Recommend a band

posted 10 months ago by ihearithurts

I’ve got a few eMusic credits left for the month, so I need some recommendations. I’m on the 100 credits / month plan and have used them all for 6 months.

Here’s the type of music I’m into, and for my recommendation to you… I’d suggest checking out Mono if you haven’t before.

    Glad to see Mono and Explosions in the Sky on your page (amongst other things) – I caught them live at a club in Kyoto a few years back (EITS opened for Mono) and it was amazing.

    I’d suggest Bonde Do Role, who are a fun Brazilian funk/rap/electronic act, though they might not be up your alley.

    ihearithurts said 10 months ago

    Thanks everybody… I’m going through the list now.

    @DCAY, I always meant to check out Ed Gein, and now that I have I’m totally into them. They even toured w/ my friends in Gaza. Too bad eMusic only has their older album it looks like.

    somanydynamos are good, i havent heard them in a while. if you dig mono, do you listen to tristeza? originally it was some dudes from the locust and jimmy who went on to do album leaf, but its all instrumental and real good. check spine and sensory

    I thought Gein would be up your alley bro, and I didn’t see it in your list. I saw that tour with GAZA and had not checked them out (GAZA) til that show. They put on an excellent performance! You need to get the last Ed Gein album though.

    -Dear & The Headlights – Very chill. Very good.

    speed metal, maybe sometime but usually im watching tv/but when i design i tend to listen to the band alot to brainstorm, unless they suck, then i listen to as much as i can take. and go with the flow, but i dont sweat that to much.
