Don`t You Just Hate It When ......
 

You ask people to recommend new bands that you might like & all they can come up with is bands that have been around for years or whatever happens to be flavour of the month at that moment.

Whatever happened to individuality. I`d love to get into some new bands , bands that are doing something different, of any genre .Pushing the boundaries of what music can be,bands who use music as art rather than just trying to flog their product to 15 year old emo kids.

But I have a feeling I won`t hear that. I swear MTV was the worst thing ever to happen in music.

Wanna put up an example so we know what your talking about?

sissy spacek
black eyes
Pelican
LA QUIETE
Xiu Xiu
Do Make Say Think

meh, yeah mtv sucks if you want to hear anything new, but that's old news. Check the recomend a new band thread, yeah a lot of the bands listed have been around for a very long time, but you might see something you haven't heard yet.

no, i hate it when people start talking about the 10000 bands that you don't know and that you probably won't hear of very soon.

Black eyes and xiu xiu are really good. Have you listened to Joan of Arc?l

Yeah but that way you'll probably find something new that you havent heard of before. Theres not so many ways to find new music now.

Xiu xiu (Experimental rock)
Do make say think (Just listen)
A silver mt zion (Godspeed side project)
Sons and Daughters (Really dark bluesy rock)
Efterklang (Also pretty experimental)
Iron and Wine (Lo-fi acoustic stuff)
Sunn o))) (I think they're new, bit difficult to get into at first)
The Go! Team (The reason I get up in the morning)

I sense that may have been a sarcastic post, but in any case, there's plenty of ways to find new music now, with the abundance of music channels, music magazines, radio shows, file sharing programmes and music chatrooms.

Nope, not sarcastic, just that there's loads of bands who wont get a mention in magazines or get aired on tv or radio.. But yeah youve got music chatrooms and stuff, but thats my point; its still someone else telling you about the band.
