I need more, would appreciate a little recommendations
I should very well clarify myself. NOT ACTUAL DANCE BANDS like Enya and Kylie Minogue. Basically dancy alternative rock bands or bands using electronic sounds in their music. something like: LCD Soundsystem 33Hz Panic! At The Disco Men, Women, and Children Reggie and the Full Effect Motion City Soundtrack (to a certain degree) VHS or BETA The Postal Service Head Automatica Action Action Hard-Fi Metric Le Tigre Zolof The Rock and Roll Destroyer The Sun Minus The Bear Hellogoodbye (my guilty pleasure) And also it's probably worth mentioning, NO THE KILLERS / THE BRAVERY. and for my final statement, I don't need anybody coming in here telling me the bands I listen to suck or they're not the genre that I put them into because...frankly, I don't ****ing care. |

here goes:
The Anix (new, but sounds kinda old) A Certain Kind of Different (underground synthpop, from Arkansas of all places, check out their MySpace) New Order (old school) Joy Division (old school) Depeche Mode (old school) Bloc Party (eh, a few good songs...) The Faint (Love, Love, Love these guys...) IMA Robot (Just dance. I recommend "Black Jettas") Vanity Beach (gothic, sounds like Orgy and NIN) Figurine (Postal Serive goes 80's) Chicks On Speed (just bizarre) Subsonica (Russian techno) Radiohead (some songs, like "Idioteque") Namelessnumberheadman (combine Postal Service with Modest Mouse, that's what NNHM sounds like) ...... yeah, there's tons more but that's all I can think of, in the way of dance-y bands. |

I'm a big Action Action fan, so it's nice to see that someone even listed them
I saw them live last year and even though I'm a hard rock fan, I loved them and bought their cd. If you want to get a taste of them, find the songs "Photograph" or "Drug Like" and then you'll know if you like them or not |

Linkin Park = no. Though they do have like a DJ or whatever, I'm leaning toward a more indie / dance sound.
& yes, Action Action is amazing. edit: FREEZEPOP  neat little band.

Death Cab...you must be thinking about The Postal Service
and I was gonna put Q and Not U but they're more of a post-hardcore outfit. I'll check out the others though, thanks :D |
