I'm sorry but you clearly do not know music or you cannot read I admit that the Maccabees and Oasis are alt/indie bit they are awesome and the original post says name an album that grew on you it doesn't specify what genre AND Linkin Park, Sum 41 AND Nirvana are all AMAZING rock bands with GREAT ALBUMS!

I never thought I'd see the day when a Linkin Park and Sum 41 fan tells someone in an alternative/indie that they don't know music

But since you like Nirvana I suggest that you should look into some of the bands that influenced them, like Melvins, Big Black, Scratch Acid and Mudhoney.

Thanks for the referals:) Did you know that Kurt Cobain also loved the Beatles? Also Linkin Park and Sum 41 are awesome!!!

Please be civil when dealing with other people on boards. That includes not telling people in the music forums that they "clearly do not know music".

We're in the Alt/Indie forum so while that's a very broad and oft-debated genre we do ask people to try and keep in the general area that it encompasses.

Thanks.

My two cents is Ryan Adams Demolition, listen to it, nuff said

Brokentime · 20-07-2012 2:07am

Not sure if anyone'll read this, but you should really check out the album 23 by Blonde Redhead.

Another great one I've listened (again) to lately is Loveless by My Bloody Valentine.

Loveless is a classic, and I'm sure there are many worn vinyl copies lying around.

My new guy (new to me) is Richard Hawley.

I got into Loveless by that kind of shoegaze backdoor. Got into a band called Lush in the start, then to Blonde Redhead, Asobi Seku (all shoegaze), before moving over to My Bloody Valentine. Hearing some of Kevin Shield's music on Lost for Translation was fantastic, too.

Seems that shoegaze, real shoegaze, is a dying breed, though.

What's this Richard Hawley like? I can't get Youtube here.

He's a guy from Sheffield, with a voice like velvet and sings about his tortured/romantic outlook on things. Very smooth. We're not talking shoegaze here!
My wife describes him as a latter day Eddie Cochrane, which is not far off the mark, but don't let that put you off.
Try him on spotify or his site may let you stream some tracks.
He's also a decent guitarist and was briefly in Pulp.

If you're looking for some recent shoegaze, try The War on Drugs. Also Kurt Vile's Smoke Ring for my Halo (I think he may have been part of War on Drugs at one point).

larrykinney · 06-08-2012 6:51am

+90 to all the recommendations for 'Yankee Hotel Foxtrot' by Wilco, prob my favourite record ever. Shortly after its release Jeff Tweedy and Glenn Kotche of Wilco recorded an album under the name 'Loose Fur' (the album was also called Loose Fur) with Jim 'O Rourke, the guy who mixed YHF and produced the follow up, 'A Ghost is Born (also excellent). Tweedy and Kotche also played on 'O Rourkes album 'Insignificance', released around the same time. All these records are v v good and worth checking out IMHO.

Hardly, weakest album of their discography

Suspicious Dave · 14-08-2012 1:23pm

Ah hello.

I'm in a bit of musical lull recently, I can't seem to find anything new that I really love. Very few albums in the last 7 or 8 years have stuck with me longer than a month. I end up going back to the old reliables that I have played to death. I scour review sites and blogs but nothing takes. The old reliables being albums like

QOTSA - Songs for the Deaf
Dredg - El Cielo
Mew - ...And the Glass Handed Kites

but especially Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium. Nothing has ever blown me away as consistently as this does. Power, musicality, dynamics, originality, groove, hooks - it just ticks all my ruddy boxes.

Can anyone suggest any bands/albums that might come close to this?

I think Frames by Oceansize is one of those albums everyone needs in their collection.

The Smiths
R.E.M(there 80's stuff)
Go -Betweens
The Sundays
House of Love
teenage fanclub

any bands today you could suggest that plays this type of indie rock

Weird Dreams do that mid 80's jangle quiet well.

Hi all,
As i left civilized world last year I have no daily contact with the music by way of listening radios, going to gigs,festivals.
Are there any new bands, irish/others you're listening at the moment?
Thanks for inspiration!

Sully34 · 12-09-2012 11:22pm

At the moment I think the Za Za Zoo Zoos New album 'I will know when it finally comes around' is the best thing if heard since William Horn's 'Whistle and I will come' of last year

FionnOh · 16-09-2012 12:16pm

The Minutes are my personal favourite Irish band of the last few years.. They seem to tour constantly and they play a stormer of a set.

'Marcata' was class and the new stuff they played at Phoenix park sounded mint, psyched for their next studio release!!

Here are a couple tracks from The Sadies 2010 album "Dark Circles". The band hails from Toronto, Ontario and has been around for a little over ten years.

The Sound: Alt/Indie and Alternative Country (shades of the Flying Burrito Brothers included) and definitely contains a psychedelic element!

By The Sea. A band from the Wirral. Kinda dreamy pop, with a bit of The Stone Roses influence I think. Debut album out now http://www.piccadillyrecords.com/products/ByTheSea-ByTheSea-DellorsoRecordsGreatPopSupplement-86452.html

Bought Lyyke Li album today called Youth Novels. Class Album. Took a liking to her recent tune 'I follow Rivers' and went to buy the album that is on called 'Wounded Rymes' but they hadn't got it.

Surprised by the quality great mix of tunes and well worth a 10er !

I'm tossing this 1960s track here because it's getting some re-play on alt/indie radio stations. I think it's kind of strange though that I've never heard of the band or this EP before today. Maybe I missed something!

The Band: De Maskers (Nederlands)
The Track: As Long as I Have You
The Sound: Beat

The album that this track comes from came out a bit too late to now be considered a new LP. However..... It was on the radio today and it reminded me that it was worth passing along.

The Band: The Raveonettes (Copenhagen, Denmark)
The Album: Observator (release date: September 2012)
The Track: Sinking with The Sun

This is a good one that might have passed over a few peoples heads, especially younger people(it's from 2002 i think). It's what you would call a "beautiful" album.
