I'd be interested to know your opinions

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Instruction

Houston 500

Saosin

Kubrick

Ye Wiles - I'd love these boys to but methinks they are a bit too odd

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Fruity has one word for you: McKinney.
Remember where you heard the name first.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

What, from the mouth of some irritating little fuck who constantly refers to himself in the 3rd person? (do you snicker to yourself as you do that, at the sheer hilarity of your own smug little put-on mannerisms? I bet you do.)

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

I think you've probably got that right, Matt. But what I've heard of McKinney sounds pretty good.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

he means you heard it first on Drowned in Sound
Fruito is actually a DiS writer in disguise

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

I heard about this band Teapicker from my friend who has a limited edition cd of theirs and they're great, like early Flaming Lips but with some great Jazzy flourishes. I heard they're from Northampton but that's all I know, so them, they're who I tip

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Wow, where did you see/hear about ye wiles?

Awsome band who seem to be adding something interesting to an already saturated genre. Personally i feel if they had reached the heights they have now a few years ago they probably would already be big news.

Pity.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Saw them support Lightyear a couple of times, and then bought ' Soothing Away the Horrors of Indigestion '.

Last time I saw them I ended up down the front skanking away like a nutter. Not good for the knees at my age.

Top Class!

Re: H 500 WILL BE big next year

YOUR RIGHT MAN NOT THAT WIERD IM NOT REALY INTO ROCK BUT THEM LADS DO AND SOME MOREYOUR DEFO ON THE PULSE.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

This is some stuff that I've been into for a while, but I'd love to see them get more support...

Dead Poetic
Beloved (US)
Planes Mistaken for Stars
Endless Deceit
Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Cursive (and anything else remotely connected with Conor Oberst)

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Cursive should be huge, there awesome...

other bands that deserve huge attention

jetplane landing - check out there new record!!
right turn clyde - deck cheese boys
my awesome compilation
shouting myke
fletcher

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

jetplane landing never seem to come close to fulfilling their potential. they have jawdropping moments but settle for far too much mundane stuff in between.

oceansize. i can't plug them enough. recognition is deserved.
eden maine - best hc/metal band in the UK right now, and consistently stunning live. fully capable of taking on the US if luck is on their side.
smother - saw them last night, and getting better and better.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

i thought planes mistaken for stars broke up??? fucking great band, it's a real shame....

Youth movie soundtrack strategies are alright as well....

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

nope, i thought that too, until yesterday i read on aversion.com

Planes Mistaken For Stars showed off its new bassist at a house show in Denver last night (Nov. 2).

Chuck French made his debut as Planes' official bass player at a low-key house show in the band's hometown last night. French had been named as the replacement for Jamie Drier since this summer, though Drier didn't part ways with the band until August.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Houston 500 (as one learned chap has already pointed out). They kick the arse off every other band I've heard. Mashtun Grace and Wry are well worth a look too.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Face For Radio
Burnout In The Capital

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Since by Man are cool, spoke to thier bassist about his graphic design recently - check out Taint from South Wales - www.taint.co.uk.

word! \m/

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

The Czars deserve to be really popular. gorgeous country tinged melancholic rock fronted by one of the warmest and agile baritones i've heard. not normally my thing but they hooked me. oddly they don't seem to sell many records at all.

Lift to Experience too, if they ever release something new.

i need to see some new bands, haven't for a while living out here in the sticks...

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

I agree, Lift to Experience are one of my all time favourite bands. Are The Czars in a similar vein? I have mainly been listening to the above, Sparta, Interpol, Mew and The Mars Volta. Do you think they'd be my cup of tea?

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

CAYTO

OWSLEY SUNSHINE

DEAD FLY BUCHOWSKI

CHERRYKICKS

from what i've seen..........

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

OH MAN

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Neil Midgeley And The Referees

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

if your having them im having roundabout

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

if only their records made it into the shops. according to bellaunion.com their new album came out this week!?

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

This should be in my opinion, Alfie indie type british band that have released a few albums and have never caught on, but the new album is damned good. Also a totally new band from Ireland The Revs, I saw these in Clwb Ifor Bach at a Midasuno (they're shite) gig and though fucking hell these dudes are good, the music is really catchy you might know the single 'Death of a DJ' o'r you might not, but trust they're catchy poppy punky songs to enjoy.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

I never expected to be able to find it in the shops sean, so ordered it from www.opalmusic.com (or maybe .co.uk). A very good site, well priced, fast delivery.....when you've got a working postman. You're right, it came out last Monday.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

man are that band derivative, boring and limping lame.
with about 1.5 good tracks on their new album. bukkake gramophone OWN them

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

houston 500 definately. they are from my home town and ive seen them twice live and both times they were excellent...also i have a signed cd and want to sell it for much money. (still think somorset west should get big though)

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

BoxerRebbelion / Franz Ferd. / Rebus / Killers / Beatles

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

yeah have heard good things about mantra

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Stellastarr*

Franz Ferdinand

Luxembourg

Moonkat

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

more hope of the states, franz ferdinand, razorlight and mclusky

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

I'd love to see Sigur Ros make it real big as i think they are the most groundbreaking band in the world. Also, in more of an indie way, The Argonauts as from the 2 songs i've heard, Daniel Fell is a good young writer and this country is short on them. I think Hope Of The States are the real ones to watch.

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

in my opinion i dont think the argonauts are that good. they have potential to be good but it is a bit unrealised so far

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

i thought Moonkat split?

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Did they? Damn

I got some mp3s of here and really liked them.....

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Re: which bands deserve to make it big next year

Curerbell, The Argonauts, RedJetson, South.
