Recent musical discoveries

[Liam]

What bands/artists have you recently "discovered" and are floating your musical boat at the moment?

Having had them recommended to me ages ago by one of my friends, I finally got around to checking out Neutral Milk Hotel, and I'm pretty amazed by the "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" album, as it's really good. Was well worth the effort to check out.

I'll post some more when I've had a small think about it.

[Skummy]

I haven't really "discovered" any new bands lately, because I don't have a sound card on this PC, so I'm not listening to a lot of new stuff lately.

I think the last bands I "discovered" would probably be The Lucksmiths, who are now one of my favourite bands ever, and Chik Budo, who added me on Myspace, and who describe themselves as "punk/disco/jazz". How could I not like that combination?

Incognito - Jazz funk, bitches

new "Freak Kitchen" album (Organic) - My mate told me they broke up...lying cunt...the album's bean out a while too...I should really have checked myself Lacks the solo's of the previous album. Flows a lot better though. I love "Infidelity Ghost" and "Becky".

In Flames - Much love Liam

Beulah - Blatant OC-like happy indie vibe thingamijigies. I like them.

Pork Tornado - Jazz-funk-porn groove...I don't care, it's surprisingly awesome...looking for Yugolsavian rock has its upside...shame they're American.

Errr...

We Are Scientists and Maximo Park thanks to MTV2. As well as a few people talking about both bands on MSN.

I need more bands to get into >_>

[Liam]

I quite like what I've heard of We Are Scientists. Might have to check out some more of thier stuff.

"The Great Escape" was really cool on that advert (BBC Digital?...can't remember)

[MalaCloudy Black]

Um. Alien Sex Fiend. That's.. really, about it. I've been listening to ASF a lot, as well as Voltaire (known about for a good while now) and Neil Young (same as Voltaire).

Recently discovered the magic that is Raul Midon a few weeks ago. I absolutely love the guy's music and watching a live performance on video just amazed me. I now really want to go see this guy at a concert.

[GoGo Yubari]

I haven't "discovered" them as such but recently I've been digging Built to Spill way more than I used to (partially because I have few memories of their AWFUL live show from a few years back at a Seattle music festival remaining).

[Guest Ringmaster The Living Legend]

I haven't really discovered anything that impressive, but I've been listening to a lot of Ballboy and the Lucksmiths, which I always knew were fairly good but never gave a proper listen to if that makes sense.

I'm about like that with Neil Young, always knew the CD was lying around, never listened to it though - and fuck does he rock.

[Liam]

I finally got around to listening to neil Young at the end of 2005, and I agree with Cloudy, he is awesome.

I'd always liked "Keep On Rockin' In The Free World", but he has some excellent albums.

Iron Maiden is one, and while it's not exactly like I heard them and thought "Hey I never heard of this Iron Maiden stuff before!". I've just recently been growing to appreciate their work, and I'm quickly turning into a big fan of their music. They simply rock shit out, and I love that quality in a band.

The Eyes are a band I actually did sort of discover. I had heard of them before, but now I finally found some of their music. They're an interesting group out of the late 70s LA punk era, that contained members of Black Randy and the Metrosquad. Their sound is hard to describe, some of it almost resembles 60s acid rock or 60s garage. Then some of it is just goofy and can't really be classified, and then there's one song that is straight punk. Very good band.

[Buford Ripley]

Also, as I've somehow completely forgotten about them, I've only recently discovered the Hold Steady. There's something about those guys that I really dig.

[Dingle]

If we can include bands we just got BACK into or bands we knew about for ages but only started listening then I've gotta include; Nine Inch Nails, The Offspring, Ill Nino and 36 Crazy Fists.

Well, a couple of months ago Motion City Soundtrack hit my playlist and they've been there pretty much since, but the biggest one has been CAKE, they've risen so fast it's quite shocking, both fantastic discoveries.

[Enter Blue Guy]

I've been in a dry spell of new musical discoveries. I need help because I'm going through one of those periods in which I feel I need something badly, man! I'm gonna go crazy!

[Clawson]

If we're including things we haven't listened to in a long time and had just recently regotten into then I have to say it's just been the Chili Peppers. Haven't found anything new lately.
