Re: Official Rock music thread

Oh hell yeah.



You sound like someone who might have similar tastes to mine. Try checking out Slacker's Alternative station. I've spent countless dollars because of music I found there. Got stuff like Matt and Kim, Sleigh Bells, The Airborne Toxic Event, Black Keys, The Drums, Family of the Year, etc etc.

Then again, if you start listening to it and think "man, this GIGGAS guy is a complete idiot", I apologize.

GIGGAS, I'm pretty sure that thinking that you're an idiot is some kind of OS crime.

Then the guy on Octane on XM doesn't know his **** lol.

Has anyone ever heard of Parabelle? It has the old lead singer of Evans Blue, Kevin Matisyn, as well as the producer/guitarist from Framing Hanley.

Here is probably my favorite song from them, but most of their work is good. Its a mix of some hardcore, some mellow, but great vocals regardless.

Parabelle is an awesome band.

My friend's band opened for them at a show here in Baltimore last year.

I'm sure there are those out there that think I am regardless. Those outlaw rapscallions!

Re: Official Rock music thread

The local Rock station here in Rochester just announced it's annual Bonzai Fest concert lineup:

Oberhofer
Walk The Moon
The Gaslight Anthem
Our Lady Peace
Eve 6
The Offspring

Totally going cause I've loved each of the last 3 bands for 10-15 years. Haven't really listened to The Gaslight Anthem much but I do like what I've heard by them. Haven't heard of the other 2 bands though.

The Gaslight Anthem is solid. When I first got into 500 Miles to Memphis, I set up a Pandora station with them and ended up getting a lot of The Gaslight Anthem's stuff and I really enjoy their music.

Fastball....

A group that I personally like alot and are criminally under the radar. They are best known for their song "The Way". A good song, but I can't for the life of me figure out why they haven't become a mainstream hit outside of that song. They could probably be classified as Adult Contempary these days, as they aren't hard rock by any means. Alot of melody and harmonized vocals (Kind of Beatles like). Anyways, here's a couple of their well known tracks off their most off their most well know album "All The Pain Money Can Buy"

I would also highly recommend their cd Keep Your Wig On.

Re: Official Rock music thread

Yeaaa Fastball and Clutch are both good bands. Have to credit the Left 4 Dead 2 commercial for introducing me to Clutch hahaha

New Motion City sounds good. This coming from someone who wasn't into the past 2 releases after really loving "Commit This To Memory" and "I Am the Movie."

Wow, flashback. The album with these two songs came out not too long after I got my first car. We listened to that CD a lot driving around. I'm going to have to fire that one up on Spotify sometime soon.

Smashing Pumpkins

Really? Their last album I listened to (Zeitgeist) was horrid. Hoping this one is a little better. I see they've actually come out with something that I missed. Anyone have an opinion on that one?

Re: Official Rock music thread

Anybody listen to the Japandroids? Two-piece straight up rock band. New album out today.

Call Me No One, side project from Clint Lowery and Morgan Rose of Sevendust, released their debut album today. Looking forward to picking this one up. I've heard nothing but good reviews so far.

Re: Official Rock music thread

I'm sorry, but it's not the Smashing Pumpkins anymore. Much like Guns N Roses/Rose, it's Corgan milking the group name for big bucks. I can't wait for Breaking Benjamin's Burnley to do the same. When there is only one remaining original member, it's time to call it a day and start a solo project. Wait...Corgan and Rose tried and couldn't make money, so they continued in their former bands name .
