Members DonaldDemon Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 I desperately need some new music! I am going to order a Pelican album because I like the clips and have been suggested to check them out since I really got into ISIS.....Which album should I start with?....Any others int his genre? Any other suggestions as to great stuff I'm missing would be peachy. I'm uber-picky so unless it really blows me away, it gets put to the wayside and collects dust. Sad to say, I usually end up liking the more well-known stuff even if its underground (does that make sense?). I guess I can't settle for mediocre. I have been trying to listen to new bands but I have been failing in my purchases. By new bands I mean new to me. Here are some recent CD's I bought that I got into: ISIS - PanopticonEd Gein - Judas Goats and DieseleatersThe Faint - Danse Macbre/ Wet From Birth Here others that I am currently listening to: TomahawkMuseRadioheadThe Jesus lizardFlaming LipsFugaziSunny Day Real EstateDeftonesFloyd....etc What do ya got?

Members joncyberboy Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 I really like The Raconteurs album for some lo-fi solid poppy rock.Also if you don;t have them already go and get The Fragile and The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails, they are great album.In that heavy, doomy genre i suggest the 1st Down album called NOLA. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=17869715Also worth checing out Corrosion of Conformity, i think they have a myspace page.http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=34917394Then there's my band! Plastic Toys, link in my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members voerking Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 i really like the first, self titled Pelican ep. their other stuff has been more uneven (IMO, of course). their weak link has always been their drummer...he's at his best on that EP.

Members murch33 Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 You really can't go wrong with any Pelican. The first EP and Australasia are heavier than the new album The Fire in Our Throats Will Beckon the Thaw, but it's all awesome. Also, if you've only heard Panopticon then you need Oceanic. As for other bands in that style, I'd recommend Neurosis, Old Man Gloom, Mouth of the Architect, Cult of Luna, Jesu, Tarentel, and maybe even the latest Earth album if you like the softer, more mellow sides of Isis.

I actually just ordered Oceanic. I definitely like the softer melodic side of Isis so I will definitely check out Earth. Any album in particular?

Members murch33 Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 If' you're gonna try some Earth I'll warn you that they're primarily in the doom/drone genres, but their latest album Hex: Or Printing in the Infernal Method is very laid back and mellow. It might not be the best recommendation if you're coming from the Isis/Pelican side of things, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just kind of getting into the doom stuff so its all new to me.Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GuyaGuy Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 you should check out the Red Sparowes! they're on Neurosis' label and one member's from ISIS, another does the Neurosis visuals, etc. anyways, it's sorta like ISIS/EITS/MBV.

Members murch33 Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 A lot of the bands mentioned so far have some overlap with post-rock as well. Mono, Tarentel, Growing, Grails... And of course the big guns like Mogwai, GY!BE, and EITS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbbeSauniere Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Check out Buried At Sea, Old Man Gloom(members of Converge, Cave-In & Isis) and Om. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members omor Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Old man gloom kinda bores me. but at the same time I can listen to Earth droning on for hours at end. I like the new spaghetti-western sound to Hex, I like it a lot. I also saw Dylan walking around downtown with a snare a couple weeks ago (I live around seattle), so I cranked up Hex with the windows down and got a smirk out of him. I've been digging russian circles, I actually get to see them tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaghetti-western sound? I will defintely have to check that out.I love that C&W/Surf sound incorporated into rock. Kind of like some earlier Modest Mouse stuff.

Actually, their first 2 kind of do that to me, but I love Zozobra and Christmas. Originally posted by omor but at the same time I can listen to Earth droning on for hours at end.

Members themeanreds Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 the record Satin Black by Paik (on the Strange Attractors label) is gorgeous, heavy instrumental rock. Not as heavy in a drop-tuned sense as many bands discussed in this thread; rather, think Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky but warmer, sludgier, and more visceral, and without the penchant towards chin-scratching sterility (in my opinion) of those two bands .

Members fuzzup Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Check out anything by the Ravonettes. Surf, punk, 50s vibe, with great songwriting. For some great fuzzed out garage rock check out The Dirtbombs or Gories, Cmon, Soledad Brothers, or the Black Keys. Judging by the stuff you mentioned it seems like you would like Franz Ferdinand, Gang of Four, The Specials, Wolf Parade, and We are Wolves. But Im sure youve heard of those bands, if not check em out. Glad to see others that dig the Faint they are surprisingly a kick ass live band.

Members fearofnightmare Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 +120654897 for the Faint. Try these if you dig them: Primal Scream - XTRMNTR Jakalope - It Dreams Milemarker - Satanic Versus If you're getting down with the Doom, try these out: Khanate - Capture & Release OM - Conference of the Birds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitownTerror Posted June 29, 2006 Members Share Posted June 29, 2006 Pelican is an incredibly loud live band. When I saw them here in Chitown at the Bottom Lounge, they were so loud the plate in my leg was vibrating. Talk about uncomfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
