisco. There'll be tons of bands you'll like, and you can like add 15 bands to your list you've seen and in only one day!

You'd probably really enjoy Mayday Parade ane Evans Blue. They're alternative rock.

Stephen Speaks plays mostly acoustic. They're wonderful if you're feeling mellow.

Rock;

korn?
Mudvayne?
Slipknot?

Rap; [horrorcore, to be exact]

Insane Clown Posse?
Twiztid? [recommended]
Boondox?

The first three you MIGHT like, the second three probly not.

LOL talk about heavy metal shit right thurrr

haha, Damn straight!

i <3 horrorcore

Still looking

If you're open to go more around the unsigned band route.
I happen to really like these guys, Countless Hours.
They're out of the Ventura area.

just a thought.
if you like 'em, tell your friends!


WAY agree with the person who suggested We The Kings. I heart them.

but ALSO. here's a pretty random list that i found (actually i think it's the bands that i was interested in seeing at the August 17 date of Warped Tour...always a good place to find some up and comers as well) whether you've heard of them or not. (I'm sure you've heard of at least a few, if not a lot of them)
