Re: Best bands of the moment?

Exits by The Boxer Rebellion. I cannot get enough of this album at the moment. It's a shame it only entered something like 795 in the album chart when it was released. Here's hoping a forthcoming single will boost it's position!

Re: Best bands of the moment?

400 Blows, I doubt they will ever evolve beyond their state of playing some shows in LA and touring with their friends in the rest of America and Europe, but they are amazing.

Re: Best bands of the moment?

What are they like? I'm intrigued, I don't know why..

Metal crossed with punk, Black Flag and Die Kreuzen. You can download some songs from their first album at http://www.400blows.net/ under discography

really looking forward to The Brakes album

Re: Best bands of the moment?

Sorry. I must be retarded. I like most of these names of bands, but I can't glean a thing from the name and name, only.

Am not averse to MP3's, but not all that interested in fighting that power that is, so to speak, will rather head out to Virgin, and find what I want.

BTW, have you ever reached the conclusion that all the best out-of-print CD's, such as US3, Ciccone Youth, among others, need to be special-ordered or otherwise found used?
