Lineker's Left Foot Posted 8 January 2006 Posted 8 January 2006 I found a few good artists I really got into last year. My favourites were:- David Sylvian - although always loved Japan - now got most of his albums. Mylo Dakota Suite Marc Hellner Fairport Convention Emiliana Torrini What are your new finds????
Rachel - WCF Posted 8 January 2006 Posted 8 January 2006 right my new artists/ bands none of them are mainstream well apart from the 1st 1 Lucie Silvas Ben Mark Miles From Midnight Aaron Short Laura Hunt Nikki Aston Brett Micheal Wiesman The Little Man
Finnegan Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Not nescersarily 'new' bands, but bands I got into in 2005: Godspeed You Black Emperor! - Prog, nine-piece ensemble. Play really ambient, pretentious, wall-of-sound genius. Absolutely amazing to listen to. The Tossers - I noticed a few people on the board into the Murphs and Flogging molly, in that case the Tossers are deffo worth a listen. Similar vein of music. Guitar Wolf! Probably the best band. Ever.
Mark Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Lydia As Cities Burn Mates of State Terminal Broken Social Scene Hondo Maclean and the best of the lot - The Receiving End of Sirens
The People's Hero Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Lydia As Cities Burn Mates of State Terminal Broken Social Scene Hondo Maclean and the best of the lot - The Receiving End of Sirens How do people hear about these bands? I've honestly never heard of any of the above
Libertine Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 How do people hear about these bands? I've honestly never heard of any of the above Same. I've heard of Lydia before, but that's it. I expect it is from something like MySpace.
FoxInTheSnow Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Nah, the internet makes finding new bands very simple indeed. If you can find some websites you trust like drownedinsound.com, pitchfork etc then there will be lots of new bands mentioned. Then you can waste time on myspace, indie torrents etc downloading new stuff. You don't have to depend on the NME anymore. Broken Social Scene are ace
Bert Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Goo-Goo Dolls Kano I've also found out that i like acoustic guitar a lot.
TornadoShaunUK Posted 9 January 2006 Posted 9 January 2006 Hardline, Steelhouse Lane = Excellent Great White = Crap

Ever. Godspeed You! Black Emperor are awesome Do you like A Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band? It has Efrim from GY!BE on Vocals and a few of the other guys and gals, I recommend them The were originally called A Silver Mount Zion but changed after their first album.
FoxInTheSnow Posted 10 January 2006 Posted 10 January 2006 The Hidden Cameras. Ha you really do have some of the gayest music taste ever. Well done. I saw the Hidden Cameras a couple of years ago at the Charlotte. Really good show. They entered the stage by walking through the venue singing. Before teaching us dance moves and passing out instruments.

Sigma Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 Broken Social Scene I'm sure you are aware of this but they are playing Nottingham sometime in mid-Feb.
Strokes Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 The Hidden Cameras. My house mate said he saw them somwhere, reckoned they were class
Ricey Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 I found very few new artists last year I liked, wa it me or was it a quite year for good new bands? I'm not one of those people who likes a band more by how unknown or alternative they are, I know so many people who like these random bands that only they have heard of...95% these bands are awful but they like them for theor alternative image. Maybe that's why I found only a few good new bands, I spent most of last year listening to 60's and 70's music
The People's Hero Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 My house mate said he saw them somwhere, reckoned they were class I've not seen them live, but do like them a lot... Check some of their stuff out mate.
The People's Hero Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 Or better still, participate in the latest cd swap - see my thread about it!

They must find them good to like Ricey, i can't imagine all these people really listen to these bands simply because they are unknown or whatever their image is, there has to be something in the music to like first

Head Honcho Posted 11 January 2006 Posted 11 January 2006 New bands I liked from last year include The Bravery Hard-Fi Arctic Monkeys .....and a couple I got back into Interpol Radio 4 ......and one for the future The Cloud Room

Yay!Interpol rock! Interpol do rock. And the lead singer has the... Best.Hair.Ever. (Edit) <<< In the 'Slow Hands' video.
