Good New Non-Electronic Music

jono · #1 (**permalink**) Aug 25, 04

By "non-electronic" I mean play in a band... could be anything from folk to metal, from reggae to punk.

I'm pretty up to date on hip-hop so no need to list all the good new hip-hop.

I'm looking for some good new bands or some recent bands that are worth checking out.

A couple that I have discovered, although they may not exactly be recent are Modest Mouse and John Butler Trio. If you haven't heard anything from these 2 and are still into music made with instruments; they're definitely worth a listen.

Any suggestions?

Chevelle is one of the only newer bands i actually like.

Their first and second album are really good , the new one is coming out in a month and is supposed to be even better.

If you like the old school doowop sound from the 60's then check out Johnny Maestro and the Brooklyn Bridge.

'Wiretap Scars' by Sparta and the new Franz Ferdinand album are 2 new cds that are worth checking out.

I know enough people will recommend Hiphop , so I'll switch gears.

Great Irish singer, Damien Rice ( not new, I saw him on the Tom Green show first time i ever heard about him ) . Download "The Blowers Daughter" , and I guarantee you'll be shocked.

Uhh... last time I checked, Hip-hop was electronic :silly:

Some say hip-hop is electronic and others don't... either way I said that I'm pretty up to date on hip-hop so no need to list it in this thread.

I'd be glad to contribute to another thread looking for new hip-hop though.

for punk stuff.. dig up any old ( and recent i suppose) BAD BRAINS if you haven't ever rocked a Brains album, And maybe something from THE EX - Dutch artpunk that still consistently kicks ass 20+ years later - still releasing records that don't suck, unlike ALL OTHER bands of old.. (except maybe THE FALL). Boh!

THE EX.

Also XIU XIU is a good band as of late, - noizy, minimal, sparse, and very lo-fi Joy Division sounds, in a good way, and not at all sub-par, cliche Division ripoff shit either. Got it?

FAKECOPS from Calgary are pretty good, the most un-prarie sounding band coming outta Cowtown about now - think really good Discord Recs stuff, Nation of Ulysses/Make-UP, CIRCUS LUPUS, etc. and rythmic hardcore National Acrobat styles. Rythmic pulsating punk rock. GOOD GOOD!!

your reading comprehension seems to be on par with your articulation of the english language.

in other words... you suck.

I'm currently a big fan of the Kidney Thieves... yeah sure it sounds like industrial, but it's actually all band.

Terrorgruppe is good German Punk... When I don't listen to Electronic Music I like a lot of Punk. Bad Religion etc... MILLENCOLIN!!! They are awesome, get some stuff by them, my fave track is "Penguins and Polar Bears".

I've been into a band called Do Make Say Think lately... they are sort of melodic instrumental rock, but more different than. Good stuff.
