Music recommendation thread

[LOAF]

<p>I am not sure if this thread exsists but I did look and could not find it so........</p><p>I am a big fan of music and unfortunately there is not much good music on the radio these days.</p><p>I figured that we can help each other out by posting some good &quot;underground&quot; music that most of us can't hear on the radio like local bands. I personally would love some recommendations!!</p><p>I will start with this one....</p><p>Ballyhoo!</p><p>there website is <a href="http://www.ballyhoorocks.com/">www.ballyhoorocks.com</a> or <a href="http://www.myspace.com/ballyhoo">www.myspace.com/ballyhoo</a></p><p>They are an unsigned band out of Maryland. They have a very similar sound to Sublime and put on a great live show.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Hey guys,*&gt;<span class="Apple-style-span">On tuesday Dovecote Records released <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic">There Is A Moth In Your Chest</span> by Mason Proper. You can check out the band at their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/masonproper">myspace page</a>. If you dig it you can buy the album from iTunes but if you collect vinyl we did a really cool promotional thing with one of my favorite record stores in the country. <a href="http://www.shakeitrecords.com/Shakeit-album.php/id=587/">Shake It Records</a> in Cincinnati is selling the record for 12 bucks and you get a free picture disc 7&quot; of the single &quot;My My (Bad Fruit)&quot; as well as a signed poster. But you can also get the record at your local record store. Anyways I hope you dig it, they'll be playing at the Gramercy Theatre (a new venue in manhattan) with Birdmonster on March 31st. </span>*&gt;Thanks again duders.*&gt;C <p>&nbsp;</p>

[jetdog]

<p>I've listened to some of Carter's music on their myspace page, they can throw down.&nbsp; the only thing I can think of to compare it to is a band like Hot Water Music. </p><p>Some more music to recommend, depending on what you like:</p><p>Firewater - for all you drinkers out there</p><p>Tin Hat Trio - for all you avant garde blue-grass fans</p><p>Gogol Bordello - for all you Eastern European punk rock fans</p><p>Allman Brothers Band at Fillmore East - for all you fans of music. (Holy Shit)<br /> </p><p>Jets to Brazil - for all you emotion filled post-teens and fans of unreal lyricism</p><p>Anything by Joe Strummer - just beacause he was the fucking coollest person to ever live.&nbsp;</p>

[hedges]

The Cadillac Angels, originally out of California, you can definitely hear a Link Wray influence. Awesome live..

Aren't the Dresden Dolls a two-piece outfit (drums and piano), or am I mistaking them with someone else?

[jetdog]

I mentioned him before in this thread, but I really feel I have to reiterate him with this band in particular: I've been listening to Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros lately, and I have to say the work he did with this group is unreal, after hearing this I would have to say that Joe Strummer is probably one of the most underatted songwriters (compared to his contemperaries, Elvis Costello, Shane McGowan, etc.).

Re: Silversun Pickups- The album is Carnavas- $6.98 at Target. Great album.

Amy Winehouse is also a very strong suggestion. Unfortunately, she'll be dead before any of us get to check her out live.

[JohnWC]

I write this a few days ago in another music thread.. but I think its relevant here.

New stuff I'm listening to:

Kings of Leon - Because of the Times

Dr. Dog - We All Belong. These guys are from Philly. Rolling Stone just did an article on them. Anyone heard of them?

LCD Soundsystem - Sound of Silver

The new Arcade Fire album is great too. Just got tickets to see them at Radio City.

Also an old album I just picked up is Van Morrison - Its Too Late to Stop Now. Its a live album from the 70s and its great.

[J.Clints]

I know most of you are not country fans but the new Tim Mcgraw Is very good. Download it if you have a chance.

Jesu - Silver EP

I'm going to be ordering their other 2 albums soon, but I recently stumbled upon this. Very heavy, but I think this particular release is a lot more inviting because of the vocal style.I f you liked Filter at all, check this out. (not that it's a lot like Filter, but his vocals kind of remind me of Richard Patrick's)
