View Full Version : CD recommendations?

Anybody have any CD's from non-major recording artists released in the past year or two they'd like to recommend? Here's a few of mine:
Blindside-- Silence (very similar to P.O.D., and they rock!)
Revis--Places for Breathing
Big Dismal--Believe
Finch--What It Is To Burn (much like Blindside)

I love Revis and Big Dismal

I recommend Finger Eleven, Socialburn and Shinedown

I love Revis, too! I'd also recommend:

Loudermilk -- The Red Record (lots of influences on this band. Just a rockin' CD).

Dust For Life -- Dust For Life ( I think this came out in 2000 or 2001, not sure). They have sort of an Alice In Chains vibe. I really like this band, but they are having trouble with their label [Wind-Up!!!!] and haven't done anything since. It's a shame, because they are decent musicians.

doubleDrive -- Blue in the Face. They have a little Creed influence, I'd say, and they suffer the same are-they-a-Christian-band questions that plague Creed. Good rock, though.

Four Years Past -- Surface...Another Florida band that rocks. The cadence takes some getting used to, but I'm finding their songs sticking in my head of late, LOL. They have a song called Sadly Now that is really good. The lead singer has an interesting voice, with a funky little quaver in it. Also, Flip's brother is the drummer.

Verbena -- La Musica Negra. This album just rocks. Supposedly, they have been produced by Dave Grohl, but I didn't see his name on the CD anywhere. It may have been on a previous CD. Good, crunching guitars and I did hear a little Grohl influence in a couple of riffs. I can't get enough of this record.

Speaking of Dust to Dust, I say that everyone should check out there new album Sick. Its totally blows there first album out the water, and is a great cd to add to any rock lovers collection.

Although mostly a different sound to the majority of the music you guys seem to like, I think most of you should listen to a wider range of genres so here goes...

The Mars Volta - Deloused in the Comatorium
The best CD of 2003. Its a big call, but then I've no doubt a better record will be released this year. Featuring members of now defunct At the Drive In and with Flea doing the bass for the album its almost another supergroup in the Audioslave ilk. Its pretty progressive but also pretty rocking, it's not for everyone. Try Roulette Dares (the haunt of) for a taste.

Virgos - The Path of Least Resistance
Brett Hestla's real band, its a pretty solid cd. They've now broken up so this is unfortunately the last offering from that band. Best song on the record would have to be No You. Its like 5 bucks at bandrags so what excuse do you have?

Ladytron - 604
Very cool electronic band from the UK. They have a newer CD but 604 is my favourite, its got a more raw sound as opposed to a more polished sound they've got today. Their main singer is Bulgarian and I've got a thing for european accents so its just great. Ladybird is a top song.

Gospeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O
Canadian instrumental prog rock I guess. Each track meanders along at its own pace, leading to a whole cd with only 3 tracks. Usually this would mean self indulgent crap, but each song builds and builds toward a usually incredible peak. Its a beatuful sound.

I also second the Dust For Life, awesome awesome band. Also check out the new Jane's Addiction, thats some top music.


ICQ me if anyone wants to hear an mp3 of these bands.

Dogstar
08-07-2003, 10:42 AM
Ditto on Jane's Addiction. I heard some of the new stuff at Lollapalooza and I definitely want to pick that one up!

Someone else on another board recommended the Mars Volta as well.

Dogstar
08-09-2003, 02:40 PM
Ok, stupid off-topic computer question, so I apologize...Said Eyes, what is ICQ? :embarass:

hotforscott
08-09-2003, 02:45 PM
I may have to check out For Years Past. I have heard a lot about them.

Dogstar
08-09-2003, 02:47 PM
Yeah, they are pretty good, Carrie. A little raw, but wiith definite potential. I've been catching myself humming a few of their tunes of late!

hotforscott
08-09-2003, 02:55 PM
I will do that then. Thanks for the heads up.

Metallica - Metallica (Self titled, aka The Black Album, known as that because of it's famous pitch black cover including one hardly noticable snake)

If you dont own this album there is something wrong with you.

I suggest to start with At The Drive In's EP "Vaya" and their last LP "Relationship of Command". Would be easier to swallow hehe

oh yeah and my recommendations: Tool -- AEnima, dredg -- El Cielo, Radiohead -- OK Computer, Kid A... umm actually any RH album other than Pablo Honey will do.

Man, I can't believe I forgot Comes With The Fall!
You guys should check them out if you get the chance. A three-piece band that kicks ass. Their drummer, Bevan Davies, is with Danzig for their next album and is touring with them this summer.

Last year, they toured with Jerry Cantrell, as both openers and his touring band. They worked their asses off. They own their own label and are going about their business by pretty much ignoring the sign-with-a-big-label route. They are basically doing the whole shebang on their own.

You can download their whole first album (which is out of print right now) and get their second one (The Year Is One) for 10 bucks off the web site. It's well worth the money!

ICQ (http://www.ICQ.com) is an instant messaging program that also allows file transfers etc. So I could send someone a song if they wanted a taste.

As for introducing them to ATDI first, Lechium, I think the Mars Volta's stuff is better, and ATDI were pretty major.

hotforscott
08-10-2003, 10:10 AM
I will have to check out, Comes with the Fall, Dogstar. Sounds like they are awesome.

Dogstar
08-10-2003, 12:29 PM
Thanks, Said Eyes. I thought maybe that's what it was, but I wasn't sure....This month's Spin magazine has a feature on the Mars Volta. I haven't read it yet, but the timing is kind of interesting.

Once again, you show your arrogance and what you think are your superior tastes in music. You shouldn't assume that just because most people here really like Creed that we aren't receptive to other musical genres. For someone who professes to be so open-minded, you're very close-minded about the people on this board. *Would be easier to swallow, hehe*...GIVE ME A BREAK!

I have a few that are absolute favorites:


Eve To Adam (http://www.evetoadam.com) Their cd is Auburn Slip. The whole cd is excellent

Plank63 (http://www.plank63.com)


One Less Reason (http://www.onelessreason.net)

Enjoy

Humm no, Mars Volta IS hard to swallow, trust me. For any one. That's kinda their point. Long chaotic songs with no standard structure, and such. Has nothing to do with my taste, it's just a very confusing record.
However albums I mentioned above will help someone to get aquanted with more basic stuff these guys did in ATDI, that would help to get a grasp on Mars Volta.

I am big ATDI fan so....
Mars Volta is cool, no questions here, but they're not somethign I would suggest to anyone who's looking for stuff like albums he had mentioned in his first post. I got a feeling that he was looking for a hardish rock album as is (well I did get carried away suggesting Kid A now didnt I?). And MV is harldy rock to start with =)
If he had said that he was looking for stuff like Mr. Bungle, Melvins and say GSYBE! that would had been a different story...

ummm ok I'll better stut up before people would blame me of arrogance again.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhkay, I'm sorry if I misinterpreted your comments.

Said Eyes
08-11-2003, 03:49 AM
I took this thread as being about bands/records you recommend that aren't major releases. Hardly think GY!BE or Ladytron are hard rock, do you? And thats the whole point of these type of threads, you like something, so you say so and others can check it out.

You are right about the Mars Volta though, its pretty chaotic. While there is structure to the madness, it does take a back seat most of the time.

Dogstar
08-11-2003, 03:51 AM
Chaotic or not, I'm going to give the Mars Volta a shot. I ordered it from half.com :D.

Just be sure to give it time to sink in before discarding it to the 'never gonna listen to these again' section of your cds.

Dogstar
08-12-2003, 01:55 PM
LOL, Said Eyes. I will do that. I have to really despise something to put it in that category. I'm very curious about it now, that's for sure. :D

Stereo Fuse - All these guys need is a little promotion and they'll be set.

Socialburn - Just picked this one up, 'Vacancy' is probably my favorite track.

Seether - This CD rocks

Revis - Bought the CD after seeing them live, not one of my favorites, but still good.

Brand New Sin - Drunkin hell raising rednecks...gotta love 'em

VonRay - Awesome band, awesome CD

One Less Reason (http://www.onelessreason.net) - No CD out..but check their site for some MP3's

The OLP live CD is pretty good

Dogstar

I got my Mars Volta CD and I have to say it kicks ass! It almost sounds like a combination of Yes and Rush...I was a major Yes freak years ago, so I'm liking the similarities...The singer is like Geddy Lee, Jon Anderson and Chris Cornell all rolled into one. It is indeed a chaotic and unpredictable record, but it's a way cool trip. Thanks for the recommendation!

Said Eyes

Glad you like it. Its a great CD that everyone should listen to. It's very original yet familiar at the same time.

I had also bought Mars Volta CD today (I heard few songs here and there before, but never whole thing). My reaction is following -- exellent CD, but I am somewhat disspaointed, cuz I was expecting way too much of it lol
Well that is my verdict after only few listens. In few days it should grow on me.

P.S. Dog, if you enjoyed Mars Volta than I suggest you pick up Mr. Bungle's self titled album. It's more chaotic, diverse and somewhat less rock oriented, but these two albums have a lot in common.

MrSeeker

Mudvaynes new one is also one i highly recomend.

It's funny you should mention that. I almost did just that the other day when I was picking up some other CDs. I'll definitely give it a listen! Thanks.
