secret machines?
 

anyone like em?

i think nowhere again is a kickass song

I like em alot. You know they did some for the Across the Universe soundtrack?

Made one relatively decent album then proceeded in releasing mediocrity thereafter. Nowhere again is indeed a good tune, shame about 2/3 of the rest of their material.

i am quite a fan of secret machines. i think now here is nowhere (kickass album name) is a great record. i reccomend listening to lightning blue eyes. great song

now here is nowhere (cool name) is a great record. songs like the leaves are gone are amazing. i also reccomend the tune lightning blue eyes

personally, I like their last album best. When I first saw them a few years back the concert was nearly sold out and saw them last year and it barely filled up half of the same hall. I just equate it to people not knowing what is good and not keeping up with a good band. Like them better with the new guitarist as well. Shame they are probably just going to drop off the face of the planet because most people like sucky music.

honestly, when I see posts about Radiohead on here nonstop and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs it is no surprise that most people aren't intelligent enough to grasp something off the beaten path. I say that not to beat home a point but just to affirm my thoughts that most people don't listen to music by forming their own taste but by adopting others. I generally try to listen to samples from an album before reading any review. I don't think most people on this forum do that, which is why I generally skip to further pages to find good bands that may have been mentioned once.

Secret Machines would be one of the biggest bands in the world if not for the internet and MTV because you have to actually make quality music in order for it to get disseminated in a world where radio holds weight. Like recently when I saw Cake in concert, the lead singer kept joking about just sending the audience ringtones rather than making an album.

Stu, you are just wrong. If the only good track you can mention is Nowhere Again, then clearly you are just mentioning their only mainstream song and ignoring the rest of their catalogue. You want to dismiss them yet can't weigh in on any of their other songs. That is just useless.

well put, the dp. i sadly havent listened to their new record enough to consider myself a big fan of it, but if im not mistaken there were some pretty great songs being generated. secret machines are a really epic group and i enjoy what theyre doing. if they would come to my hometown, i would gladly watch

They are an extremely underrated band.

I had never listened to them until Thursday night when they opened for Trail of Dead. Let's just say they earned a new fan that night....
