Just rediscovered this band. Don't know how I ever forgot about them. Also, I am interested in listening to more rock bands similar to this, if anyone has any recs!
Been listening to a lot of Ezra Furman recently. Kind of a mix between Conor Oberst and Jeff Rosenstock.
I randomly just discovered an incredible band earlier today and laid around listening to anything and everything by them I could find all night. I wish I heard of this band years ago. I'm blown away. Their name is "Strange Vacation". On Apple Music they have 2 albums. The more recent "Ghosts" and before that a record called "Chasm". On YouTube you can find a lot of their stuff too including an older set of demos on a demo release called "Thunderstorms". At times they sound like "The Dangerous Summer" but this band is way better IMO. Ghosts - YouTube
Can we ask for recommendations in here too? Some of my favorites bands/albums are AFI (Sing the Sorrow, Crash Love) Anberlin (Cities) Blink-182 (Untitled, Enema of the State) Brand New (The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, Deja Entendu) Green Day (American Idiot) Jimmy Eat World (Futures) My Chemical Romance (The Black Parade) Yellowcard (Ocean Avenue, When You’re Through Thinking Say Yes) 30 Seconds to Mars (A Beautiful Lie, This Is War) Who else should I listen to, and what’s their best album? Are there still great bands making music in this style, or is the heyday over?
I'm in to most of those bands and these days I find myself listening to a lot of these albums most often: Too Close To Touch - Haven't Been Myself Awaken I Am - Blind Love Senses Fail - If There is Light it will find you Breathe Atlantis - Soulmade Carousel Kings - Charm City Bearings - Blue in the Dark Dead Girls Academy - Alchemy Picturesque - Back to Beautiful Palisades - Erase the Pain Real Friends - Composure And old album or two I always go back to: Over it - Silverstrand The Spill Canvas - One Fell Swoop The Spill Canvas - No Really, I'm Fine The Spill Canvas - Sunsets and Car Crashes Something Corporates entire discography Jack's Mannequin - Everything in Transit I'll stop there for now...you may know all these albums already though.
For people that missed my earlier recommendation of Kim Petras, she released three great new songs this past week, one of which features SOPHIE.
gonna post a couple playlists to follow ! if you like mellow and/or old school hiphop: if you like psychedelic rock: if you like pop punk/punk rock:
Thanks! I’ve been in a musical rut for a while, I’ve only listened to Something Corporate, Jack’s Mannequin, and Senses Fail from that list. Been listening to the first couple of those, I’m liking it! I’ll work my way through the list
Hey man, you listed basically all my fave bands. You should check out my bands EP as I like to think it has a little bit of all those bands in the sound somewhere...
This is one from of my most anticipated full lengths of 2019. Can not wait. Sad People Dancing - Single by La Bouquet
Holy shit I am so jealous that you get to take in so much incredible music for the first time! You really haven't ever listened to The Spill Canvas? They are one of my favorite bands of all time. Their first album, "Sunsets & Car Crashes" is probably my favorite "mostly acoustic" album of all time and their follow up stuff while not acoustic, is also incredible. If you like a band with a really cool catchy sound with deep lyrics some of those Spill Canvas albums you should definitely skip to. I can also add a ton of other bands that I didn't list that you will probably like even more than some of the stuff I listed. I tried to give a wide pallet in my recommendations list there to make sure I have you some options to find something you'd like. Let me know which on the list end up being your favorites so I can narrow down my next set of suggestions for you. Enjoy! And for the heck of it a random Spill Canvas song to introduce you:
Added the September Falls - "Beggars, Priests, Kings EP" to my Apple Music amd I'm digging it so far. I'm only up to track 3. Solid rec! Thanks! EDIT: I just realized you said this was your band after leaving that comment and re-reading your original post and now I'm super impressed. I actually get some TSC vibes from you guys. Are they an influence on your singer?
