Alternative rock music, I need new music Options

[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.

All good tunes.

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

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

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.

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.
