Nollaig Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 (edited) Yellowcard, anybody? "The whole world is watching with one blank stare I can just sense this feeling of ill-repair Like no ones heart is full enough To keep away this fear And no ones heart is strong enough to fix what happened here Lead on to save me Lead us all there Find me some answers Its time that you shared Cant tell the difference between myth and man Or what's necessary or where I should stand." - Yellowcard: Words, Hands, Heart.

Nollaig Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Their album 'Lights And Sounds' is immense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovelygirl18 Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Their album 'Lights And Sounds' is immense. They had 5 albums here. That was their last album but Ocean Avenue was big here too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Oh I know they had several, I'm just saying I liked 'Lights And Sounds' best Ocean Avenue was the one that caught my attention but I didn't like the album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurDent Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I'd list a few Israeli Bands here, but that wouldn't be fair However, Our lady peace is not completely unknown, should, by all rights be a heck of a lot bigger worldwide. I'm talking about Coldplay size (and in my humble opinion - much better than Coldplay). I really liked a Band called Whale, they were swedish and they had one hit more or less. I baought that Album (We care) and I found it great. Check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 I used to listen to Catherine Wheel a fair bit in the nineties, and I really liked the band Jellyfish, whom I had the fortune to meet whilst I was playing in LA in 1994. Which was nice...(I keep making Fast Show references today - it must be this cold I've got)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peacefield Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Whatever happened to Hard-Fi? I used to listen to 'Stars of CCTV' all the time. Loved that track Gotta Reason... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucybird Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 They had a second album last year I think, don't think it was very successful though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I like Jack's Mannequin. Didn't like their latest album though, The Glass Passenger, I think they coulda done better than that. I really liked Everything In Transit though. And yeah, I recommend all the things Roxi recommended, they're all very good songs. I really liked Miss Delaney though and Holiday From Real they were real catchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcolferas Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 very well known in latin america but not so much in the english speaking world the best band in spanish soda stereo check'em out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nollaig Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I think, regarding Jack's Mannequin's The Glass Passenger, that what was filler really was just filler. But songs like The Resolution, Lullaby, and Caves just made it amazing. I think Andrew's finally hit 'grown up' with it. I had a friend who said he wasn't that keen on the album, but that he thinks it was the right move for Andrew McMahon, and I agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissWhitlock Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Yeah, I agree, The Resolution and The Lullaby were definitely the highlights of the album but I don't know. The other songs were just...different. More darker, perhaps? I have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smay Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Tallest Man on Earth is very good. A swedish singer/songwriter that has been called the new Bob Dylan many times (Although I don't agree with the comparison). And anyone already familiar with Bon Iver? Skinny Love has turned into my favourite song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopeanha Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I totally love Xavier Rudd Jonny Lang Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band Robert Randolph & the Family Band Joshua Kadison Nobody knows any of them here, except that one song (Jesse) from Joshua Kadison but they wouldn't know who that is.

Peacefield Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Lopeanha, I love Jonny Lang! He is originally from Fargo and has spent a LOT of time here in MN. I used to go see him in shows when they called him 'Kid Jonny Lang' . That's so great you like him! He has an excellent voice which I can never get tired of. Smay, I recently discovered Bon Iver as well. I really like 'Skinny Love' and if you haven't heard 'Re: Stacks' I would look for it! I think that one's my fave so far . I really like the folk-y/acoustic-y stuff he does; he reminds me of Samuel Beam from Iron and Wine. Which is an excellent band if you like Bon Iver.

future_perfect Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Jack's Mannequin. I believe Andrew McMahon calls it piano punk rock - it's pretty easy listening, kinda emo, but all about the pianos in sorta the same way Keane are. Andrew has a very distinctive style though.Amazing band. Wish they would play the UK. Ahhhh one of my favourite bands! You know he's playing London soon? I think its in October??

future_perfect Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 One of my favourites is SR-71 - i don't think they ever did very well in the UK, one of their songs is in the film Loser. And Apoptygma Berzerk - An EBM group from Norway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewell Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok here we go... They Might Be Giants Jewel Kilcher Barclay James Harvest Yes Ozric Tentacles Clannad Men from Earth Dream Theatre Rodrigo Y Gabriela Macalmans Runrig........ etc. If any of you guys look these up be prepared: this list is eclectic and varied. Lets just say i'm a massive fan of music, not just a type of music. And i love to find bands out there that are just clever and fun, not just crowd pleasing. Although i do love the crowd pleasing type as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
