What great band have you just discovered?

[akaijunkie]

not just discovered, but only recently have i really delved into their work: ween. i have been listening to their music almost exclusively for about 2 weeks, especially the albums "god ween satan" and "the pod".

Have you seen them live yet? I saw them in about 2002, then again in 2011. Fantastic both times.

Not a new discovery exactly, but like BigFan w/ Ween, I'm delving into Real Estate's work. I like it, but it sounds pretty uniform - not much variance.

No, they broke up earlier this year I have several live performances downloaded, though, and I love those. Damn I wish I could've seen them live.

I just noticed that the OP also discovered ween lol

The Gories, jungle stomping blues punk. For scumbags.

I just rediscovered a band I saw live once before they had a record deal... Profane Omen. They were clearly pretty new, but their energy, tight groove, and raw Fuck You made an impression on me... Many years later, I YouTubed them after somehow recalling a song that really had me going in the mosh pit, and they've come a long way - pretty awesome, in fact.

I'm not much of a metalhead anymore, and the particular genre they seem to fit into (though not very snugly) was one of my least favorites. On the one hand, they combine a thrash/groove metal with hardcore, but they don't sound as angsty as most of the other bands I would lump into the same kind of wide group. Or maybe it's the nostalgia talking. Either way, my neck hurts from all this headbanging.

I've recently discovered this cool new band called "Lead Zeppelin". I think these guys are gonna be big.

 

[ebola?]

Do you listen to 65daysofstatic Max?

Pretty awesome...on a similar note, Secheron Peak is fucking rad, laying somewhere near the intersection of 65DaysofStatic and Plaid.

Built to Spill are awesome. Just recently got into Parenthetical Girls after seeing them live. Like experimental indie pop. They put on an amazing show. And Allo Darlin, pretty cool twee/indie pop group.

65days love & Built to Spill love going on in here. NICE %)

Listening to Blackout Beach at the moment and from them also discovered Frog Eyes - two cool bands at once. Very trippy, at least to me.

I don't know if it's because I'm really out of it but I'm really digging Blackout Beach.

I really like the mousey house barns but I have really been into the empowered milk station there grooves are almost too much. I saw them at a little club not that long ago and the fact that they were relatively unknown really impressed me.

[Droppersneck]

I have been making fun of hippies and hipsters since before kimmel even had a show- fact

 

[MrGrunge]

^ So you made fun of hipsters before it was cool?

Fucking hipster.

 

[Droppersneck]

[coelophysis]

I invented hip.
You're welcome.
