Music The "You should know about this band" thread

[Icarus]

This is a nice place to put some bands that aren't particularly well-known, but are a great listen. Be sure to include the name of the band (duh) and the names of some of their songs, as well as a website (if they have one) and album/song titles.

My first pick: the Long Winters
www.thelongwinters.com
All their material is awesome, if you live eternally in the early 90's (or just like early 90's music).

if you want to hear a great band inspired by the misfits, metallica, and nirvana and whose music is really maturing well (not to mention it is spearheaded by a dear friend of mine whom women invariably think is hot), visit

great band worth checking out would be Evergreen Terrace
i couldnt tell you if they got a website or not but one of their albums is called Writers Block its an entire album of covers and it rules
another album was self titled as Evergreen Terrace but im not sure how much they got out

this band called Self that i've been listening to for a while. i really dont know why these guys arent more popular, as they have at least 2 dozen songs that can get stuck in your head for days on end.
Fun fact: lead singer Matt Mahaffey wrote and performed the little jingle for Expedia.com

some good songs:
Paint by Numbers
Dead Man
What Are You Thinking?
Pattycake
Trunk Fulla Amps
Borateen

 

[Descent]

Between the Buried and Me. They are my all time favorite band. They make grunge metal that can sound very harmonic and beautiful at some points.

Their music is very unique.

For the people that like metal must hear SYX. This band is out of Portland, Oregon, and in my opinion, they kick some serious ass.
Album: A cold breath of what it takes.

And for the people that like The Beatles and/or Metallica...well just check this out.
http://www.beatallica.org

Beatallica. a Beatles/Metallica influence. Just check it out. They have two albums available for download on their website. Don't worry Jason, Brit and mods, this is totally legal. Beatallica doesn't sell cd's, they put there mp3's on their website for free. Just right click on the song title and "save as" to save them to your hardrive.
