I think Thrice are a good headbanging band. I like them even though they sound more metal than punk.

Well she's not superbly pretty, but she's got a kind of an appeal that captured my attention the first time I saw the video.
*makes a mental note to complete her wardrobe with short black skirt, necktie and sexy sheer white blouse*

Er, SJH's not around now, is he? Good, good. Damn, now I'm curious about that video as well. I have no idea how I'm going to get it, but I need to watch it now! |

Ok, ignore everything up to here - I had forgotten how good Terrorvision were! How could I have not included them when they made the incredible album "How To Make Friends and Influence People" Alice What's the Matter Oblivion Pretend Best Friend Ten Shades of Grey Stop the Bus - all amazing songs, althouigh they went downhill after that It's pretty hard to live up to an album as good as that

Making recommendations based on your preferences;
Rage Against The Machine (very invigorating, the first for songs on Battle For Los Angeles are a real killer punch. Always remind me of The Matrix) Ash (Irish pop-punk. Hardly lyrically deep, but simply brilliant pop music. "Burn Baby Burn" and "Orpheus" are my favourites) Idlewild (Their earlier album are straight-up hard rock, but recently they have explored pop and country to good effect. Have a knack for anthemic vocal lines (and a weakness for tautology). I would recommend the songs "What If You Held The World In Your Arms", "A Little Discourage", "When I Argue I See Shapes", and "El Capitan") Desaparecidos (More obscure. They are basically a side project of Emo-Indie-Folkster Conor Oberst (Bright Eyes), But sound nothing like it. They play hard-rock with a political message about consumerism and US foreign policy. They only have one album (Read Music, Speak Spanish) but have new material planned.)

Sparta, great catch. At the drive-in, the band it spun-off from, is also good, while the other spin-off (Mars Volta) isn't so good.

Yeah, one of my Russian pals lent me a Nightwish album. But to be honest... I didn't really get into it.

Yeah, I don't like it that much.
I also don't like Stratovarius, which is a bit like Nightwish.

Thirded (?) on RATM.
I love Nightwish "Ocean's Born" album, but the rest is a bit too... boring.

Manic Street Preachers - Gold Against The Soul. Worth it for 'From Despair To Where' alone. Had me jumping around my old bedroom annoying my parents when I got it I liked Everything Must Go too, although it's a different style (probably cos it was the first album without Richey).
I'm also an Everclear fan, and def agree with the classics like Reef and Ash.

Everclear. I remember them, vaguely... they might be quite good. I heard The Crimea recently and they were fun stuff.
Also picked up a CD which was vaguely Doves/Radiohead today. The Other? I think? I can't be sure. First track is a fleeting drumbeat against a plainitive horn... really nice. Very epic, but for the life of me I can't remember the name... damnit! Ok Go are rather good too right now.

Just discovered 12 Stones. Recommended by a friend. What do you guys think about them?
