^Oh my .

I'm still mourning the death of R.E.M and am reasonably depressed at the fact that I never got to see them live. Is there a similar band that has the same style of melodic amazingness and interesting lyrics that haven't yet split up? xD

I have a noticeable absence of bands from Australia and New Zealand in my collection. Any bands I should really check out? Something along the lines of The Church would be cool.

Ahh, I don't really know if they're similar, but I know REM has influenced The Decemberists, and Colin Meloy is a master of melody and storytelling.

I need some hardcore/screamo similar to Pg.99, Refused, Ink & Dagger, City of Caterpillar, Saetita ect. Can anyone help a brother out, or is the hardcore/screamo/emo part of this site as dead as dirt?

Recommend similar music
 

Hello, I'm new to this forum, and I need help.

A while ago I heard this song ( youtube.com/watch?v=Vv6gq7_snHQ )and I love it! However I'm having a really hard time finding similar songs. I tried dozens of styles (funky, groovy, ambient, rock blues, indie, electronic...) but I never found anything even remotely similar.
Can anybody help me?
Sorry, I don't have 15 posts to be able to post urls, so please copy/paste the links.

P.S.
That song ( youtube.com/watch?v=Hn6aVEpzy8I ) is similar style, maybe it can help you.
They both sound like club/bar ambient music.
Thank you!

I would recommend the song No Dignity.

:(

I'll assume you've heard Orchids 'Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow' and Circle Takes The Squares 'As Roots Undo'

Also, both of La Dispute's albums, especially 'Wildfire'
