Bands that sound like....

What's Hot
I'd be up for hearing stuff that sounds like early Modest Mouse, Lonesome Crowded West in particular. Preferably fairly shouty and screamy. In fact anything that sounds like MM at any point in their existence is going to be of interest.





Anyone can ask for recommendations. Just be as specific as you can as to the band(s) or genre etc.

    The first British Sea Power album is an obvious recommendation here

    It's an excellent album. Just a shame that when playing live:

    The vocals don't really do it for me. Bit weak.

    Can hardly hear Abi, the viola player

    Much of the heavier stuff loses its edge, it doesn't even seem too be played as fast as the album material.

    I do like them though and Decline..... is their strong point. I love the title of the debut. For those who don't know, it's called The Decline of British Sea Power.

    Given you a wisdom for great taste.

    Also, the Pixies - Come on Pilgrim.  Can't find it on Youtube, but if you have spotify it's https://open.spotify.com/album/0YXEvIGfgX8LKrSSgnciZt

  • Great suggestions @dtr ;

    I have The Pixies and I was aware of the others but taking another look at BTS has been really fruitful. I quite like them and I prefer You in Reverse as an album. You just got me into a band, thanks.

    Exploring BTS on Youtube led to Dinosaur Jr- another band I'd not listened to properly and appreciated and some other stuff I'll revisit.

    Seeing as you have good taste, what else do you listen to?

    Cheers @camoflamingo, not sure about 'good taste', and don't say you didn't ask for it... 

    I guess I need to chuck in an honourable mention for possibly my favourite 90's album, Yerself is Steam by Mercury Rev  Blew me away back then and still does.



    These days I'm mostly more chilled.  I listen to a lot of Americana-ish stuff
    Bunny Gets Paid - Red Red Meat
    Roomsound - Califone
    Sojourner - Magnolia Electric Company
    Bad Debt - Hiss Golden Messenger

    I'm also quite partial to Abstract Rap
    When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold - Atmosphere
    Audition - P.O.S.
    None Shall Pass - Aesop Rock
    The Mighty Ocean and Nine Dark Theatres - Astronautalis

    Hope you enjoy something there!
