most influential band to you (lyrics, jazz, punk, album)

KRUGER · 08-28-2006, 04:15 PM

throughout my years listening to punk and emo there have been a lot of bands that i have really gotten a lot of inspiration from. some are

ampre
circle takes the square
orchid
you and i
welcome the plague year

and i have been listening to ruhaeda almost religiously lately. sometimes i feel like these lyrics are a story of my life too. maybe you've had the same experience.

Awesome listt, add Saetia/Hot Cross, Cap'n Jazz, Trophy Scars (pre-alphabets), Thursday, Million Dead, Bloody Brothers, Fall Of Troy, Converge and mines the same. Well roughly, maybe Ampere, You & I, and Welcome The Plague year would be lower then some other bands.

it were to seem that you an myself have a very similar taste in music, that's awesome. i am sure you know that wtpy, hot cross, you and i, and saetia all share similar members. many of whom i went to high school with. i have a couple of questions for you, "Crowquill, that is an obvious reference to ctts correct, and when you cite bloody brothers, is that a different band from the blood brothers. thursday, converge, cap'n jazz and fot are almost always in my cd rotation, all though i've never heard of trophy scars or million dead. are they good, any comparisons?

Million Dead are a british post-hardcore band, really good great lyrics. Similar to like, Reuben or At the Drive-In.

Trophy scars are an emo/post-hardcore band they're very good. Except, their latest album isn't that great, its just kind of boring. Don't listen to any of the songs that are like, "A*word. A*word*s". Listen to like, cats and sleep little nemo. Make sure you listen to Jerrys the name on their myspace its probaly my favorite song by them.

The Minutemen are such a big inspiration and influence to me. So intelligent, unique, passionate, fun, diverse, honest, talented and...yeah you get the picture. They did what they wanted, and in those days the idea that a bunch of untrained, working-class kids could pick up instruments and make such great and interesting music was practically unheard of. That's something which has inspired so many people, myself included.

Other bands that've inspired/influenced:

Black Flag
Dead Kennedys
Jawbreaker

and lately Sonic Youth.

And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead.
