next up and coming band?

[Soyo]

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.

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 mainstream music sucks

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

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.

[Toksin]

What, and I suppose Kottonmouth Kings are good?

[pickle]

Ya damn skippy they are.

[Fully_Sick]

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
