alexa3020 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Probably not cool, but I was listening to a random rock playlist on Spotify & Prophets of Rage came on and they were so much better than everything else. Those rage boys have still got it! the last band to really blow me away though is king gizzard...... although some of their stuff is a bit hit or miss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 I don't think many new bands have gotten me too excited since at least the 90s but just recently there's been a crop of bands who remind me of my Glam / Punk roots and they've shaken the middle age out of me.

LeftyP Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Two talented sisters from Sweden and one plays a Hofner club bass - what's not to like! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyP Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Two more sisters - they are twins. From a Christian music background but now trying other styles. Interesting studio set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside downer Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 First saw this lot in 2017. You can't whack a bit of Turkish psychedelic folk-rock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykesbass Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Fantastic Negrito is the first act in a long time that I've listened to on repeat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmccombe7 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Last band that really got me was from Jools Holland show few yrs back. Fantastic album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 This last one's a bit of a cheat, since I'm now their bass player, but I remembered the band from doing a gig with them back in the early days of the Terrortones, and was so impressed that when the chance to be a member of the band came up I jumped at it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinny Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Don't like this sort of thing, but this LP's been on repeat...a lot. What's not to like? Skip 25 seconds if, like me, you find the lumpy death-rattle of a Hardly Desirable just plain annoying... Simply cannot get enough of this...

I really liked that Grimes track too, never listened to her before assuming it would just be like most modern pop tosh. I'd only ever heard about her due to her dating Elon Musk.

xgsjx Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just discovered the House & Garage Orchestra about a month ago. Fantastic stuff! And despite a friend telling me a few years back to listen to them, I've only recently took notice of Moderat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Like many of us I've gone past the point of finding a whole lot of new music that makes me go "wow". However a couple of years back a mate dragged me along to see these guys: Forgive me if I've banged on about Lifesigns before (which I have) but blown away was an understatement! Quite exceptional to see musicians of this calibre playing such gorgeous, expansive music in a local pub that I've played dozens of times myself. They're probably my current favourite band - and thoroughly lovely human beings to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And adding the fantastic Dave Bainbridge, formerly of Iona, on guitar has done them no harm at all!

Yep I'm big into Moderat which is a collaboration between two other acts; Modeselektor and Apparat. If you like quirky electronica, they're well recommended as are fellow Germans Mouse on Mars My two big recent 'discoveries' of late are Solar Fields and AES Dana, both on the French Ultimae label which specialises in ambient electronica with a mid-tempo trance-y vibe. Both been around for yonks though. Recommended if you like early The Orb, John Hopkins, Carbon Based Lifeforms, Global Communication and the like Edited January 4, 2019 by Barking Spiders 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m big into ambient electronica stuff such as Orb, Tangerine Dream, Vangelis (Blade Runner is possibly my fave album) & so on. Ive had a little listen to Modeselektor & Aparat, but not had a proper listen as yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skybone Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 The las band that made me go "wow" was Maggot Heart's "Show Them Your Teeth". Wonderfully dark, but without conforming to the cliché's of "heavy" music. https://youtu.be/dxs-iqW7kOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimes appear to have none something interesting with their YouTube URL, as the track I wanted to link was Kill V Main, but a different track "Genesis" actually came up when I posted my reply, and since then it's changed again. They are all good though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josie Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Kind of depends what you mean by "new"... About six years ago Walter Trout headlined a showcase of new blues bands on a tour that included the Mcr Ritz. I got very bored and was thinking "What would it take for the next young band I've never heard of to have me on the edge of my seat thinking 'Oh $h1t!' within the first four bars?" The next young band I'd never heard of was Virgil and the Accelerators. And within the first four bars I was on the edge of my seat thinking "Oh $h1t!" They went on to be friends, I was on their permanent guest list until they sadly split up, and they headlined my 60th birthday charity gig. I've still never heard anyone play electric guitar with the full dynamic and emotional range that Virgil has. More recently, a couple of years ago, went to see the Temperance Movement at Mcr Academy. I really like their studio work, but live they're dreadful imho. But as always went in time to see the support band - The Sheepdogs, Canadian "retro-rock" band, old-fashioned sound, excellent musicians, great live show, perfect four or sometimes five-part vocal harmonies. I've now seen all four of their Mcr gigs, and looking forward to another Mcr Academy 2 Feb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukimajo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I have just got in to the Swiss Garage band The Jackets: and also getting in to Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. I konw they're not new per se, but great non the less: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sheepdogs (see my previous post on this thread) are opening for them on their next UK tour, so I'll stay on to see them 🙂 This happens sometimes - I only got into Jason Isbell - another nomination for this thread - because I wanted another chance to see Tift Merritt who was opening for him in Mcr last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
