Cornea is in you EYE FYI.



Terra Naomi is quite good. She won an award on YouTube. Saw her in London the other day.

I'd have to say totally check out:

matt pond PA (their last album, Last Light is awesome)

spoon (Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga, with an album named so, do I have to say more?)

cursive (happy hollow, but not a hollow sound by any means)

john vanderslice (emerald city, wish i could live there)

okkerville river (the stage names, don't we all use them?)

Can anyone me recommend me something that's either similar to Modest mouse or Stereophonics?

Thanks in advance.

Modest Mouse: Pixies, Wolf Parade, Neutral Milk Hotel
Stereophonics: Dunno really, i can only think of bands they ripped off a bit like The Verve and Oasis so try them if you haven't already.

Thanks in advance.

if you like modest mouse check out built to spill.

[sleepy jack]

Yeah I'm going to add on to the Built to Spill/Pixies suggestions by telling you Modest Mouse's two biggest influences are Built to Spill and Pixies and many times they sound like a combination of both.

[enemyat_thesix]

to compare Modest Mouse to Built to Spill or Pixies is a bit unfair. they may be influenced by both, but have a very unique sound, nonetheless. furthermore, I would argue that MM are better songwriters and musicians than BTS or Pixies.

if you like MM, I'd recommend Foals. they sound like a dance-punk'd MM

[sleepy jack]

Um, if you listen to stuff like Debaser you can basically hear quite a bit of Isaac Brock's vocal style in a nutshell. I don't think its that farfetched to suggest someone who likes Modest Mouse would like both bands since the influences are pretty apparent.

I don't see it. This may be because i can't stand Foals.

[enemyat_thesix]

i've drawn that comparison to a lot of people and they've said it's spot on.
