Favorite new band?

[The Beat of Gypsy Messiah]

OK guys, what band or musician has recently become your listening obsession? You know, that one where you have to go out and drain your bank account on to get all their stuff? As of late, I have being listening to Symphony X. I am not much of a metal head, but I really like the stuff these guys have put out.

[nate]

TV On The Radio. you know a band is good when David Bowie sings backing for them

[rendezvous_drummer]

Floggin Molly. It's the christmas season and in my family the drinking season aswell, so what better music to listen to than some good ol irish drinking music in a punk style?

[badlydubbedsean]

I like the Rapture's funky music.

Apart from that, I've been constantly listening to the new Muse album.

[Wegadrummer]

Floggin Molly. It's the christmas season and in my family the drinking season aswell, so what better music to listen to than some good ol irish drinking music in a punk style?

Yeah, flogging molly is a good band.. Try listen to Dropkick Murphys, also an good punkish rock band from Ireland.. Bagpipes, flutes etc.. so cool! One of my favourite bands.. I bought the new Audioslave album last week, so hot! Love it..

[Mike Firth]

I've been listening to Protest the Hero and Bleeding Through alot lately.

[thinkintriplets]

Muse's lastest albums is amazing, as well as Strapping Young Lad's.

Yes... two very different styles, but I believe both drummers are ambidextrous? I know Gene Hogland is, but I'm not sure about the drummer for Muse (Dominic Howard) (http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wsjv7ip3g78r). I know he's a lefty though...

thinkintriplets.

[bonham990]

no doubt about it......radiohead, there simply incredible

[Tom B.]

I' velike Jet a lot, although I think they are too old to be a new band anymore...

[morbius25]

Wow just one, I have about 50 bands that are my favs. I would have to say Sanctus Real.

[Ozzy Biz]

I' ve like Jet a lot, although I think they are too old to be a new band anymore...

yeah.... they're a local band...


Anyways, I've been listening to a hell of a lot of COG and Karnivool lately. They're two of the best things going in the Australian music industry at the moment. Awesome drumming. I think they're both independent (?) and COG has sold over 25,000 copies of they're album in Australia. They're in the states now I think (bass player's VISA was delayed or something) to record a new album with Sylvia Massia (?...can't remember last name) who recorded and produced a heap of TOOL and System of a Down stuff.

Check 'em out.

Biz

[Backwards Marathon]

no doubt about it......radiohead, there simply incredible

Oh for sure. I dont think that that bands ever let me down. theyre early early stuff sounds pretty Grungish, but other than that theyre completly solid.

[meandhimcallitus]

Radiohead= amazing. The music varies so much its refreshing to hear them. They have the rock stuff, the pop stuff, ambient, eletronic, acoustic, name... theyve done it...and well.

Back on topic... ive been listiing to alot of DJ Shadow(Endtroducing, Pre- Metative Attack) mostly but I bought the new Brand New cd so ive been getting into that also.

Man, my grammer, spelling skills are god awful ha

P.S- Jeff Indyke is addicting to watch...not it the most pleasant way either...LOL at his singing in the John Bonham "Immigrant Song" breakdown

[secondXheartbeat]

Yeah, flogging molly is a good band.. Try listen to Dropkick Murphys, also an good punkish rock band from Ireland.. Bagpipes, flutes etc.. so cool! One of my favourite bands.. I bought the new Audioslave album last week, so hot! Love it..

Dropkick Murphys are from Boston. They all have Irish heritage but I think the only actual Ireland native is the singer.


Flogging Molly and DKM are both awesome bands though . . .

[secondXheartbeat]

I've been listening to Protest the Hero and Bleeding Through alot lately.

Protest the Hero is quite possibly the perfect band for me.

I probably sound like a broken record since I hype them on here every chance I get, but they are truely incredible, and their live show is the best I've ever seen.


My top 5 bands right now are probably Protest the Hero, Trivium, Thrice, Unearth, and Mastodon.


I've also recently gotten into Megadeth.

[rendezvous_drummer]

Oh yeah, I'm also a huge fan of DKM, but I prefer Floggin Molly. Drink and Fight and F*** You I'm Drunk are my two favorite songs from them, ASWELL AS KISS MY IRISH ASS!!

[Wegadrummer]

yeahyeah.. If i think for a minute i knew that they where from boston.. arg, stupid me.. anyway, both flogging molly and DKM rock..

[jiltednut]

I've really been getting into Mastodon lately, Brann is a beast!!

Also if you like Irish punk, go look up "The Sultans Of Ping FC", not my cup of tea personally but some of my mates went to see them not so long ago, and were very impressed!! Can't get much more irish than the Arse end of Cork!!

[drummerchick435]

I Love Switchfoot! I also love Dave Matthews Band and OAR.

[maddrummr]

OK GO!!!

Their music is generally simple and catchy...i like it!
and they're from Chicago!

[Guinness]

I Love Switchfoot! I also love Dave Matthews Band and OAR.

I love OAR as well. My band plays "The Gas Was Low" and it is one of my favorite tunes to play and the crowd loves it.

My brother turned me on to a band called "Building a Better Spacehip" last week and I'm really diggin' it so far. Also, the band "Sparta".

[secondXheartbeat]

I thought they were from Ireland until I went to one of their shows and heard all of them speaking with Boston accents. (minus the singer of course)

[jonnodrummer]

Darkest Hour for me, went to one of their gigs and it was amazing, take a look www.myspace.com/darkesthour

Totally dude, I've seen them 3 times now (as I can remember) loved them every since time.

My top 5 most listened to bands since 12/05: Silverstein, Atreyu, Billy Talent, Protest The Hero, The Matches

I have like 3,000 songs which I'm inlove with (pretty sad :o)

[TopCat]

Mastodon have been rocking my world lately. Now one of my favourite bands, ever.

[Joe Kearney]

Tool... 10 Years... Deftones... Team Sleep

[drumminjohn]

WOLFMOTHER!!!! they are freaking amazing, i love them..

and i know they split up and all, but i just got into Rage Against The Machine, At first i wasnt a fan of the music, just the lyrics, but now the music is catchin up with the lyrics, Battle of Los Angeles is their best album in my opinion, i love sleep now in the fire and guerrilla radio

[moe.ron]

yes 10 years! amazing band. absolutely love their stuff

[cpearson32]

Killswitch engage. Stonesour. Trivium. Shadows fall.
Metal forever

[hauk]

gotta agree with flogging molly, awesome band. listening to thursday now.. and rage against the machine is up there for one of my newer interests

[Backwards Marathon]

As Blood Runs Black, Senses Fail, and Frou Frou are pretty tight.

[DWfan20005]

for me its the killers.

[xMrJeffx]

I Love...

Sanctus Real, Kutless, Slipknot, KoRn, Todd Agnew, This Beautiful Republic, Hawk Nelson, FOB, MCR, AAR, Plan White T's, and Green Day...

Jeff

[burnthehero]

I've been addicted to Damiera for the last 3 months.

[Wegadrummer]

I am currently into ZZ Top, Beard is one bluesy drummer.

[groovemaster_flex]

Mute Math.
I cannot get the song Typical out of my head.
I must say, getting the cd "MuteMath" was probably the best thing I've done this year.
Kaiser Chiefs is a close second, with their song Ruby.
Seriously, get the album "Yours Truly, Angry Mob"

[nhzoso]

Black Label Society,

Blessed Hell ride and Mafia are incredible albums. I am going to buy every album they have which looks to be about 5 more. Zakk Wylde what a friggin Talent!

[punkdrummer1]

fav new band. I have about 100, because most of my bands that I listen to are considered "new". I really like the drumming on the new "all that remains" album. great band, and drummer(s) (yes, they are juggling between 2 drummers.) Another band, is the receiving end of sirens, an experimental band from boston, also known as "TREOS"....

[That Guy]

I am really getting into "Peeping Tom" at the moment. Mike Patton blows my mind with his musical interpretations.

[volume_3]

Over the last 2 days, alll ive been listening to is Drop The Lime.

Breakcore/IDM/Electronica artist from NYC, fantastic stuff! But also (its a song but i love it) 'Ghost of Perdition' by Opeth

[crlujan]

First I discovered Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings. Then I had to get everything on the Daptone label. The Mighty Imperials and the Sugarman 3 are especially good. If you like that old-school soul sound, you can't go wrong with any of these albums. Sugarman 3's "Sugar's Boogaloo" is my favorite right now.

[bodinski]

New? I dunno 'bout new, but am currently digging the Black Keys, Wolfmother, and an eclectic blend of old crap.

[Mediocrefunkybeat]

Technically not a band.

Robert Plant and Jimmy Page Unplugged ('Unledded'). I got this for Christmas and have listened to it a few times, more so recently and there are some real gems here. The updated versions of 'Kashmir' and 'The Battle of Evermore' in my opinion are far, far superior to the original recordings; for instance the Mandolin in the latter sounds wonderful, it's impossible to describe. There's some really great musicians on this record and the quality of recording is nothing short of phenomenal. The energy is great, the arrangements are great and the experiments nearly all pay off. I'm not a big Zeppelin fan, but I really like this. Check it out if you get a chance.

For instance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfE9KhuhsxI

[Class A Drummer]

Sum 41. I love their album "Chuck" and "Does this look infected?", but i thought their first album "All killer no Filler" was absolutley horrible. Im not much of a fan of the thier album "Underclass Hero" (although i do like that song).

I also like Rise Agaisnt. They are great cuz they have that angry Rage against the machine feel without being to metally.

[wnameth]

Protest the Hero is quite possibly the perfect band for me.

I probably sound like a broken record since I hype them on here every chance I get, but they are truely incredible, and their live show is the best I've ever seen.

i second protest. there amazing!

[stasz]

Umphrey's McGee is the greatest. They're not a metal band as you might have guessed from the name, they're rock and jam band. They're kind of similar to Phish but are amazing and can play basically anything, and still keep their own originality. I might just seem like I'm glorifying them or something but seriously, they're amazing. They have hard rock songs, funky songs, country, blues, everything.

Check them out, see a show, buy "Anchor Drops" the album, and you will be amazed.

http://www.umphreys.com/

YEM

P.S. Their drummer is fantastic.

[BCains]

Relient K, Nada Surf, OK Go, Rooney

Karnivool, Birds of Toyko, Sick Puppies, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect

[hatebreed]

Job for a cowboy. Amazing drumming.

[ULTIMATEDRUMMER]

Thats a funny ass band
lol.

[stasz]

Job for a cowboy. Amazing drumming.

Hmmm I don't know man, a good drummer a band does not make. And neither does pig squealing, unless you think that's cool.

[Ozzy Biz]

Relient K, Nada Surf, OK Go, Rooney

Karnivool, Birds of Toyko, Sick Puppies, Dead Letter Circus, The Butterfly Effect

I'll say ditto for Karnivool and The Butterfly Effect, but also throw in COG and Airbourne.
If you like AC/DC, Rose Tattoo, the Angels or any real Aussie Rock n' Roll, check out Airborne. They are really putting the balls back into rock. I saw them a couple of months back at a college function. I think Rolling Stone gave their debut album 4 or 4.5 stars and they just signed an international deal with Roadrunner Records. They're touring the world early next year I think. Do yourself a favour and check them out
http://www.airbournerock.com/

I'm also loving The Beautiful Girls and 67 Special.

Seriously check out Airbourne.

Airbourne are touring with Motor Head at the moment right?

67 Special - they new albums sounds awesome, Jacquire King produced that album!

Theres also British India, Gyroscope, Miarcarla... so many great new hard rock / indie rock bands coming out at the moment.

Some other international ones; Breaking Benjamin & Buckcherry.

[Spencer_159]

I have been listening to ALOT of killswitch engage lately.

[el_frenko]

The Blood Brothers:
no-one i know has even heard of them, and when i play it to them they all hate it! but i love em. they're a post hardcore band with alot of high-pitched screaming, so i guess thats why they're an aquired taste.

Mr Bungle:
another "aquired taste" i beleive. but truely awesome non the less. they're crazy/hillarious/psycotic/jazzy/brutal/awesome all at the same time!

I've known about the blood brothers for awhile, some of my friends went to see them live. I'm not that big of a fan, but I might listen to them once in awhile.

Lately I've been listening to Between the Buried and Me, mostly because their new album is coming out so I started to listen to them again. I'm not quite sure if that is considered "new"..but it's definitely newer than the other stuff I've been listening too.

[max77]

I listen to :

Phideaux - Doomsday afternoon (Progressive rock)

Porcupine Tree - All albums (You know)

Minus the bear - Planet of ice (Indie)

[nebula821]

I was so impressed with Light Grenades by Incubus as an album that I've had to intentionally stop listening to it so I don't wear it out. I'm going to see them this Sunday so I'm trying not to listen to ANY Incubus right now to build the suspense.

[That Guy]

Mr Bungle:
another "aquired taste" i beleive. but truely awesome non the less. they're crazy/hillarious/psycotic/jazzy/brutal/awesome all at the same time!

They are far from new... been around for 16 years now. One of my top 5 bands!

Well not to rag on you but I might disagree with a couple of tracks, however there are some nice ones on the album. Quicksand, Pendulous Threads, and Paper Shoes are probably my favorites. I've listened to all of Incubus' other albums and even among the highlights on Light Grenades I expected more.

[TheGroceryman]

I've recently gotten into dragonforce. After i first saw them on youtube, I thought the guitar work in mostly all of their songs are quite fascinating. I kind of like the singer's voice too. And the drummer is ridiculously fast with the double bass, crazy stuff. I've also gotten into Yellowcard, too.

[el_frenko]

They are far from new... been around for 16 years now. One of my top 5 bands!

yeah they broke up in the 90s or something didnt they? anyway, the reason i mention them is because i just started getting into them recently, hence they are new to me

[That Guy]

No, they are still a band and get together occasionally. Thier 3rd album "California" was released about 4 years ago. Each album is extremely different from the previous. Mike Patton has so much on his plate when it comes to his music and many different projects that when he gets together with Bungle, its always amazing. New album is rumored to be released in the fall of 2008.

It seems like a lot of people dislike their new album, as was the case with ACLOTM. I like how they've progressed and refined their sound. They can't stay the "SCIENCE" Incubus forever! A Kiss to Send us Off is one of their best songs yet and the part between the bridge and last Chorus is one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard. I am a bit biased though :0 Peace.

[ness]

I've recently gotten into industrial music, stuff like Nine Inch Nails, Rammstein, and Marilyn Manson.

I've been listening to it ALOT latley

[LiveGoat]

Trail of Dead are a cool band. Lately I've been getting into Terry Reid. Yeah, he's not new (late 60's early 70's) but he was the guy Page wanted to sing for Zep but because of prior commitments, Reid couldn't do it for at least a year, so Reid recommended Plant for the gig. Anyway, I've been listening to a compilation album of his called Superlungs. The drummer on it is a young Alan White and it kicks serious butt. Also, listening to this album I realized that Jack White isn't quite so ahead of his time after all.

wow, i thought they were done for good! yeah i got all their albums, and i think they're all brilliant in their own right. but that would be amazing if they released another album! where did you here about it?

[That Guy]

where did you here about it?

Right after the release of Peeping Tom's debut, Henry Rollins did an interview with Mike Patton and asked about Mr. Bungle. Mike said that Bungle is alive and strong and that he needed to tour with P.T. a bit, then Bungle was going back to the studio. He was hoping for a new release in the fall of 08.

That was the last I heard. I hope its true!

[groovemaster_flex]

I'll second the Blood Brothers. Young Machetes is a great album.

[josie7777]

Im loving Heavy Young Heathens..

http://www.myspace.com/heavyyoungheathens

[Drumsword]

Wow, this thread has been hiding for over a year, good call up. My favorite band as of late would probably be "Black Stone Cherry". I love their sound and style. very unique southern rock.

[Jalli]

My favorite band is Tool (not new). However a good new band is Diablo, they're not very new, but they're not old either. These two bands are like my overall favorite bands.
Also Danny Carey of Tool is my favorite drummer. :)

[7DaysToTheWolves]

Lacuna Coil would have to be in my top new(er) bands, although they've been around for quite some time, more people have started to notice them.

[Billy Brown]

Dr. Dog

http://www.myspace.com/drdog

I'm not much into these retro bands, but man, these are some good musicians.

[metal overlord]

Evile.

I found them before the mass did, before Rock Band.

I found them by accident off of a Megadeth vid comment.
So I checked them out and it was only 1 song by them, and it had 17 views.

Now their entire album is up and all have 10-100k views.

I'm a proud (and original) fan!

[Ian Williams]

Hello,

Apocalyptica & Nightwish!

[EvanMatthiesen]

i dont listen to drummer music haha

i generally dig experimental indie-rock (broken social scene, wolf parade, akron/family), and i listen to alot of singer-songwriters (neutral milk hotel, nick drake, neil young)

i think the reason i play drums is cause i like hip hop.

[Geoff Tipps]

Just got Nick Cave and the Badseeds.I know they've been around a while but better late to the party than not at all!

[Khaine88]

blackstone cherry, superb band

[volume_3]

Lately i've been listening to a lot of pop:

Madonna (Ray of Light album)
Girls Aloud
Alphabeat
Alanis Morissette
Patrick Wolf
Nancy Sinatra

And rockier:

Che (An unsigned band in my area)
Placebo
Coheed (In Keeping Secrets era)

[Joe P]

Big Phat Band!

It's a REALLY good modern Big Band and I love their sound, production quality, and talent! Check it out if you get a chance. They're on iTunes.

[LM201]

The Who again pretty much it

[joshlovestodrum]

It's absolutely positively... Altar Bridge!


Just a hugely talented band.


Guaranteed! ;-)

...They actually toured in Traverse City Michigan on their first tour or so and i got to see them at a REALLY tiny club. holy heck. tremonti's rack gear looked like a christmas tree on roids it had so many lights. scott phillips did a great job behind the kit as usual i'm sure, although he did jack up a big fill...cant remember the song exactly (listening to the album now though)...i do also remember he had one of those cool "Kickers" under his throne...i bet those are cool to have. dude i was so close i gave myles and mark knuckles and i actually got a pick from the bass player brian.

[joshlovestodrum]

i forgot to actually post in response to the thread itself, i was stoked to talk about alter bridge...lol....favorite new band? ummmm...actual one album new bands would be either:

Gallows
or
The Mess Hall

(Wolfmother as well, hey...1 album and out)

...i listen to mostly older stuff though...at least the bands that i initially wanted to list have a couple albums under their belts at least...

i used to be a ska freak. still love the stuff though

[turbinesaint]

Unexpect
They've been around for a little while, but mostly underground. I saw them open for Nile and I was completely blown away. Tons of crazy energy and a great sound (if you're into metal).

[rockinrandy777]

My new favorite band is The Energy...

[Citizen Insane]

I have recently got into Jeff Buckley, Bob Dylan, Lupe Fiasco ect: but I've been mainly listening to The Seatbelts. They are an extensively musically diverse big band, that does the music for the show Cowboy Bebop. They are excellent. Some of the most exciting music I've heard in a long time.

Two favorite tracks from them:

My favorite new band is easily Lamb of God.

[Kyle_Drummer_666]

My new favorite bands are Behemoth and Black Tide. Behemoth isn't new but i just started listening to them recently. Black Tide is a new band, but their on a totally different level.

[metal overlord]

OH HELL YEAH EVILE! Im an original fan too. They are so good and remind me of Sodom circa 89. Municipal Waste is the other band I forgot to mention!

MW Is great. I've always loved Waste.

DRI is really good, too. That's how I actually found about Municipal Waste, off of a link of a DRI vid.

You think they're good? Check out Ankla. They're a spanish metal band that kicks major ass.

[Muffled Tom]

radiohead is my favorite, but i also enjoy incubus, red hot chili peppers, muse, the vines, staind, among many others.

Radiohead radio_head radioh_ead ra_diohead.

And I've always loved the Mars Volta.

[CopperBomb]

Not a new band, but the album that's been getting played a lot the last month or so is "Killing Peace" by Onslaught. An absolutely storming album with lyrics that'd make Kerry King proud, lol.
I've also been playing Carcass' last album, "Swansong" quite a bit, too - I just love how they've made it rocky and yet so brutal at the same time.

Evile are pretty good too, a lad I worked with got me into them last August; proper old-school thrash - can't beat it. Not heard any Municipal Waste, I'll have to go on a search when I get home.

i was recently introduced to The Mars Volta.....wow Thomas Pridgen blew my mind, but the guitar player has a very odd style of playing...... i still love 'em though!

Omar LOVES his dissonance. It had to grow on me, truthfully, but now I can't get enough of it.

I highly suggest checking out De-loused in the Comatorium, and after that, Francis the Mute. They are earlier releases with their previous drummer Jon Theodore, but by no means is his playing anything less than great. They do some really cool things with heavy latin rhythms. De-loused is definitely my favorite. And Flea plays bass on this one, which is awesome.

Recently for me it's been Hot Chip.
After seeing them play at work, and having heard their singles played at club nights, i got their albums and im HOOKED!

As for The Mars Volta, well they're the best band in the world to me. Frances is my favourite album ever, i actually think their 2 most recent ones are their weakest, but their still high in my favourite albums list.
Get Frances The Mute.

[metal overlord]

Warbringer is pretty good, their heavy"er" but their good.

Zimmers Hole!!!!!
Best new metal band out there.
It has three out of four strapping young lad members. Jed simon(guitar), byron stroud(bass), and the one and only legend of metal Gene Hoglan(drums). and for vocals it has Chris Valagao. Producing the vocals for the record though was none other then Devin townsend. They have three albums out, and there newest and best one is When you were shouting at the devil....we were in league with satan.

[DrummerDavid]

I am not Irish..But I have been digging on Flogging Molly lately

[Ian Williams]

Spastic Ink......Ink Complete. (with the Jarzombek brothers).

[DrumEatDrum]

Favorite new band (to me) is Dead Soul Tribe.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Soul_Tribe

They've been around a few years now, but it's only been in the past year I've heard of them, and I have to say, they've immediately become on of my all time favorite bands.

[dimensiontr]

Frank Zappa's blown my mind away lately...

Great composing, great feeling and great humour.

[Doom]

Floors and Walls - a band from Brighton in England who I saw by chance and are fantastic.

[lance shaeffer]

Hi everybody, I'm new here...my favs right now have to be "Kings of Leon", "Citizen Cope", "Radio Head", "Rebelution", "John Butler Trio" and "Soldiers of Jah Army" Not all are new but all have some really great, important music.

[oldrockdrummer]

Disturbed.............................

[TheGroceryman]

Billet-Deux!!!! i heard one of their songs on sirius-xm's Real Jazz channel, and i was hooked!!! There like some crazy italian jazz group consisting of a cello(!!!), a violin(!!!), a guitar, and drums. They are AMAZING. Anything with cello's and violins usually blow me away, but this is on an even higher level.

Doubt anyone has ever heard of them before tho.

[theindian]

Killswitch Engage, MGMT, Daft Punk. Kind of a weird mix but i like variety.

[slyone]

Most recently its been the Raveonettes

Lyle

[oldrockdrummer]

Mudvayne, out of Peoria Illinois very good alternative rock band

[Ian Williams]

The Secret Machines.
They have a psychedelic style, and background bits of Iron Butterfly and Pink Floyd.
