Good, lesser-known songs....
Hey guys, I'm trying to find some new music to d/l to expand my collection and I was wondering what some good lesser-known songs/bands are. Alternative, punk, maybe some emo...
What do you listen to?

propaghandi, anti-flag, ten foot poll, H2O, operation ivy, rancid, nofx, common rider, millencolin, lagwagon, hi standard, good riddance, and if you want some chill irsh punk check out flogging molly or dropkick murphys. they arnt for everyone, but i like em. that covers most ends of punk, unless you want something like crass, but i for some reason doubt that

From Autumn to Ashes. Finch. Coheed & Cambria. Thursday is probably my favorite band for right now. I tend to go through phases. Radiohead is always good. This is pretty much what I have been listening to steadily for the past few weeks. It changes depending on my mood.

I'm sorry that you missed it. Want to hear something really shitty? Well, the one that I went to was in NY and it was in the middle of the summer and we were in a draught. So there was all this dust up in the air near all the bands from kids dancing. It was sooooooo thick. I had such a hard time breathing. They were selling Michael Jackson masks because of this. Also, it was like 100 degrees out.

not your style but certainly lesserknown is the CD that i've been listening to for the last month without listening to ANYTHING else is Alizée - Gourmandises. she's french and sings pop. i set my personal record listening to her cd. in 2 days i listened to one song set on repeat from that cd for a total of 11 hours.
her site: www.moi-alizee.com yes there is an english version once you get past the flash intro. look to the top-right. i know some french so its very interesting to me. actually i think i'm going to change my avy and sig here once i get internet on my computer. most of my other forums are her now. btw... you can dl her songs on Kazaa (and music vids) to get an idea of what they sound like. the CD can be purchased online internationally through Tower Records for 18 bucks. not bad for imported goods. |

Finch...I've heard one song of theirs that I'm in love with. I believe it's called 3 words or 3 simple words...something to that extent. I like the uh, I guess I should say layering of the vocals. They're coming to CT w/From Autumn to Ashes in Feb. Or so I'm told but I know that I'm def going if that is in fact the case.

if any of you guys are around the Atlanta area, then you may have heard this group, they are called Group X. They are an "Arabic" rap group. Really, its like 3 white guys from Tennesse, with accents, and they rap kinda like KoRn. They are hilarious, i highly suggest them...

I don't understand how they're "Arabic" if they're from Tennesee. Is it a poser accent like that of Shaggy?

I know that everyone likes different things so I'm really not trying to knock anyone. I'm just merely stating my opinion as we're on the subject of music. The majority of rap really just annoys me. I'm really not into music that I can't relate to in one way or another. I really don't like to hear about hittin it from the back or Missy Elliot's thong or her cha cha or how this guy busted a cap or. There are rappers that I do like. Not because of what they say but just because of how it's presented. I don't know if that sounds right. Basically, it's just all about the beats. Ludakris. Busta. The BigTimers. 50 cent is ok too. In regard to Busta, the man has mad talent. In terms of hard core music combined with rap, it is all about Candiria.
