Soda Jerk Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I haven't heard the new album and I had no intention to, but one of the new Green Day singles is pretty smart:Green Day – Nuclear FamilyThe other singles from the album are pretty awful.

kirsten Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 Chickenhawk – Modern BodiesBand from Leeds. They've played up here a couple of times. My old band played with them a ton of times around Leeds. I used to think they were a bit crap. Not heard anything by them for ages. This came out a couple of years ago. It seems BAND GOT GOOD!Riffs and stuff.They are now called Hawk Eyes. We saw them support Andrew WK in Glasgow. They had an album out this year that is also on Spotify for your judgement: Hawk Eyes – Ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I didn't know that. Chickenhawk is a better name. I will listen to the album though, and pretend they are still called Chickenhawk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroopy121 Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Loads of music what is good.Hum – Downward Is HeavenwardAbsolutely huge as fuck grunge/shoegaze 'geek-rock'. Like a less doomy Jesu, or a heavier Weezer/Dinosaur Jr, or poppier Quicksand, though still just as, if not heavier. 'If you are to Bloom' and 'Green To Me' absolutely kill. Great riffs. So much tone. Walls of fuzz! Headphones on, volume up. Punch your brain in the face.This is fucking excellent. Really enjoying this record!xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't listened to Stars yet but really enjoyed the other two records.Also got some Archers of Loaf stuff. Holy Fuck. Unfeasibly good band.I've also definitely decided that this spotify nonsense is worth the £10 a month - provided my phone's battery holds out through a working day's listening. If not I'll probably try to trade/sell my ipod classic against a touch and use it there. Having ALL THE MUSIC available to listen to is just insanely awesome. It sounded like a superfluous idea to start with and one that wouldn't be worth much at all in real terms... but being able to have a full days worth of new records to listen through at work, every day, is fucking good as fuck. Plus it's a fuckload more convenient than piracy.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Spotify is definitely worth it, the missus has it at home, and it's great for checking out new bands.More instrumental based goodness would be Grails ~ Burning off Impurities 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Spotify is the best thing to happen in this whole music-going-digital business, ever. I've also discovered buttloads of new bands just by clicking on related artists of bands I already like. You can get lost just clicking on one related artist, and then another, and another and so on. It's mental. And GREAT. And just so worth it. £5.00 a month if you just have it on your PC, ad-free. Heaps of people moan about the adverts, as if the adverts are reaching out of the screen and kicking them in the throat. Just pay the fiver then. Cheapskate knobs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheapskate knobs.Yeah the adverts to absolutely kill the enjoyment. Especially when you're listening to a record which is designed to have one track bleed seemlessly into the next. £5 a month is shit all, but I'll rarely use it on my laptop as the sound is baws. Downloading records to my phone is where it's at, yo.xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have released loads of stuff and I don't own most of it but I can recommend 'Desire in Uneasiness'.Not shoegaze at all but for instrumental work, has to be Dirty Three. 'Whatever You Love, You Are' is always my first recommendation. Then 'Ocean Songs'. Then 'Horse Stories'. Then just everything really. In many ways my favourite album by them is the 'Live at Meredith' one, the versions of the songs on that are jus so intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Holy fuck, this record is excellent.xxIt really is. Copout is probably the best song ever made. That breakdown... Good grief. Pure RAGE! The first album is great also. They were responsible for a bunch of other great bands too...The singer, Jason, went on to do None More Black who are one of my favourite bands.The guitarist, Dan, he was in Lifetime before Kid Dynamite, who are excellent, then he went on to do Paint It Black, who are raging as hell, like KD, but angrier.The bassist was in The Loved Ones, who are THE BEST at pop punk.Drummer Dave was in a bunch of bands, but most notably Good Riddance on their best album - Symptoms of a Levelling Spirit.Listen to all of them, and UP THE PUNX! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
