Whos your favorite new band ill start with mine, new rhodes. New rhodes are a Bristol based band, their touring all over the country to promote their album release in april. check them out at [url]www.newrhodes.com:[/url])

Maybe im just being cynical but youre first post being about this new band who just happen to be touring their debut album soon.

Are you in the band and is this a shamless plug?

If not my favourate new artist is bright eyes(around for a while but I only discoverd them recently)

frood4t2 · 17-02-2003 12:29am

Bright Eyes is pretty awesome. I think I'm picking up his latest this week. I'm also a big fan of The Music.

Yeah, I like them too, was thinking of getting the album, anyone know what it's like?

Besides The Music; I really like the Audioslave album.

Megadude · 17-02-2003 4:38pm

Audioslave are awful. An album full of Rock n Roll cliches for 34 year old has-beens. Terrible. Thats why they needed so much explosives in the video. Best new band is probably The Strokes. 'The Music' is alright. Some of it Rocks well, some of it falls really flat. Actually Queens of the Stone Age have an amazing new album. Although the band have been around a while.

:eek:

Has-beens?

HAS-BEENS???

OK, maybe Audioslave's stuff isn't as good as what Soundgarden or Rage were up to, but remember they were two damn good bands.

I think Audioslave rule, next time you hear Cochise on the radio or wherever, turn your stereo up full blast and you'll see why...

Mewzel · 17-02-2003 6:58pm

i gotta say that i loved the last queens of the stone age album too but i dont think you can count them as new!

He also says "Best new band is probably The Strokes" which kind of makes anything else he says worthless.

They're not new, but I've recently started listening to Dispatch. Pretty damn good.

They were the last 'Very talented' new band I heard. I haven't heard anything new yet that surpasses them. Audioslave are terrible. Anyone who writes music will tell you how stale their crap is. So bad. And did you read any reviews of their album. It's hilarious, they rip them to shreds and expose them as the pile of crap they really are. And aswell, 'worst name ever!' It sounds like a website name. Ha ha ha:p

confused old men.

Tyrrial · 18-02-2003 2:12pm

I love brando.... pitty they left me!!
but my heart is still with there music...
the stokes have no REAL talent to speak of, they can keep a ture, i guess that's all ya need now-a-day's.

Giblet · 18-02-2003 3:35pm

Audioslave are pretty good (I like The Strokes somewhat, but a good name?!?).

The Music have to be the biggest pile of shit I have ever heard. The album sounds so badly produced it's cringeworthy.

The guitarist thinks he is John Squire and the singer is a little schweer!

Cheez · 18-02-2003 3:40pm

No i didnt read the reviews,i listened to it myself and liked it
alot. i know people who write music and they think the strokes
are just more retro stale crap but think audioslave(mostly Tom Morrelo they're talkin about tho) are amazing. i dont agree with either i think they're both eually as good and both have fillers on
their albums which i hate but hey,sometimes the fillers fill in moods when ya over listen to albums like these. i dunno

Website name hehe true

I've heard farts that surpass them tbh.

I don't need anyone who writes music or writes about music to tell me what to like. Audioslave are far from amazing but they piss all over The Strokes and any of that pretentious crap.

That pretty much sums up your taste in music...

You like what people tell you to like:rolleyes:

HEIL HOTPRESS!!!

Ha ha ha....what age are you? Audioslave are the pretentious ones. Those lyrics of theirs look like bad junior cert poetry. I don't listen to many new bands coz they can't match the talent and imagination of Artists from the late 60's and 70's. As I said before ACDC's 70's stuff pisses all over Audioslave or any other new crap! So does Beatles, Zeppelin, Floyd, Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Rolling Stones....etc. I could go on, but I think all is lost when Audioslave are decribed as good. I heard that album on the internet and thought it was CRAP! Then I read a review out of curiosity, and they ripped it to bits, coz it is CRAP!

I wouldn't touch Hot Press if I was a leper!

kirn · 19-02-2003 12:58pm

two things:

1. fatnab is indeed in new rhodes.

2. there are some stunning bands on the irish scene emerging. my current favorites are settler, stoat, deputy fuzz and mumblin deaf ro. i delighted to able to say that i've ben listening to these four bands consistently for months!

the sublimed · 19-02-2003 1:20pm

kirn's right - this fatnab guy has been on other boards posting the same spam about new rhodes.

mumblin deaf ro' stuff is nice enough - releasing his album this week and all, storytellin' fingerpickin style stuff. settler's album is pretty good but maybe a bit long (15 tracks?) but they were probably working on it for a long time. boxes are for me one of the most exciting new local acts.

pugwall · 19-02-2003 1:24pm

I really like the thrills. Their Santa Cruise tune is brilliant. I heard a b-side on Phantom which was even better. Tom Dunne plays their forthcoming single quite a bit on petsounds. Best single ive heard in a while.
I think they are the best band to come out of Ireland in years.

Anyone know where i can pich up a copy of the Santa Cruise EP? I tried Tower today but thay didnt have it.

Megadude · 19-02-2003 2:26pm

The Boxes are a really good new band. So are The Chalets, Deputy Fuzz, Moo. I need a while to think of more.........em

Panda · 19-02-2003 2:47pm

"then im gonna fuk you discreetely..."
tbh Tenacious D are the win.

also i like Skindive, not that new (btw their second album should be out soon enough)

i've heard that audioslave are good, must give that album a listen...

bombidol · 19-02-2003 3:00pm

What happened to my post?

Morello · 19-02-2003 3:46pm

I like a lot Indigo Fury from Northern Ireland, Mumblin deaf ro, and Mor..*chough*

[Besides how pretentious that sounds...] So why do you listen to talentless drivel like The Strokes?

Actually, I don't even know why I'm posting this, I don't actually care.

And yea, Tenacious D are teh win :]

Mewzel · 20-02-2003 8:59pm

i've heard some pretty good things about bright eyes, not sure if it constitutes as new though...

Explain exactly why you think my comment was pretentious? The Strokes are fun. A bit too retro. Not too deep, but thats not what they're about.

AdMMM · 21-02-2003 7:05pm

My fave new band is probably The Strokes... They have been around for a while but I have only discovered their briliant album (Is This It) recently.

I couldn't say it better. It's understandable why the Strokes wouldn't be everyone's style. I think they're great, but I fear a huge backlash upon the arrival of a second Strokes album.

Kali · 21-02-2003 10:09pm

Simian are pretty funky... though they're on their second album now (first was out in 2001), still doubt many ppl have heard of them though.

Been listening to Interpols "Turn On The Bright Lights" a lot recently as well.. anyone who likes And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead and that sorta stuff should be well happy.. they're a pretty newish band as well, only started gigging in 2000 or so, anyway that albums worth a listen.

Pigman II · 22-02-2003 1:24am

Is this a trick question to which the answer is 'The Hives'?

Interpol are my fav new band followed by Ladytron, Melys, Joy Zipper and Crimea.

pugwall · 22-02-2003 4:51pm

I picked up Interpols "Turn On The Bright Lights" today in Virgin Henry St for E9.99. Im well impressed. It appeared on a few end of year top 10 lists last year. What a bargain:D

Found out that the thrills 'santa cruz' EP is now a collectors item and that theres no chance ill get a copy.:mad:

polarbelly · 02-03-2003 6:56pm

is he the one with that song called spark(s)? i love that song but aint been too sure who it was by

projectmayhem · 02-03-2003 8:10pm

they're not really new but most people have/will never hear of them, "finch"... good emo stuff.
also a british band called "inme" are probably going to be huge in the future, and their album is pretty damn good stuff.

i like audioslave, but i wouldn't shower them with compliments.

best new band ever: six.

and that was my first post.

Mewzel · 05-03-2003 7:07pm

and now that im sure who its by, i can go get me a copy, hoo-yeah! (presuming that road have it that is)

polarbelly · 05-03-2003 8:48pm

they should have it, i got mine there bout a fortnight ago, it was the last one at the time but tadhg said that he stocked them up again

Mewzel · 06-03-2003 8:24pm

he better have or there will be anger! oh so much anger!

Megadude · 10-03-2003 12:52pm

Neosupervtal is my favourite new band. But its just one guy. I thought he was excellent. He plays a Synth guitar, accompanied by a drum machine. His voice is really good though, and his songs are quite bright, positive sounding. Even chilled out. The wierdest sounds I've ever heard come out of a guitar. Like a cross between Daft Punk, Air, Lou Reed. I recommend everyone go see him. I saw him a couple of weeks ago at the Chalets single launch in Whelans. They were brilliant too. But Neosupervital is new to me.

whos your favorite new band?
