The Indie & Alternative Recommendation Thread

Karengirl · 12-22-2018, 03:17 AM

Hi,

Thinking this forum/thread might be right place to find some new (or new to me) artists.

Bands I'm currently into:
Metric
Kasabian
Catherine Steel
The Dandy Warhols
Razorlight
Blue Stones
The Charlatans (I have strong Britpop leanings)
The Raconteurs (giddy they're releasing new material now w/new album for '19!)

Strong likes from several years ago:
Divine Fits (A Thing Called Divine Fits was on heavy rotation several years ago; forever hopeful they'll do another: it's Superduo Britt Daniel/Spoon (indie sweetheart) and Dan Boeckner/Wolf Parade
Love and Rockets
Jesus and Mary Chain
New Order
Chris Isaak

Always in rotation:
Garbage
Beady Eye
The Strokes

Especially Love blending of guitars with electronics.
Not esp. fond of low-fi, Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Black Angels.

Suggestions welcome and thanks much!

i try not to reommend more than 2-3 stuff but you probably already know someof them so:
[i should say maybe the electronic element you mentioned is either absent or not playing a big role (more in production than in front line if i can describe it as such), so if its important to you....ignore them]

flaming lips a soft bulletin
lush- lovelife
cake- pressure chief
still corners 1st album
the do -both ways open jaws
john frusciante - the empyrean
