PaulBrewer

Glas Vegas gets a big thumbs up from me ...

phelixoflaherty

Been there lad. Start going back Talking heads, suicide,Robert Wyatt, Nick Drake,Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Any good folk, and then you will find the blues, then pop forward to funk, and after all that you will probably end up at Al Green.

Ekels

This Town Needs Guns- Animals
Youthmovies- Good Nature
Johnny Foreigner- Waited Up Till It Was Light

I really think you'd enjoy those albums and bands.

markesmith

Nirvana: Pixies, Sonic Youth (Daydream Nation)
Beatles: Love (Forever Changes), Velvet Underground, Zombies (Odyssey & Oracle)
Interpol: Joy Division, Depeche Mode (Violator album)

Also - Panda Bear is well worth a listen.

AnonoBoy

You should check out Menomena. Fantastic band.

kraggy

Lykke Li
Crystal Castles
Sigur Ros

Try out Finger Eleven. You might not like them, but its worth a shot.

Here's two of my favourite songs by them:

Fleet Foxes - http://www.myspace.com/fleetfoxes

to my ear they manage to sound like Neil Young, The Beach Boys, America, Nick Drake, Richard Thompson simultaeneously while having their own unique sound...highly recommended

I'd highly recommend a band called "Ketch Harbour Wolves" that probably no one in Ireland has ever heard of. They're not quite as heavy as Interpol but the lead singer does have a kinda Ian Curtis/Paul Banks voice.. They're from Toronto and you can download their album for free off their website. http://www.ketchharbourwolves.com/

They don't have even have a wikipedia page as far as I'm aware!
Really good album though..despite it being pretty short.

shakespeare

sun kil moon and generally anything by Mark Kozelek

(whats next to the moon - AC/DC covers album he's done. amazing)

insinkerator

I'll second the sun kil moon recommendation I have April, Ghosts of the great highway and tiny cities. All excellent, especially April imo

Valcin

At the moment my two favourite new bands are :

Holy **** - From Canada, they are kind of like battles, their album is amazing www.myspace.com/holy****

R.S.A.G. - New Irish guy, sounds a bit like the singer of interpol mixed with talking heads. The album is my favourite album of the year and he's from kilkenny.
www.myspace.com/rarelyseenaboveground

insinkerator

your holy**** link doesnt work valcin.

I will also vouche for them though, must have a look into R.S.A.G

Fanny Cradock

Miracle Fortress (check out my sig). I really love these guys.

I tried to put in the normal holy **** link but because the f word part of their name comes up as **** the link wouldnt work so i changed it to that above which was the link from my home page but doesnt seem to work either for some reason. If you want to find it manually type in www.myspace.com/holy**** but change the last four letters to the f word (what a pain in the hole!)

Yeah, you should defianately get on to R.S.A.G. (i sound like im connected to him or something but i'm just really excited that something like this is coming from ireland) he's just come out of nowhere to make what i reckon to be one of the best indie irish albums of all time, its only out a few weeks and anyone i know thats heard it reckons it is savage. Its just one dude playing all the instruments. Animal.

While I would agree both with Holy F*ck and R.S.A.G (Rarely Seen Above Ground) I would dispute that Holy F*ck are like Battles - I find them very different.

RSAG is class though - check him out live too and pick up his album in Road Records - buy independent!

Hey AnonoBoy, ya you're right that they do sound different but the thread starter had Battles listed as one of his favourite bands and i definately reckon that anyone that is in to Battles would like Holy F*ck as well. They both do instrumental rock music with a singer putting mad effects on their voices but I'd say Battles would be more guitar orientated while Holy F*ck would be more toy synth orientated but id be suprised if someone who liked one didnt like the other. I may check out menomena. Any other suggestions along the lines of the bands i mentioned?

Michellenman

Port O'Brien.
Can help but jig to them.

Kold

Saw Holy f*ck in London during the summer. Was alright.

OP I advise going more electronic. Deadmau5, Modeselektor, Digitalism, Justice etc.

CliffClav

I have to agree about R.S.A.G. I saw him at Castlepalooza (dumb name) before the album was released and taught he was savage. At the time I didn't even know who he was. Then I heard a friend talking about this new album by R.S.A.G. and really liked it. It was only last week that I found out that the guy I saw at the gig and the new album were the same guy.

I agree with all of the above, especially with Nick Drake and Talking Heads. If you like Nirvana, another great grunge (well grunge/country) band is the Meat Puppets. Check out the album "Too High to Die". You could give The Smiths a listen too, one of my favourites.
