Cameronj279 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Came across this band last week Diablo Swing Orchestra, they mix Swing and Metal music and do a very very good job I must say! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2mZVOd0jWY What's some other unique bands you know?

NancyJohnson Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 A looooong time ago I discovered Shudder To Think. They were a punky/math rock band from the US, with falsetto vocals. If you've got a penchant for two or three minute songs with more key and timing changes than you feel is conceivably possible during a two or three minute song, fire up your Spotify and listen to their Get Your Goat album. Even now I try and play along with a few of the tracks and struggle to work out what's going on. Wonderful stuff. Also, check out Tubelord.

pietruszka Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 +1 for Mr. Bungle, brilliant band, Dead Goon and Ars Moriendi are personal favourites. The track in the first post reminds me of Party At Ground Zero by Fishbone. I enjoyed it! The kit sounds fantastic. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Transaxle Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) I have always had a soft spot for Hybrid Kids - A Collection of Classic Mutants. Incredibly diverse and bizarre cover versions by Morgan Fisher. One example [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwXbzRFSqL0[/media] The other tracks are nothing like this Edited July 14, 2012 by Leon Transaxle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 most of the new-to-me music i've heard over the last year or so has been heard on radio 3. "in tune" in the evening throws up some fantastic performances and the early michael nyman i listened to this week has been some of the most arresting music i've heard in years.

BassTractor Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 Samla Mammas Manna, a Swedish prog band. Their music ranges from humouristic folk-like stuff to Henry Cow live craze, and they know exactly how much to deviate from theory - both compositionwise and playingtightwise. I lurv them to death. They go under three names: Samla Mammas Manna Zamla Mammaz Manna von Zamla Here's a nice, sympathetic something from the von Zamla period.
