Help me find music I will like!

DJellett · 11-04-2006, 07:44 PM

Hey guys...been listening to a new genre of music, kinda British pop rock/alternative (things like Arctic Monkeys, Kaiser Cheifs, The Subways) a\nd I'm looking for music like this...can anyone direct me towards what I am looking for? Tried Pandora.com but it more leads me to similar technical musical elements rather than the genre as a whole...HELP!

Ta guys,

Dylan Jellett

Think you've come to the right place, boy. Oh Barney Rubble, where art thou?

Cloete · 11-04-2006, 07:50 PM

Give Bloc Party, Maximo Park, Athlete, Embrace and Aqualung a go. Perhaps Feeder too but they're a bit different.

Not all that similar but you'll probably like most of those bands. That sort of style is very big on this forum which is cool!

DJellett · 11-04-2006, 07:54 PM

Any songs or albums in particular?

All of them?

If I pick one from each band:

Athlete - Wires
Embrace - Ashes or Nature's Law
Maximo Park - Postcard of a Painting
Bloc Party - umm... Like Eating Glass or Helicopter or Two More Years or Pioneers or Blue Light or ANYTHING
Feeder - Even harder... Pushing the Senses or Feeling A Moment or Buck Rogers or Just A Day or High or Just the Way I'm Feeling or anything..

They've all got alot of quality songs really, except I haven't heard alot of Maximo Park.

Bloc Party - Silent Alarm is a brilliant album.

Polytheme, Comfort in Sound and Pushing The Sense by Feeder are all good albums too.

You'll be wanting the Libertines then....

Personally i refuse to jump on the bandwagon.

It'd be fair to throw Franz into this thread?

They are another band I already love...so you're on the right track

Dark Hunter · 11-04-2006, 08:23 PM

Franz started the whole thing didn't they? Or atleast brought it out into the light. Apart from the ones already mentioned....maybe Blur? The Futureheads?

Matteh · 11-04-2006, 08:23 PM

Simplest way =

Go buy an NME - then download/buy a track by each artist you like the sound of based on the NME's talk

Franz were certainly one of the first....but i still prefer Darts of Pleasure(1st single) to Take me Out (2nd single)

Dark Hunter · 11-04-2006, 08:26 PM

Darts Of Pleasure is a great song...always good to see scottish guys playing brit-pop singing in german
