Dan_Dare Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 OK, here's the crack. this here be a thread to name drop and inform the unwashed masses about the bands you've come across on myspace and the like- small bands that wont be that well known or don't have much material out. I'll start with two personal favorites I may well have mentioned Performance Performance are a Manchester based art pop electro outfit, mixing articulate lyrical style with punchy bass lines and sweeping keyboards. They owe elements of their style to the likes of New Order and The Human League while retaining a very modern edge to their sound. I like these guys alot- you can buy a four track LP and a single of theirs off itunes. Art Department These guys are good friends of mine from Sheffield. slightly reminiscent of early days radiohead and the like, they have a taste for the epic bombastic pop song. combining truly superb vocals and effects driven sharp guitars with thudding bass lines they're probably one of the best bands on the Sheffield gig scene right now. hopefully destined for greater things. They've certainly got the talent for it.
Letty Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Im sure there is a thread in the creative board just like this, or similar..
Dan_Dare Posted October 29, 2006 Author Posted October 29, 2006 I wouldn't know. I never go anywhere else but in here :P
Shino Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 I've said it before in the meaningless thread, I like Art Department, a lot. The other link takes me to somewhere I suppose it's not the intended location.

The Bard Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 Oh wait, my mates band, Beyond Ruin have ridiculously amazing drumming, but the rest blows so hard it's fucking ridiculous...
ipaul Posted October 29, 2006 Posted October 29, 2006 ABSOLUTE SYMMETRY!! Well actually thats that band im in (bassist) We're really not that good at all, but we havnt been together long, only since earlier in the year, and I've only been playing bass since about January. Can any muse fans guess where our name came from... http://www.myspace.com/absolutesymmetry
Roostophe Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 JKF - I know these guys from school. They have a brilliant vocalist and their guitarists are both superb. Their song "Girl From The City" is definitely worth a listen.
demonmike04 Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 The one that slits their wrists! Wait..I may need to narrow this one down a heck of alot more.. Stereotyping rocks
Dieter Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 Something completely different, but here's a fairly talented she-jay. I like her style. Ready to fuck! http://www.myspace.com/uffie
BeerMonkey Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 enter shikari http://www.myspace.com/entershikari o and before people start classifing myspace as a emo webby its got bands of all genres on there :/
mcj metroid Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 i have one on bebo but not myspace.Never really went onto bands.Im sure there are some good ones there despite what bard says
BeerMonkey Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 ALL bands have a myspace now so bard is saying he doesnt like music lol
mcj metroid Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 so in a way isnt this thread the exact same thing as asking your favourite band?
BeerMonkey Posted October 30, 2006 Posted October 30, 2006 i think its for bands that dont have music contracts and have only heard of via myspace
