Re: Best new bands - post 2000 (or post 9/11)
I will say there's very few new bands or solo artists that have been around a decade or less that are really pioneering, influentual *big* forces in music like a Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Who, Stones or even NIN, Nirvana, U2, etc when you compare to what the 60's - '90's offered. IMO, Muse and Arcade Fire are the two bands off the top of my head that capture some of the massive appeal, sense of continued artistic growth and quality of craft that most of the major old school bands did in their time. A large part of this "problem" I attribute to the fact a casual listener has to work at finding new artists to get into versus just turning on the radio and getting bombarded by new bands and singles like (for my example) the glory days of the early 80's/KROQ.
Also, aside from bands already mentioned in this thread, I'd add The Secret Machines, a band I once thought would be incredibly huge but fizzled out after 3 albums......

nice find, very creative! yeah I like it, my head was nodding along to some of it, cool riffs but the singer is a little much for me. I am definitely a metal fan but not like a right wing metal fan which I feel you have to be a little bit in order to really enjoy thisAdurentibus Spina wrote:Since you mention the White Stripes (formed in 1997), I'll try this for you. Norwegian Black Metal band formed in 1990, but didn't play a show until 1998, and didn't come into their own until the 2000s.Matz wrote:I like some of the stuff posted here a lot fx Arcade fire or the White Stripes but I don't really love any of it. I can't think of one band from the 2000's that's completely blown me away. It's probably outthere somewhere I just haven't come across it

I'm with you when it comes to Lady Gaga. She has done some impressive things and she's a great talent, you can't deny thatfarrellgirl99 wrote:I forgot to add Sufjan Stevens. I'm not crazy about his other work, but his album Age of Adz (2010) blew me away.

The Cookie Monster vox most newer metal bands feature these days has completely turned me off the genre. It's like when I saw Lamb Of God years ago right around when they put out their first album. Band comes out, plays some impressive, catchy headbanging riffage and then this clown who sounds like Godzilla starts singing... cancel Christmas.Matz wrote:nice find, very creative! yeah I like it, my head was nodding along to some of it, cool riffs but the singer is a little much for me.

Portugal has been my favorite (new) band for the past couple years. Their work ethic is amazing, a new album every year, consistent touring, amazing live shows with varied set lists. In the past two years I've seen them 6 times in the bay area alone.John Gourley is one hell of a song writer. It's been nice to see them getting the recognition they deserve lately. They've definitely earned it.Adurentibus Spina wrote:
Portugal the Man are new to me, and very interesting.
Download The Satanic Satanist or In the Mountain on the Cloud, good place to start

Re: Best new bands - post 2000 (or post 9/11)
it makes sense... i usually check out music i don't know that you and a few others post in the Now Playing thread. i can't thank you enough, that guy's music arrived at a crucial moment and it still blows my mind. not a fan of his latest album, though (after just 1 listen).Artemis wrote:It's possible. I'm sure I probably posted a thread about him or a cd in "now playing". You should also check out his sister Martha.Larry B. wrote:Larry B. wrote:

I've always been tempted to do check out Martha. Will do soon too.

hey hype do you like these guys? they seem up your alley
Re: Best new bands - post 2000 (or post 9/11)
I'd never heard of them either, but man... that is right up my alley. Very cool. Klezmer-sounding. The guy on the clarinet is killing it.kv wrote:hey hype do you like these guys? they seem up your alley
In Ep. 2 they go through Pearson Airport in Toronto:
I have a photo of myself walking through that same sculpture.
Hey, I was right. They ARE Klezmer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lemon_Bucket_Orkestra
The Lemon Bucket Orkestra is a Canadian self-described "Balkan-Klezmer-Gypsy-Punk-Super-Party-Band" formed in 2010 in Toronto.
I'm going to see Gogol Bordello at the end of May. I may look into seeing Lemon Bucket Orkestra too. Thanks KV!

Actually Hype, you and your breathren would be proud. I spent the entire evening listening to Rush's Moving Pictures in DTS-MA Blu-ray the entire night.
I was actually quite taken aback at how fresh it sounded. Go figure.

The polyrhythms in that My Sleeping Karma song are pretty cool. That name sucks though. "Sleeping Karma" would've been better. ("My" makes it sound all pretentious and shit). But I really like that song. This thread is impressively successful.
Re: Best new bands - post 2000 (or post 9/11)
I can't describe how healthy it was for me to 'discover' that there was great music coming out in this time. Now, I usually judge a little those who say stuff like 'music died with Jimmy' or whatever. I don't need them to like any of these new acts, but failing to recognize that it's statistically impossible that there are no new musical acts able to comply with their music criteria is just irrational. Unless said criteria has nothing to do with music per se (e.g., 'it must've been recorded before 1983. anything beyond 1983 sucks balls.')
