Can I get some more music suggestions? Everything i've heard you recommend has been money. I'm really into the chill stuff lately, like Minus The Bear. I also really like alot of the more upbeat stuff like The Format and Gratitude. I'd have made this a PM instead but I figured someone might find something they like, or have other suggestions. Thanks.

Copeland. That should keep you busy for a while. Well, an LP and an EP's worth of time at least.

[Joe826]

Have it already. I like them, too. Have you heard of Sleeping At Last? If not you should check them out, they're pretty good. Any other suggestions?

[mmbt0ne]

Ok, so you have Minus the Bear, Copeland, Gratitude, and The Format. I have a feeling I'm going to whiff on all of these, but here it goes.

Do you have the first Phantom Planet cd, Phantom Planet is Missing?
Probably already have it, but Senses Fail's new cd is cool, and From the Depths of Dreams is awesome.
Schneids reminded me of The Zutons yesterday. Good stuff there.
Do you like more poppy sounding? The Matches maybe.
A little more screachy with My Chemical Romance.
Onelinedrawing is where the lead singer for Gratitude started, so you might want to check that out.

Any help yet?

[Joe826]

Ah I don't have a few of these. I'll check them out. I do like MCR, and I used to like Senses Fail alot but since I've gotten into hardcore and found out what good screamy vocals sound like I can barely listen to them. Thanks

[mmbt0ne]

Jesus, I didn't know hardcore was included in this musical request.

Start with Saosin, as you proabably already have Thursday, Recover, Thrice, etc. There are a lot more, but I'm tired and have a test tomorrow. Hopefully Matty stumbles across this thread later.

[Joe826]

Hardcore is always included, but for this particular post I was more concerned with The Formatish type stuff. I do have tons of pop-punk/screamo type stuff like Thrice (prolly my favorite band of all time), but lately i've been listening to alot of true hardcore like Converge, As I Lay Dying, Everytime I Die, etc. Good stuff. Anyways thanks. Maybe i'll PM Matty if this thread gets way buried by tomorrow or somethin.

Ok. Ill reccomend some bands I havent mentioned before. As I pimp Minus The Bear continuosly. Off the top of my head, before Borgata:

Engine Down - especially the album Demure. If not everything.

Ashes - Female Poppy Hardcore band from DC - Hard to find.

Deadguy - awesoem noisecore, possible the best Hardcore band victory every put out. Check out Fixation on a co-worker. The new (not so much anymore) Dillenger is great, but actually I think you had that asy our avatar?

Texas is the Reason - Anything you can find. Everyone would like this.

Been listening to a lot of Explosions in the Sky, and Godspeed! You Black emperor lately. New Age Modern Cresendo Rock is my sarcastic term for these bands.

The new Temper Temper album off of revelation is pretty good upon first listen, if you are into the dance punk.


A lot of backlash in New York over The Bravery, but the album actually is pretty good if you like bands like theKillers and Franz Ferdinand. Same with Bloc Party/LCD Soundsystem.

The new Nationals record is pretty good, if you like Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs.



1. Old Long Island Hardcore Stuff: Silent Majority, GlassJaw, Milhouse, Tripface, Clockwise, Sons Of Abraham. Hard to find; we'll set up a soulseek someday.

For the record my favorite band is probably Pinback. You should have everything they do.


Not too much new stuff. Lucas, MMBTONE, MacDaddy Warsaw, Jack of Arcades and SFer should contribute in this thread.

[IndieMatty]

Anything Jonah Matranga has ever done. Far- Water and Solutions is tits.

[Jack of Arcades]

Yeah, but dude, I've said everything before like 30 times. I don't have much new [censored], nor much hardcore.
