Re: Sounds from the Underground

Favorite bands:
Sonic Youth
Husker Du
Mission of Burma
Wire
Buzzc0cks
X
Naked Raygun
Siouxsie and the Banshees
The Pixies

I am fed up with most mainstream rock, and fed up with most indie rock too. My only real enjoyment comes from exploratory punk/the 80's underground.

I like these bands because they are very genuine.

Re: Sounds from the Underground

Not really all that popular:
Bright Eyes - yick. are you a girl?
Criteria
Cursive - not really unpopular but really good.
Rilo Kiley - love 'em. I also love how a lot of people think Rilo Kiley is one person, a girl. lololol idiots. I'm seeing them this Monday
Interpol - once again: are you a girl??
Shudder To Think
Nic Armstrong and the Thieves
Death From Above 1979 - don't add the 1979! people will call you a noob. they only added the 1979 to avoid a lawsuit from DFA Records. nonetheless, way rad.

yeap. I would like Bright Eyes but Conor Oberst is like the Kanye West of emo-indie-folk. and I cannot forgive Lover I Don't Have To Love, the song that launched a thousand xangas. sorry for not liking music solely manufactured for quoting in away messages.

Re: Sounds from the Underground

Basically Punk and ska for me.

Bad Religion
Pennywise
NOFX << Proper way of typing their name
Choking Victim/Leftover Crack
Against All Authority
Streetlight Manifesto
INDK
Dropkick Murphys
Many more, that's just an Idea.

I would consider them underground, but still pretty poular for that, but some of those "underground" bands that people are listing aren't really underground at all...

[Manyak]

Re: Sounds from the Underground

I have a suspicion that this is going to turn into an "indier-than-thou" hipster snob thread, anyway, here goes...

Broken Social Scene
Do Make Say Think
Iron And Wine
McLusty
Modest Mouse
Mogwai
Plus/Minus (+/-)
Ratatat
Sonic Youth
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Re:
Mischief Brew
Wilco <---- Don't beat me up
The Album Leaf
The Futureheads

[The Dark Jester]

Re: Sounds from the Underground

This thread just reeks of future fights of who's cooler and who likes indier bands.

Some of you strike me as people who listen to obscure music because its cool to listen to bands that noone else has even heard of. And to me theres nothing worse than that.

[Nixon]

Re: Sounds from the Underground

Stuff most people haven't heard of that I listen to? Ok.

Built to spill
45 Dip
Air
Apoptygma Berserk
Bent
Junkie XL
Naid
Propellerheads
The Reverend Horton Heat
Royksopp
Self
Voodoo Child

And I only listen to music I like. I have to like it, or it will annoy me while I draw. There is no way I would listen to something just to say "OMG I LISTEN TO THIS AND NO ONE ELSE DOES SO I AM COOL!" That's just pathetic.
