Alternative rock music, I need new music Options

[smashedcodes]

I really need some new music to listen to. anybody have any good artists or songs they know?

I like alternative rock, techno, (any kind of rock), and Indie.

[Tramatize]

Uhmm have you heard of deadstar assembly? there an awsome industrial band!!
there like my 4th all time fav band!
mudvayne is great too, my 2nd fav band

[smashedcodes]

I've never heard of the first band.. but I love mudvayne!!

[Luna5]

BT is techno. I like some of his stuff and he really isn't that new.

[Jennifer]

I like Saosin :) They're pretty much alternative rock/post-hardcore. You should check em out.

Techno? Try 'The Medic Droid'. They're techno/powerpop/rock.

[smashedcodes]

Deathstar assembly reminds me of rob zombie. i like it.. and BT is cool thanks (:

[smashedcodes]

I like Saosin :) They're pretty much alternative rock/post-hardcore. You should check em out.

Techno? Try 'The Medic Droid'. They're techno/powerpop/rock.

I think i've heard of Saosin. I like them. I'll have to download some of their stuff later but i have to go now :/

[MissFits]

THE SHINS

[Tramatize]

I like Saosin :) They're pretty much alternative rock/post-hardcore. You should check em out.

Techno? Try 'The Medic Droid'. They're techno/powerpop/rock.

I dont really "like" them but there good, i seen them at projekt revolution :D

medic droid is good, i dont know much tho, but for another techno band, Mindless Self Indulgence...THE GREATEST TECHNO ALIVEE

[smashedcodes]

Mindless self indulgence is good.. I'm listening to it now (: good suggestion.
and now i'm listening to saosine! omg they're great!
haha.. Fer Sure by Medic droid is funny in the beginning. They sound good too. I like them (:

[NoSex]

Oh my shit, bad music! Run, f**king run!

[DoubleJ]

My favorite band is The Strokes. Not sure if you would like them or not.

[superstitious]

Oh my shit, bad music! Run, f**king run!

LOL

What is "alternative" these days anyway?

[smashedcodes]

LOL

What is "alternative" these days anyway?

examples for me are:

Saosin
3 Doors Down
Run Kid Run
Letter Kills
The Higher
Rocket to the Moon (think they're alternative? ns)
Better than Ezra
A Change of Pace
Cute is What We Aim For
The New Linkin Park songs
Breaking Benjamin

and some others.. but i'm too lazy to look.

Bullet for my Valentine

[Smarmosaur]

a couple of my all time favorites are:

dream theater (i'd suggest checking out their myspace first, then search some songs- Space-Dye Vest, Vacant...)
framing hanley- one word, amazing. a mix of a lot of things but if you like rockish stuff you'll defenitely like them. i really suggest listening to Built for Sin and 23 Days. you can find them on purevolume.com.
also, anberlin. can also find them on purevolume.
i'm not sure you'll like this one, but Secondhand Serenade is always a good acoustic band with a rock background feel. :]

I love Dream Theater and all, but their myspace does them no justice. Youtube songs such as glass prison, endless sacrifice, in the name of god, or fatal tragedy. Also if you're into Dream Theater, check out Liquid Tension Experiment. It's a side project with a few Dream Theater members (guitar/drums), all instrumental, and it's pretty interesting to listen to. Songs such as Acid Rock, Paradigm Shift, or Universal Mind.

[EddieV]

^ I like all those bands.

[S-Majere]

Try (if you already haven't) Grendel, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Diary of Dreams, Cake, Critical Mass, The Cruxshadows, Lunatic Calm, Zeromancer and Unwritten Law.

All good tunes.

[karmakiller]

Well, they're not all alternative but they're great bands.
- Barenaked Ladies
- Augustana
- Eve 6
- The Click Five
- Alice In Chains
- Anberlin
- Marcy Playground
- Hellogoodbye

:33

A lot of those bands aren't bands anymore, hah. I Alice in Chains.

There's some good suggestions in this thread. I don't think I can really add much.

myspace doesn't do justice for the majority of bands out there.
i'll go search around youtube for that (liquid tension experiment) sometime...my guilty pleasure is instrumental.


[edit]
OH. for the original poster, here's a few more. :]
a bit of Silverchair can't harm. also, Sick Puppies, incase you haven't heard their entire album. Sugarcult is always good, too.
but for a kinda-rockish band, look into Rush of Fools.

[EddieV]

Try (if you already haven't) Grendel, Ministry, Rob Zombie, Diary of Dreams, Cake, Critical Mass, The Cruxshadows, Lunatic Calm, Zeromancer and Unwritten Law.

OH MAN! I forgot Unwritten Law existed!

[MissFits]

The Misfits - with Glen Danzig are GREAT. New Misfits is f**king lame so if you want to check them out everything pre-1983 is FANTASTIC.
Boys Night Out - their first 2 albums(Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses and Make Yourself Sick) are really good and they put on a really fun show.
Brand New - good, but I am sure you have heard them.
CAKE
Death Cab for Cutie's first two albums (You Can Play These Songs With Chords and Something About Airplanes) are phenomenal, I don't really care for their new music too much.
GlassJAw - Worship and Tribute
Incubus - Morning View and Make Yourself
Maps and Atlases - they are CRAZY good guitarists. It is a bit of an acquired taste, though.
NOFX - They are more of a punk band, but that's alternative to some people. Every song on every album is good.
RadioHead - I love them. In Rainbows was alright but everything before that was good ESPECIALLY OK Computer and Kid A
The Postal Service.
Saves The Day - my guilty pleasure band. Through being cool is a really good album.
The Shins - My favorite band as of recently. They are amazing and they will change your life.
Sublime - Everyone says they are a fan of Sublime, but I highly suggest buying all their albums and not just listening to the mainstream songs. Sublime is so famous for some of their worst songs, in my opinion.
Weezer - Blue Album


The following bands are more ska, but you might still enjoy them. I know I do.
Catch 22 - Keasbey Nights
Streetlight Manifesto - This is the original lead singer of Catch 22's new band. They re-did Keasbey Nights very well and they have another album Somewhere In Between
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Choking Victim - More of a punk/ska, but I love them
Reel Big Fish - Turn the Radio Off
RX Bandits - BEST LIVE BAND EVER. They really mean everything they sing and you can tell when you see them live.
Leftover Crack - Another punk/ska band. They sound kind of like choking victim, actually.

[Note]

Alternative is kinda like chill music right? Kick back, relax, and read a nice book with a cup of coffee and skittles kinda thing? X3
Well I only have a few artist under alternative on my ipod . . .

Chris Daughtry
Coldplay
The Killers
Shawn Mullins
Linkin Park
Snow Patrol
Sublime [I don't really like them anymore]
Goo Goo Dolls
3 doors down

I'm not sure if I should be asking this or not, but does anyone know where to download these kinds of songs. Alternative music and stuff. I've been getting into them.

purevolume you can look up those kind of alternative bands and sometimes they'll let you download their stuff. If not you can make your own playlist if you sign up and everything. I'm not going to mention anything illegal on here. lol

Thanks
You know all the bands?

[smashedcodes]

Thanks
You know all the bands?

i know em all now. Thakns (:

[MissFits]

I was actually talking to Karma Killer.

Sorry for the confusion, but I hope you found at least 1 band you like as well.

[smashedcodes]

o ok
and yea i did.

[MissFits]

Awesome, which one did you like the most?

[smashedcodes]

I haven't been able to listen to all of them yet. but I like the misfits death cab for cutie, and Streetlight Manifesto. So far that's all i've been able to listen to..

i just listened to a song by glassjaw.. they sound good too.

[MissFits]

Did you make sure to listen to Early Misfits? If you like new Misfits, that's cool for you, but it makes you an abomination in my opinion.

Streetlight Manifesto is REALLY good, you will really like Catch 22's early stuff if you liked them.

[smashedcodes]

i'm not sure.. I had already had a bunch of misfits songs downloaded that i didn't know I had and i listened to them..
some of them were
we are 138
static age
the forbidden songs
and like
30 other songs.

[MissFits]

You can tell a difference in the voices. 138 and Static Age are old Misfits. I have never heard the other song so I am left to assume it's new.

See, old misfits was headed by a wonderful douchebag by the name of Glenn Danzig. New Misfits is headed by Jerry Only who legally stole the Misfits from Danzig.
Danzig has had 2 bands since then but he deserves to own the Misfits since he drew the shit and wrote the songs.

[smashedcodes]

o0o ok.. yea i'd heard of Danzig... my ex bf told me to download him and i did. he never told me he was part of the misfits.

[MissFits]

They are a lot heavier than the Misfits. He had another band, Samhein, but they didn't do a lot.

[rockthebox]

Say Anything is a band i have been really getting into lately.

[Smarmosaur]

Say Anything is a band i have been really getting into lately.

say anything didn't appeal to me. at all.


as for purevolume, it just may be my life partner.

[freeridefight]

Go download The Sounds
you are doing yourself a favor

[S-Majere]

OH MAN! I forgot Unwritten Law existed!

Might I suggest pandora? I have gotten a lot of good music from them.
