    I'm really into technical, intricate bands like foals, redneck manifesto and minus the bear. Problem is really good stuff is hard to find- recently have been enjoying enemies and adebisi shank but I'd kinda like to listen to that kind of stuff, except with lyrics.

    Any suggestions?

    Brilliant, thanks for that. Right up my street. Reminds me of Drive like Jehu a little bit, but a bit more subdued.

    I'd recommend Cursive's 'Domestica' to anyone, it's fantastic. Shift dynamics, intricate guitar riffs and incredible songwriting (the whole thing's based on the breakdown of a relationship, but steers well clear of the self-loathing teen emo thing, the use of language and metaphors is masterful in itself without the brilliance of the music).

    Impossible to namedrop similar bands, cos I genuinely can't think of anyone they sound like...just buy or download it and enjoy from first track...you get engulfed in the story. Genius.

    All right another one, Ive been having trouble finding quality new bands to listen to of late.

    Some of my favourite bands are The Libertines, Brian Jonestown Massacre (mid/late 90's), Stones (60's/early 70's) and I'll throw in Velvet Underground and BRMC to define it a bit better

    Basically I'm just looking for bands that have a sort of psychadelic/country & blues sound (or whatever you'd call it?) but I cant find many that I genuinely like

    Chemicrazy from That Petrol Emotion is a smashing album.

    Dublin Gone, Everybody Dead from Dublin band The Jimmy Cake is also great, for fans of post rock.

    Geogaddi from Boards of Canada is super electronica music, as is most albums from Plaid (especially Not For Threes and Double Figure)

    Homogenic from Bjork, just because its great.

    Deja Vu from Crosby Stills Nash and Young, great old music.

    Entroducing from DJ Shadow, one of the best albums of the ninties.

    Most Yo La Tengo albums, I love Summer Sun the most.

    All Nine Inch Nails albums up until The Fragile. I love Trent, he makes good music.

    Some of those could already have been mentioned but I only just noticed this thread....

    I always listen to Klaxons, Kasabian, Biffy Clyro, Vampire Weekend, Bloc Party, Mumford and Sons, the Killers and Hurts.

    Just looking to try and broaden my horizons somewhat. Any suggestions?

    Based on the bands you've listed, here's a few things I reckon would be worth checking out that you might like-

    Death Cab for Cutie- We have the facts and we're voting yes.
    Les Savy Fav- The cat and the cobra
    Manchester Orchestra- Like a virgin losing a child
    We Were Promised Jetpacks- These four walls
    Minus the Bear- Menos el Oso
    Pretty Girls Make Graves- Good Health
    This Town Needs Guns- Animals
    The Twilight Sad- Fourteen Autumns and fifteen Winters
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs- Fever to Tell

    All good indie records, and most of those bands have a good few records so plenty to check out if you do like them.

    Haven't listened to Land Speed Record but they've better albums than Everything Falls Apart. Warehouse: Songs And Stories, in particular, boasts a plethora of brilliantly poppy songs. Just mentioning that one because it's always overlooked and deemed to be in the shadow of New Day Rising, Flip Your Wig and Zen Arcade.

    Everything Falls Apart (And More) is well worth checking out as well but it's not really as accessible as their later work.

    Menomena - Friend and Foe
    Menomena - Mines

    It's no secret that I'm a big fan of these guys but their last two albums I think have been just phenomenally good. (See what I did there? ;))

    From the Friend and Foe opener Muscle'n Flo until Intil the closer on their latest release Mines they'll pull you in completely with a sound that puts them out there on their own in the world of indie rock. To me they sound original, fresh and inspiring and at the same time comfortingly familiar. And I really don't know why that is because I can't namecheck a current band that they could ever be mistaken for.

    No word yet on an Irish date in their near future but since they're in the UK in early December, let's hope they make the jump across to visit our shores.

    Here's the aforementioned opening track from Friend and Foe:

    to be honest i've never seen them live so I can't compare the album to their shows but I've had it on repeat since I bought it. It's not the perfect record-there's the odd cringy lyric and one track in particular sounds rather too much like the libertines' what katie did but these are small criticisms really, it's still a really interesting listen, best irish album i've picked up in ages.

    Have to agree saw her live in Vicker st a few years back excellent gig . Hell among the Yearlings is also worth a listen.
    Cant agree about Band of Horses Infinite Arms thought it was dreadful- Cease to Begin is far superior imo.

    One of the better albums I've heard lately was Monsters of Folk -Check out this song I think its incredible!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAG1n5E6Z-o&feature=related

    Also check out RSAG -Be it right or wrong ( real Talkin Heads feel) Jeremy Hickey -Go on de cats!!!

    Both Rolo Tomassi records are fantastic - Hysterics and Cosmology. Highly recommended for fans of Biffy Clyro (they're one of Biffy's favourite bands), The Fall of Troy, or anyone with an open mind! It's pretty mental math rock with elements of synth-pop, indie and straight up metal :)
