Members damnuandurdog Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hi, I'm bored at work and I figured I would pester the Effects forum for some recommendations. Aereogramme is one of my favorite bands and I'm now just getting into Oceansize so is there anything in the same vein? I'm imagining that there are probably some other atmospheric rock bands from the UK that I don't know about. I listed Dredg too because I like their songwriting and textures but I'm not too into the post-hardcore scene like TMV or Circa Survive that they happened to be attached to. Any ideas?

Members SharkMinusBear Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 I love dredg and dig oceansize, I'll have to check out aereogramme.Just because dredg played with circa doesn't make them post-hardcore.... I think of them more as art-rock. probably isn't exactly what you are looking for but:AutoluxBand of HorsesWintersleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check out your recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ThreeGutRock Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 Wintersleep is one of my favourite bands. Definitely check them out. The tune Weighty Ghost will probably play first (which is still a good tune), but not really reflective of most of their stuff. Check some of the other tunes like Archaeologists or Search Party. http://www.myspace.com/wintersleep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThreeGutRock Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 yea i don't even listen to that song because it's so poppy, some of the others ones are great though On a nice sunny day, like today, it's a great tune to throw on. I think it really shows their diversity, and that underneath all their badass jams are these really great melodies/pop songs. Have you seen them live?

I agree with the dear hunter but i didn't really think of them when I heard atmospheric rock. Definitely a good band to check out though, its like a bunch of different music mashed together into something coherent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Monkeybot Posted April 16, 2008 Members Share Posted April 16, 2008 It ruined my year to see that Aereogramme were calling it quits - Saw them maybe 5 years ago in a tiny space with 18 other people (including the staff) - I've written this before, but Aereogramme played like they were standing in front of 30,000. For that alone, they have been one of my favorite bands - They could have been playing Rick Astley covers that night and they still would've been amazing. As for similar bands? Are there any? Pelican, ISIS and the like follow a similar vein, but lack the SONGS. Aereogramme had the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually on a plane out to the Coachella music festival during their last gig in Boston. Oh how I was pissed. I can't believe somebody actually posted Circa Survive. God damn, I regret including Dredg now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SharkMinusBear Posted April 18, 2008 Members Share Posted April 18, 2008 the sound of animals fighting lol, they have a few good songs but I can't stand that most of there cd's are noise. The Heretic is probably my favorite song that they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
