General Smuts Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 See my sig - New band i just found called I Am Vexed. Brilliant. Also getting into Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, not sure if they've been mentioned on here before.
Bryn Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 Off the top of my head Rides Again (not Rise Against, my friends keep saying "OMG YOU MEAN RISE AGAINST DICKHEAD EVERYONE KNOWS THEM"), Silverchair, Hell is for Heroes and A Lifelike Story are all bands I've heard music by recently that none of my friends know, and that I liked, but I don't have particularly extensive knowledge of any of them.
General Smuts Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 I saw Hell Is For Heroes at my Uni the other year. On second thoughts that could have been Hundred Reasons.
stevie909 Posted 11 August 2009 Posted 11 August 2009 Even I've heard of them! I'm well aware of how famous they are, but bizarrely no-one i know has heard of them.

Guest Posted 14 August 2009 Posted 14 August 2009 I'm well aware of how famous they are, but bizarrely no-one i know has heard of them. I was just saying. Just like I was going to say I have heard of Hell is for Heroes!

General Smuts Posted 28 August 2009 Posted 28 August 2009 Really getting into a band Joe reccomended to me called Phoenix. Check them out. The French band Phoenix draws elements from an eclectic '80s upbringing to arrive at their rock-synth sound. Thomas Mars (vocals), Deck d'Arcy (bass), and Christian Mazzalai (guitars) were a garage band based out of Mars' house in the suburbs of Paris. Mazzalai's older brother Branco joined the band on guitar when his band Darlin' disbanded in 1995. The group got their touring start on the French bar circuit doing Hank Williams and Prince covers to drunk audiences. Two years later the band took on the name Phoenix and pressed 500 copies of a single on their own label, Ghettoblaster. The A-side was a punk rock song and the other a chugging Krautrocker, hinting at their eclectic tastes. Shortly after, they were signed to the Paris-based Source Records. Phoenix became well acquainted with labelmates Air when they acted as their backing band on several U.K. TV appearances. The result of the electronic exposure was a single called "Heatwave," which was very similar to a '70s disco tune. United, the group's debut album, appeared in 2000 on Astralwerks and was recorded over two months. The album featured guest appearances from friends and family, including Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk), Philippe Zdar (Cassius), and d'Arcy's mother's choral society on the track "Funky Squaredance." Alphabetical followed in 2004 and It's Never Been Like That in 2006. ~ Diana Potts, All Music Guide
