What great band have you just discovered?

Scars of Tomorrow - I should've discovered them two years ago, but I missed their set during their tour with Unearth and Atreyu...
 
Laura Viers
She sounds a bit like Jonanna Newsom but without the hard-to-get-use-to voice. Check her out! :)

About 2 months ago i discovered Rodan.

One of the most amazing cds I've ever heard. People like to compare them to Slint because they're both "Math Rock" bands from Louisville, KY. But I think this album is better Spiderland or Tweez.
 
I just found "silversun pickups", they have a song called "lazy eye" that got me hooked. Indie/rock type stuff, the lead singer sounds like a girl, but they're very talented.
 
If the band isn't on the radio, it sucks. Mainstream radio bands for life. Lawlz.
 
Los Yes Yes...They have that old school cumbia style using flutes, accordions Been listening to cumbia a lot lately and I dig some of it. But Los Yes Yes are so amazing. They sound like they would be from South America but they're from Mexico. I love hearing the flute when listening to cumbias. These guys use it with so much melody and rhythm.
 
Bertie Blackman... Amazing Australian singer-songwriter.

Disregarding the myspace-age, check her out. Now.

You mean the lead singer isn't a girl?? 8o

I like them, alright, but a lot of their material sounds the same.

they are a british rock band... kind of like keane but more edgy, and kind of like muse but less weird. i've heard three of their albums now and i this is how i would rank them in order of dopeness:

1. love is here
2. on the outside
3. silence is easy

%)
 
I'm sure I'm behind on a lot of these bands, but I've only been recently introduced to them....currently atop of my playlist:


Camera Obscura
Tilly and the Wall
Dandy Warhols


:)
 
just stumbled over kirsty MacColl, British new-wave singer-songwriter, daughter of the famous folk singer of same surname; she sounds poppy and 60s, but in a real nice, smart way and you can hear the whole post-punk early 80s thing through, or at least I imagine so; god, and I love how she dances and looks at the beginning of the "Terry" video:

this one's pretty good as well:

apparantly she was killed in 2000 while diving in mexico when she pushed her son out of the way of a speedboat of some mexican millionaire who raced through a dive-site where he should never have entered; some underling claimed he was the one who drove the boat and got off with a few months and 3000 dollars fine
 
Besnard Lakes - The self-proclaimed Dark Horse band of Montreal's supersaturated and inbred music scene, helped produce some other bands albums (I am sure I have mentioned them before on this silly forum . . . ).

Joy Division - Still a little troubled it took me this long to appreciate Ian Curtis . . . anyone else get the feeling that Closer and Unknown Pleasures were recorded in a garbage can or is this the shitty copies I have on my iPod?
 
Lovely

Same here.

I'm a bit late catching on, but I get there in the end.

My favourite on the album is Samson. I was on the verge of tears when I first heard it :(
