Need new music

[pv=nrt]

ok i need a new band to listen too.

the rules:
1. not mainstream
2. no heavy metal crap- i am not an angry person

list your suggestions with a few of the band's best songs

[Fallen Angel]

Within Temptation
Nightwish
Nerf Herder
Less Than Jake
Real Big Fish

And more but I can't really think of them right now

[Bigwig]

i've been listening to a lot of emo lately.
particularly
alkaline trio - private eye, trouble breathing, san francisco, stupid kid, goodbye forever
and i just bought
audio karate - senior year, san jose, halfway decent, speak and the devil appears.

[Nockm]

A small description of each band would be nice

[RabbitRapist]

AFI
Pixies
Tenacious D
Sinch

[Verthanthi]

Godspeed you black emperor! - A Canadian project combining experimental, rock and orchestral music

[Sleepy Weasel]

I'll agree with checking out Godspeed you black emperor. Quite good

If you like them also check out Mogwai, Dirty Three, Spiritualized, Boards of Canada, and Boxstep. (Boxstep if a local band from Pittsburgh, you won't be able to find basically anything from them, but I just wanted to give them a mention since I'm friends with the lead singer and they've opened for Godspeed).

If you'd like something a little more electronica and a little less experimental rock I'd check out Zero 7, Lovage, or Air.


For some good Indie Rock type stuff try:

Dandy Warhols
Modest Mouse
Built to Spill
Wilco
Belle and Sebastian

If you are really into somber stuff you can always check out Smog.

For more happy upbeat stuff I'd recommend

Dispatch
Guster


And if you want some hiphop you can't beat
Jurassic 5
Blackalicious

in my opinion.

[Webbb Llama v1.5]

Sasha - best techno
Portishead - best depressing trip hop
Sneaker Pimps - more trip hop

[Troll King]

U Penn Off the Beat...

Definately not mainstream and definately not heavy metal, and definately not angry.

no webbb no

[Dim]

Feeder - Come Back Around

[aphix]

dimboy is on the money with that one.

Anything by feeder, Just a Day and come back around are 2 of the best, 'A' are along the same sort of lines, try "hundred Reasons" and also "a new found glory" who have done some good cover tacks like, Dont want to miss a thing by aerosmith.
It depends what your looking for though, and what age you are, try "train" if you want some proper music, that ISNT mainstream/rocky/techno etc.

A few more to try: (band - album title - best songs)

Feeder - Echo Park - Just a day, Come Back Around, Buck Rogers.
A - Serious Hi-Fi - Nothing, Pacific Ocean Blue, Starbucks, The Springs.
Gay Dad - Leisure Noise - anything
Hybrid - Wide Angle - anything
Wilt - Bastinado - anything
Oasis - All - Little By Little.. anything else
Idlewild

-aphix

[Bigwig]

i have it on good authority that, ...and you will know us by the trail of dead, will be the next band in the whole, white stripes, strokes, hives, media frenzy. if thats your thing.
