Music you just discovered

[staika]

The most recent band I discovered was this russian metalcore band that I like. I can't understand what they're saying but I like it anyway.

Your avatar is frightening on SCP Containment Breach levels, bro.

I know that and that is one of the reasons it is my avatar. But it's mostly since I love dolan duck and I love the dolan face

While searching Pantera on youtube I found Dixie Hustler, Texas Hippie Coalition.
I recently was introduced to Gogol Bordello (Ukranian-New York Folk-Punk), for me a logical progression from Alestorm (Scottish Pirate Metal) and Turisas (Finnish Viking Metal), what can I say, I like the obscure genres

 

[DanielBrown]

Well, I came across this band a while ago. A Japanese band that plays Swedish trallpunk. Blew my mind... not only did I think Swedish trallpunk was unheard of outside of Sweden, but they (try to) sing in Swedish as well!


Bonus song to spread the genre some more;

 

[Davih]

A finnish pop rock band called Indica.

Hm, who's the last band I discovered? A friend posted a Turisas song this morning that was pretty good. Haven't checked out their stuff yet though. I went to a live show a few weeks ago with a band called The Program Initiative. They play instrumental post rock/metal from behind a screen where they project a video tying into their overall concept. It was kickass.

But if we're talking about well known acts, probably Gojira, goddamn can they put on a live show.

I've recently discovered Get Scared and Hands Like Houses:

 

[Sonicron]

Discovered Lo-Pro a few days ago. Me likey.
I'm especially hooked on the song 'Texas'.

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

Since Spotify finally became available in Germany a few months ago I have done a lot of exploring in terms of new music and bands. And today I visited Youtube to get myself a taste of the latest Diablo Swing Orchestra single - and guess what? I've been clicking around cool new music in the last 3 hours or so....

Anyway, here's some recently discovered awesome stuff

Spoiler: Swing Oriented

Well, that happens when you follow up leads from the Diablo Swing Orchestra....

​

Spoiler: Progressive Rock/Metal

Some rather normal progressive stuff...


....and then some awesome instrumental stuff

​

Spoiler: Avantgarde

I really need to buy all their albums now - EVERY SINGLE ONE:


...and some random art-rock stuff

...and some random Mike Patton stuff I discovered recently. The makers evidently decided just to put up the whole album as a live concert on youtube...so enjoy...


​

Spoiler: Other Stuff

The album Cities from The Cat Empire is just insanely awesome....


...as are Ravel's Miroirs.

​

*tips hat* Now back to lurking....

 

[Fat Hippo]

I just started listening to some Jeff Buckley. Not in the least bit new to many people, but I hadn't heard much of it before, and it's really quite good.

 

[dark-mortality]

I quite literally discovered a group/artist named Passenger of shit five minutes ago... It's... Interesting is maybe the way to put it.

I like them a bit, but like hell if I will ever go to a concert where they play.

 

[Kahunaburger]

I just discovered this:


while looking for a video to post in a Diablo 3 thread, and it's everything that's wrong with hipsters and their music in a nutshell. Twin. Lens. Reflex. Cameras. Do. Not. Work. That. Way. Neither does photo development.

 

[Cowabungaa]

A few examples:

Me Gusta.

 

[Deathmageddon]

Awesome british unblock metal band called Wintersoul (not to be confused with the goth band Winter Soul), and a finnish (I think) Melodeath band called Immortal Souls. Good stuff.

 

[Chromatic Aberration]

they're probably more popular than I'm giving them credit for [...]

In fact they are.

They had some hit singles in the early 00's around here if I recall correctly - case in point "Kumba Yo!":

I'd also recommend Lords Of The Boards, Open Your Eyes and Big In Japan...

Thanks btw of bringing their new album to my attention - never thought they'd get together again after their hiatus years back....

 

[Tarminuus]

Video Game-themed American speed metal band, Powerglove. Their cover of the Pokemon theme is incredible.

 

[BartyMae]

None, really. All the artists I listen to I've been listening to for over a year. Can't really find too many that I enjoy listening to.

 

[Launcelot111]

I just heard Julia Holter for the first time the other day after buying her new album on a whim. She's super quiet and subtle and all her songs peak in super subdued ways and just kind of drift along in a fascinating little haze. It's a departure from 90% of my playlist, but whatever, it's good stuff

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I haven't really started listening to anything completely new; I've been getting much more into Nine Inch Nails recently, but I've always been vaguely aware of Trent Reznor being awesome. I think it took a while to get into, it's not all quite as depressing as a lot of people think.

 

[Death Carr]

Baby Metal.
I read about them in Otaku USA magazine.
They're a japanese metal band, but the singers are all schoolgirls. 14, 12, and 12.
Its not what I normally listen to, but its not metal enough that I can't stand it.
