next up and coming band?

ok so I found this band on purvolume.com and personally I'm surprised they aren't signed yet. http://www.purevolume.com/drivingeast I know I'd buy the cd, anyways, just wanted to spread around some good music.

wow, those guys are good

i'm going to buy that cd, definitely

Once a band gets overplayed as the next "up and comers" I avoid them like the plague :(

Most music sucks, period.

Find anything you like, find it anyway you can, and enjoy it for as long as you can stand it.

Apparently, according to Yahoo's internet radio, I like indie rock. From my understanding, most indie rock fans love bands that no one has heard of, and will not hesitate to hate those bands as soon as "everyone else" starts to hear about and to like them. Then the band's a "sellout" and they get "overplayed."

Well, I must be an atypical indie rock fan, in that I have no concept of "too much" of bands that I like. It's extremely rare that an artist or band moves from my "like" to "dislike" pile, except over the course of a very long time.

In short, I follow the tonioseven philosophy for music: Listen for yourself. Nobody else matters.

^^ Well said.

I've discovered if Toksin and slave hate it, it's got to be good. (White Stripes don't count in this case)

Hmm, sorry to say, but I find nothing more annoying than the typical punk rock whiny singing voice that seems so popular these days. Good lord, I sometimes think these new punk bands would be better with a throat cancer victim for a singer. Just not my thing.

Great, so that must make me excused for having a Top of the Pops CD :greddy2:

AC/DC is the next up and comers. They're some band from Aussie, not many have heard of them.

They suck balls. Not many WANT to hear them.

What, and I suppose Kottonmouth Kings are good? :thefinger

Ya damn skippy they are.

man, ac/dc are legends...no questioning that.

next up and coming band, to hit US[possibly], Grinspoon..

not liking mainstream music is utterly retarded, seriously I used to be that way about 2 years ago then realised how dumb it is, I love bands before they get well known but as long as they don't turn into rockstars and go on power trips then I'm happy that they are making money and having success... I don't see why all the true fans sto likin a good band just cuz its on the radio or MTV, honestly I think your worse than the people that only listen to whats on the radio, cuz they let them pic what they listen to basically, but your letting them pic what you don't listen to, and your missing out on a lot of good music

oh and ac/dc makes me gag, can't stand them, the white stripes have some catchy guitar riffs but thats where their talent ends

i nominate unwritten law for next up and coming band

www.unwrittenlaw.com

i think there best song isn't on the site (seeing red)

the best up and coming band out there is STRATA, they have one of the craziest live shows ever. the are on tour rite now in the sno core concerts AC/DC is amazing come on who can go thru losing a great lead singer replace him and still have all that success, in my opinion the only other band to do this better was VAN HALEN good thing the got rid of roth and got hagar hagar is such a better singer, roth just talks

unwritten law has been around for awhile haven't they? if not then smoe other band I used to listen to has a similar name

They sound just like 20 other bands I've heard lately... Not that they're particularly bad, but they sure aren't new or original by any stretch of the imagination...

Unwritten Law has been around for a few years now. They sort of made it at one point, and then you never here from them again.

I think Lostprophets is somewhat gaining popularity into the mainstream. We heard a couple songs from "The Fake Sound of Progress" a few years back, and now I'm hereing more of "Start Something". If the radio stations played more of a variety of Lostprophets they would probably be more mainstream, all I hear on the radio is "Last Train Home" and "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja" which are good songs. Anyway, Lostprophets might stay underground, or go mainstream, either way I like them.

I hope Moneen makes it big, those guys put on a crazy show

i'm with you all the way on that one! hence the AIM screenname the af screenname the cardomain screenname. actually even if that wasn't a bandname i'd still use it cause it kicks ass! and unwritten law is coming back from the dead.... it started with their newest song put on grind...

I hope Moneen makes it big, those guys put on a crazy show

:1:

I haven't really seen any videos of them, except for one and I downloaded a lot of their stuff its pretty decent and also it's pretty much impossible to find their cd's anywhere.

lets seperate the punk you hear on the radio from the rest of punk rock. thank you kindly :biggrin:

they arent bad.

oh and ac/dc makes me gag, can't stand them, the white stripes have some catchy guitar riffs but thats where their talent ends


So excellent songwriting skills don't count as talent?

I don't think they have talent in the songwritting area, I mean thats just me but I don't see it... it could be just because I don't really conect myself with their songs though. thats the white stripes... as far as ac/dc goes I just don't like anything about them... make sense?

My post was totally geared towards your White Stripes comment.

unwritten law are soo, ehhh, plain and bring nothing new. I classify them as pussy rock [no offence].

on the other hand, Grinspoon, brings in a nice blend of punk/hard rock. They have HELL good live shows/concerts, pity they havent travelled out of Australia to get some recognition.

as far as ac/dc goes I just don't like anything about them... make sense?

thats a bit Harsh!!, ac/dc are all about drinking and whiling out rock style, sure their lyrics arent no tool and there guitar work aint no Steve Vai, but dam there songs are party-like and amping.

and personally another up and coming band IMO, is Jedi Mind Tricks [hip-hop]. Man these guys are dope!!

ac/dc are all about drinking and whiling out rock style, sure their lyrics arent no tool and there guitar work aint no Steve Vai,

you just answered why they suck, but you forgot that the drum beat is nothing worth listening to either

Slingshot57. They will make it and I'll have tickets to their first big show!.

Hey, me too!

I actually listen to 'some' mainstreem, only on the radio, and only because I want to hear something new to listen to. So far my quests for a decent band have failed miserably.


Soyo, sorry, but I couldn't listen to that band again, I listened to their stuff. IHMO It's old. The music alrighty, but it's the lyrics that really bring it down. More girlfriend whiny crap, sorry, don't dig that.

The best bands I've ever heard, do not get radio recognition here in Australia, only one or two band, and that's from JJJ! They rock!

I've had many, many gigs with these emo punk bands, trust me, they're all the same.

lets seperate the punk you hear on the radio from the rest of punk rock. thank you kindly :biggrin:

Gotcha man, ;) I love some Pennywise and Bad Religion, I freakin love Offspring, alot of people don't but it doesn't bother me any. :D

props to Eversio on the Moneen comment.

they're from a city about an hour from me, and one of the teachers at my high school is cousins with the bass guitarist.

good sound.

AC/DC rock!

Anyways, Kritikill kicks ass. You've never heard of them before because their still local. But give 'em time.

Sorry there's nothing exciting about that band. Sound just like every other pop rock band out there.

Words can't even begin to describe how pissed off I am that Alkaline Trio is on the Warp Tour with all those shit bands.:disappoin Their next album I bet will suck ass and sound very mainstream.

not every band on the tour is shit this year. Taking Back Sunday will be there, and Coheed & Cambria, as well as many other noteworthies.

i agree that alot of shit bands will be there (Pimple Plan, Good Charlotte, Lillix, etc.), but i just stay away from that stage when they're playing.

or, i could do what i did last year. i hit the lead singer of Simple Plan in the head with a water-bottle mid-song...i think this year calls for a redux.
