Everybody has heard of bands/artists that come up with one big hit and then they seem to disappear. Some of those groups do in fact vanish, but some others just stay on the down low for whatever reasons and despite not being on the spot light they keep producing music.
I hate missing on original musical ideas that due to a continuous lack of commercial success do end up becoming unnoticed. So as an experiment of sorts, I have started this thread with the purpose of exchanging information about bands with CB members, so people can keep updated on the news about their favorite "underground" music projects, as well as meet people with similar tastes through the sharing of musical knowledge. Myself, I would like to know what did happen to the band Fastball. They had a big hit in the late 90's with a song titled The way, which wasn't musically spectacular but it was a good pop song nonetheless. |

Actually, their new album came out on the 20th.
I don't like The Ataris anymore. I still listen to their album So Long, Astoria but I hate their new songs and the new album. What happened to Taking Back Sunday?  I don't hear of them anymore.

^ Takeoffs and Landings! And Hero Dies In This One.
 Those are really great songs by The Ataris that never really went mainstream.QUOTE(Kurd Jam @ Feb 25 2007, 12:14 AM) New album "Louder Now" has already hit the stores and they're playing gigs in the USA, although I don't know if it's a full blown tour or not. Louder Now came out a year ago.  MakeDamnSure was really popular last summer and now everyone forgot about them. Well, at least the mainstream kids did.. |
