[ZKaudio]

I know a lot of you here listen to fairly mainstream shit... here are some bands you should all check out that put on DAMN good shows but you probably haven't heard of.

-Saosin ( fucking awesome )
-Acceptance ( the best live show u will ever see)
-Pinback ( best chill out music ever )
-Counterfit ( downright good music )
-Alkaline Trio ( fun music )
-Boys Night Out ( my avatar source )
-Cursive ( quality emo )
-The Faint ( sick electronic rock )
-Recover
-From Autumn to Ashes

Some More popular bands people still need to check out:

-A Static Lullaby ( basic metalcore )
-Avenged Sevenfold ( basic metalcore )
-Thrice (goddamn if you don't listen to thrice you'd better start)
-Thursday (good shit, GREAT performers)
-Coheed and Cambria ( unique ownage )
-Strung Out


Now don't just bypass this thread... seriously, take some time and download this stuff... Every band here has the potential to be your new favorite. Adios

Thrice is decent-
I like how their music sounds i just wish they would stay playing heavier more.

 

[ZKaudio]

once again, thrice is pretty mainstream, I posted bands that are NOT mainstream.... so that you guys can do more that just what your radio tells you

 

[Debaser]

Jeez if you're going to post up some indie groups...no offense man but you could do a helluva lot better...how about:

Built to Spill
Modest Mouse
Sunny Day Real Estate (basically invented emo yet is much better than the trash called emo these days)
Neutral Milk Hotel
Slint
Godspeed you Black Emperor!
Interpol
Dismemberment Plan
My Bloody Valentine
Guided By Voices
New Pornographers
The Notwist
Deerhoof
Pavement
The Flaming Lips
Broken Social Scene
The Microphones
Jeff Buckley
Sigur Ros

Of course I could go on with hundreds of others, but those are a few to get some of you guys started on the road towards non-shitty music.

Avenged Sevenfold is very good. Other than that, I hate everything on your list, ZK.

 

[ZKaudio]

not that any of it is super underground, but i doubt you've heard every band on there...

 

[from zero]

About half.

 

[chewyxrage]

i dont listen to the radio

 

[MR.DUMBELL]

From Autumn to Ashes is awesome there old stuff is the best, there new cd is even good , i just picked up thee thrice cd very good cd

 

[seraphElite]

ZKaudio ... i hate people like you...all cuz they play it on the radio doesnt mean its crap...
you act as if mainstream is crap

they are mainstream for a reason...they are good
given a lot of underground stuff is good...but open your mind

 

[Debaser]

Most mainstream IS crap.

they are mainstream for a reason...they are good

Worst logic I've ever heard. They are mainstream because the majority of the American population are dumbfucks with a 2 minute attention span. They'd much rather listen to shit like Nickelback or Linkin Park than bands like Radiohead or Interpol.

 

[seraphElite]

radiohead is mainstream

and worst logic ever? they are dumbfuck if they dont have the same taste in music as you?... and what does having a 2 min attention span have to do with their choice in music?
hrm.... obviously this doesnt work with everything.....but still

 

[ZKaudio]

hey seraph, chill. I simply posted bands you are NOT going to hear about on the radio. why don't you OPEN YOUR MIND before you insult me for introducing you to bands that you will likely not hear about. At any point did i say mainstream is crap? NO. I simply stated that mainstream music is easy to come by and therefore listed some bands that are NOT mainstream...but that also have great music. Reread your previous posts and delete them before more people see how owned you have been!!! My only comment that could have been interpretted as slamming mainstream music was when i said to do more than what your radio tells u... i am referring to the fact that mainstream media promotes mainstream bands and you are unlikely to discover any of these other groups through mainstream information flow. once again... owned.

seraph, chill out bro. ZK is right.

 

[ZKaudio]

tis cool. he was double owned now! jk seraph is a bro

 

[seraphElite]
