1st visit to new music

[Aikiwolf]

Off the back of the "Revisiting old albums" thread I thought it'd be nice to have thread covering new music/music you've just discovered.

So here we go!

New bands I'm very much enjoying right now:
Wet Leg
Bodega
Amyl and the sniffers
Fontaines DC
The Dead South
The Mysterines

 

[Alan]

Kid out of Ohio who goes by the stage name brakence.

Can’t quite put my finger on why but his music speaks to me like little else. Makes me wonder wtf I was doing with my life at 20

 

[Johnny75]

Hadn't really heard much of Sam Fender until recently but I find his/ their stuff excellent.

 

[lemonjelly]

Wet leg were recommended to me by a colleague 2 weeks ago. Interesting, and their profile is rising. Just announced a tour too.

 

[sycophantia]

Will have a look at some of those.
Quite liking Wille and the Bandits atm....obviously 'new bands' is relative, anything after 1990 is new to me

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I really like chaise longue by Wet Leg

 

[Tredman]

Love Fontaines DC, Jackie Down the Line is brilliant.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Obviously Wet Leg have only released a couple of singles but I understand they have got plenty of other material written and recorded. I am planning to watch their Glastonbury set with interest.

 

[DogWeasel]

Fontaines DC
Seratones
La Luz

Wife is very much into Tank & The Bangas (seen them live several times).

 

[BillyDee]

I'm not sure if I actually like Wet Leg, or I just think I do because SM tells me I do.
Bit of a Haysi Fantayzee vibe about them, so maybe I do?

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Welcome To Stourbridge 2 (2022), by Various Artists

18 track album

welcometostourbridge.bandcamp.com

Not all of this is “new music”, in fact it is all covers. Covers of local bands by other local bands/artists. All proceeds to Mary Stevens Hospice.

All of these do their own stuff and are worth checking out. Support local music.

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

Only this week did I start listening to London Grammar for the first time.
What a voice she has.

 

[nimrod]

worth checking out Fontaines earlier albums, esp the first. the murder capital had an album out similar time which was really good.

looking forward to some other new albums on order, Bambara, ditz, horse girl, drug church. mysterines as well

 

[Alan]

Lianne La Havas is another I've discovered recently. More singer-songwriter.

 

[The Saturday Boy]

The Novus

 

[The Saturday Boy]

Dinky

 

[The Bear]

Is it just me or are most band names really crap nowadays?

 

[Alan]

Is it just me or are most band names really crap nowadays?

They've always been really crap. Megadeth? Stryper? Bachmann-Turner Overdrive?

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Alan, you ain't seen nothing yet.

 

[sycophantia]

What's wrong with BTO? That's one of the best band names ever....simple is best
