I've been really into An Horse lately, and I was looking for some similar-sounding music?

Charlemagne · 07-22-2010, 03:39 PM

I love An Horse, they are amazing. I would suggest...well Tegan and Sara but I'm sure you already know them...umm...Iron On, Tender Forever, Rachael Cantu, maybe One For The Team.

^Thank you! I haven't heard of Iron On, Tender Forever, or One For The Team - but I will certainly check them out.

I really like One for the Team as well. These guys are possibly one of favourite bands:

You should check them out

You'll enjoy Iron On, it's Kate Cooper's first band, and they are really awesome. Linkage!

I'm looking for bands that sound like the Libertines and Death Cab anything would be great.

I listened to Bertie Blackman recently...I like her song 'Byrds of Prey'...sounds a lot like Muse...but her songs have more percussion in them...more tribal drums...

Learning. Just wondering how you folks in alternative and indie land feel about this title. What's the scene in New York City and around the country.

And, has there been a festival in this genre lately. Who are the go to people in this arena. Are musicians making any money, or are you still doing the starving artists deal?

Be kind.

So, I'm big into Indie/Alternative music myself, and I know this guy isn't really either of those, but he's pretty good! Newer artist on Decca Records. Just found his new video on Youtube. The name's Brendan James.

Anyone know of any bands that have pop and funk elements like the chili peppers, plus a jazz influence?

For example, maybe like the band 'Jazz Pistols' with vocals (for example)

any ideas?
