Best bands that you're not listening to.

I dont know if they've been mentioned but The Academy Is are really good also.

This thread is great, I've started listinging to quite a few new bands becuase of it.

The Junction has a couple of catchy songs

[Jason Harris 31]

I thought of another band no one listens to, probably because of the stigma of being called a homo for doing so, is Styx. That's right.

Actually, Blue Collar Man and Renegade are great rockers.

By the way, did you ever see the "Behind The Music" episode on them? Apparently, Dennis De Young really liked concept albums and pushed the other members of the band to write songs in that vein for Killroy Was Here. Then he wanted them to act out the album during the concerts, to the point of people booing them off the stage, because they wouldn't play music for the first fifteen minutes of each show.

So, while discussing the break up of the band after that tour, Tommy Shaw shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know. I guess I just ran out of songs about robots....."

The part of the band that is still united played at the county fair here this summer. Not a bad show at all, but I'm a fan.

The Fratellis

They are a scottish band, my brother sent me their album a couple of months back. It's called Costello Music.

Their album comes out over here next month, highly recommended.

That new Itunes ad (with the warhol type colours) uses one of their songs, called Flathead

[Drewhunz 3]

But Chunk hates the Fratellis. That crazy family locked him in a freezer with nothing but ice cream. At least Sloth was nice to him. And BTW, that's Captain Chunk.

You have to see them (Brand New) in concert. As great as they are in the recording studio, they're as good, possibly better, live.

Nice avatar!

Faith No More

[Chadd 916]

Faith No More

Live at Brixton was an interesting video

I'm watching the Bruce Hornsby & Ricky Skaggs episode of crossroads and it's really good. Maybe I'm just enjoying it because bluegrass is so similar to a lot of Irish folk music.
