I know this is a relatively ancient threat and could even be sacred or something (I don't know). But am I the only one who finds the title hard to understand. I mean it's not that bad, but it almost seems like it's saying not to post recommendations or questions here....

hehe someone needs to work on their reading comprehension.
sure it's missing a comma up there but it's basically saying don't start a new thread asking for band or song recs, post them in here instead of littering the forums with them. It also serves as a dumping ground because there are some newbs that still do it and they can be merged into this one thread.

Just thought I'd say that any fans of that celtic-punk/Poguesy sound of Flogging Molly should have a look into the Tossers if they haven't already. Very good, pretty underrated band.

Any recommendations for some instrumental "downtempo/electronic", AIR/Zero 7-type stuff would be immensely appreciated, especially if it's got a bit of a jazzy tinge to it, like "La Femme D'Argent", and any instrumental trip-hop would be good too, if such a thing even exists. :laughing:
Dunno what you've found of all this, but I've got a few recs for ya. These might not be what you're looking for down to the very letter, as it's been a while since I last listened to Moon Safari, but give some of these videos a try.
Dirty Elegance;
Opgave;
Saltillo;
And their affiliates Sunday Munich throw a bit more shoegaze/dreampop into things, and as such are a wee bit more vocal-heavy, but you might like them all the same;
If you need links, you're welcome to ask me about them.

Anyone know of any heavy hardcore bands with good riffs, and at least decent production value? Think something like Converge or Comeback Kid.

If you haven't already, This Is Hell, Cancer Bats, Letlive (more post-hardcore and lots of high-pitched singing though), Defeater, The Ghost Of A Thousand, Trap Them.
Every Time I Die spring to mind too but you've probably already heard them and made up your mind.

Ah thanks dude! I've actually never listened to any of those.
Also ETID are one of my favorites, I would have put them on my initial 'list' but I've got plenty of southerncore.

Okay, awesome. :thumb: Glad I could help.
What did you think of Comeback Kid's latest?

I love it. I've had that kickass riff from Do Yourself A Favor stuck in my head all day, which is actually what prompted my coming here looking for more good riffs in the first place.

i want to hear music that's totally out there - which is completely unlike anything else, and does not fit into any genres, is not world music, closer to a cat walking on a piano keyboard
