Beat Writer  Posts: 199 Joined: 19 Oct 2008     | I saw the name 'avenged sevenfold' and had to come in here...I love them <3 :D But no...I have no band I haven't found out about...Maybe Pearl Jam if you mean heard the name but NEVER listened to a song. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 920 Joined: 24 Oct 2007  | I didn't know about Minus the Bear until a friend of mine played a song for me on his birthday; I've been hooked since and bought all their records. Really good band. |
Beat Writer Posts: 172 Joined: 30 Aug 2008 | minus the bear is pretty good, i just found out about them too this year. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 967 Joined: 17 Aug 2008    | Hm, I would have to go with either Avenged Sevenfold or Senses Fail, heard of them both in January, and I've been listening to them even since. Amazing bands. |

Paperboy  Posts: 25 Joined: 4 Nov 2008  | When I heard Strange Times by The Black Keys in GTA4 I loved it. Listened to a few of their other songs and I'm really starting to like them. |

Beat Writer  Posts: 172 Joined: 2 Jul 2008     | Hmmm...I would have to say Firewind. Greek Melodic Power Metal/Thrash Metal band. I like their two most recent albums, especially. I like their blend of synth sounds with pure metal and powerful vocals. The song that got me hooked, cheesy as it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XmqYqy3d3E EDIT: This video is above typical YouTube quality, probably because it comes from the official label. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1610 Joined: 13 Oct 2008  | Pretty much every band that I hear on the FIFA series. They do a really great job packing that game full of great, "unknown" bands that have very original and awesome sounds. I can't name any off the top of my head, but like I said, there are some really great ones in there! |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 603 Joined: 8 Nov 2008   | Hmm I'd say despite the fact he (okay not a band but a musical artist) is nothing like what I usually listen to Mike Doughty. I heard I Hear The Bells and loved it. Also Story Of The Year...my friend introduced me to them over summer and I got addicted to the song Anthem Of Our Dying Day. |

I'm guessing you've never heard of Kraftwerk? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3086 Joined: 13 Jul 2008 |
Ah, you beat me to it. On topic, I would have to say Mumford and Sons. They're a folk/indie (if indie even exists properly anymore) band, who have a fanbase of about five people. Check them out! |

Sigh yes and theres alot of other stuff out before I know, maybe father's is an overstatement, how about pretty damn influential to modern electronic music, along with 808 state, and New order and a whole load of other stuff. Happy now? |

Sounds like a Bauhaus fanboy singing for a cliched nu-metal band |

If you like all those guys so much, you should listen to Juno Reactor. Pretty influential in their own right, and pretty awesome. http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=ppHS81YECYY |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2586 Joined: 27 Sep 2008    | I learned about that Jonathan Coulton chap recently. He's pretty good. Not technically a band, but still relevant I reckon. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1470 Joined: 21 Jun 2008   | Well, most of the bands I learned about this year have a song in one of the Guitar Hero games. The best one I've heard so far is from An Endless Sporadic, but the only song I've heard from them is Impulse, so that could change. And I've just listened to some more of their songs; yeah, they're decent across the board. That's good. I don't like one-hit-wonder bands. They're also a fairly new band, which explains the fact that they don't have as many songs as I thought they did. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1615 Joined: 4 Jul 2008  | Audioslave, System of a Down, and disturbed, the best bands i've found this year. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2013 Joined: 24 Sep 2008  | Looking through my iTunes library, the bands that I like most that I've first come across this year are Andrew Bird, Apostle of Hustle, Bedroom Walls, Beirut, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Jeffrey Lewis, Portugal. The Man, Red Sparowes, and the SSRIs. I kind of have eclectic taste. |
Paperboy  Posts: 44 Joined: 28 Nov 2008  | Coldplay heard them on either the Daily Show or Colbert Report |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 539 Joined: 12 Mar 2008   | I first heard Muse this year in some random youtube video. Don't remember what the video was but now I love Muse. |

actually he's correct for techno as for Kraftwerk they were more industrial than anything, Derick May, Juan Atkins and Kevin Saunderson were Kraftwerk fans when they made Detroit Techno |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4581 Joined: 22 Jun 2008    | White Stripes- Well technically I have only listened to one of their songs, but it is A+. Seven Nation Army. Sublime - Decent, woudn't say I love. Opeth - Its melodic kinda which I like. |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 489 Joined: 14 May 2008 | Turisas, Tyr, Andrew Bird, Nile, Wolfchant, and Gov't Mule. Fuckin' love them all. They all started as songs I snagged from a friend's Ipod then I downloaded all their songs. Love'em. |

there seems to be a lot of music threads here, so i decided to add one. every year we always find out about a band we've never heard before but fall in love with the sound the first time you hear any of their stuff. personally mine this year would probably be bedouin soundclash, street dogs and avenged sevenfold.
what's one of your favorites that you just learned about this year?
