Throw some music bands at me!
|
I've signed up for one of those music subscription services, and the recommendations they frequently give are terrible. I'd rather get them from random strangers on the Internet.
I'm not looking for any specific genre. I listen to them all. I am looking for "recent" bands (say, past 5 years maximum) that could be considered (by you, personally; not critics) inventive for their genre, or are creatively hilarious with their lyrics ala Bill Bailey: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LdjVtHqNxs, and aren't platinum sellers, top 100 billboard, on the radio, or otherwise something anyone would stumble upon crashing someone's college party or watching a movie trailer. So, exilers, toss some music bands at me. Let's see if you can do better than these algorithms telling me I should check out Hans Zimmer. |

Here's some off the top of my head.
Tame Impala: Aussie stoner rock, 2 albums so far and both have won rolling stone album of the year. Hermitude: Again Aussie (I'm an Aussie and it's what I tend to listen to). Laid back beats, perfect for background music. I'm a electronic music fan, these are a few that I've listened to lately: Flume, Flux Pavilion, Timo Mass, Swedish house mafia. Aussie hip hop: Bliss n Eso, Horrorshow, Spit Syndicate, 360, Illy. There are many peeps here who love metal, but I'm not one of them. "Withdrawing in disgust is not the same as apathy"

I am way too lazy to link stuff, but here's a few bands I dig-
Murder By Death (not as heavy as it sounds) Mogwai Sigur Ros If you're into heavier stuff- Poison the Well The Dillinger Escape Plan Iwrestledabearonce And my all time favorite band (just in case you never heard of them)- Nine Inch Nails All the things I want to remember are in the places I'd like to forget.

Luke: Sorry we have to leave you here, but it just ain't right to eat your wife's and daughter's brains. Plus you're really disgusting and I don't want to spend anymore time with you.

Nice post
Ok... here goes. Chvrches (has an 80s pop feel but way cooler.) Two Door Cinema Club (alternative/indie) Ronald Jenkees (instumental/electronic) Crooked Still (blue grass/celticish) Fitz and the Tantrums Franz Ferdinand Purity Ring The 1975 Young the Giant Those should give you a start for thats type of bands. Most are Indie. Some are on the radio but nothing top 40. "Man, it's like we're fighting housewives and their equipment." - Millennium

The Dear Hunter - The wiki description of their sound really doesn't do them justice. Easily one of my favorite bands of the last 5 years. They combine a lot of different genre elements and had one of the most interesting concept type Album series I've had the joy of stumbling upon. (Maybe 2 years older than your time frame but they just released a new album!)
