Latest Musical Discoveries
 by Fëanor

Trying a slightly different format for this post this time around. Apologies if it eats up your bandwidth...

All That Remains

I'm a little embarrassed for listing these guys here, as their music is polished, pop-oriented "nu metal." Given that I am not a frat dude, I probably shouldn't like them. But... it's just fun! And I liked listening to it! What can I do?

Billy Talent

Fun Canadian indie rock.

Evacuate Chicago

METAL. That's all you really need to know.

Graveyard

A contemporary band with an amazing blues/classic rock sound. Ridiculously good.

Max Tannone
This dude's a DJ who I became aware of via Twitter. He mixed The Beastie Boys' Check Your Head with itself to create Doublecheck Your Head, and mixed Jay-Z with Radiohead to create Jaydiohead. It's fantastic, fantastic stuff. Click through for free downloads of the full albums.

Night Horse

Like Graveyard, Night Horse is a contemporary band with a stomping, booming classic rock sound.

Them Crooked Vultures

I've been talking about these guys a lot, on this site and on my Twitter, and they've kind of exploded on the radio and the internet, so no introduction should be necessary. They're a supergroup that's actually super. Their debut release is sexy, smart, biting, rocking, and an instant classic.

Pretty Girls Make Graves

Wikipedia calls this band "art punk." Whatever, they just rock. Reminds me a bit of Sleater-Kinney. Not much higher compliment I can give than that.

Red Bus
Not so much a band as an "ongoing hip hop project" by a group of artists. Click through to download a free EP for yourself. It's good stuff.

Rubblebucket

I have no idea how to describe this band. It's a collective of artists with horns and dance beats who do something described as "trip-rock." The point is, it's ridiculously catchy and fun.

Seachange

Sadly this band just recently broke up, but you can still enjoy their music. It has an eerie, prog-rock sort of sound.

Torche

More METAL!! Mostly short tracks with lots of speed and complexity.

White Denim

Rocking indie trio out of Austin. Another band with a classic rock sort of sound.

Yourself and the Air

Thoughtful indie rock.
