Listening on thesixtyone (http://www.thesixtyone.com/ if you're interested--lots of cool not-so-well-known music).
Awesomeness: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UvzD4gZnw4 Buying the CD now. negke
Cool stuff, I never heard of him before (I don't think...) but I'm at the edinburgh festival every year! pjw Kinda reminded me of RATATAT, if you haven't watched this video, do, it's awesome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fk8qcGOtBFw Yes, those are clips from Predator. thank you so much for posting that. gorgeous.. the first track especially. definitely bookmarking this for a proverbial rainy day :-)
And here is some sunshine: http://www.jamendo.com/album/63395

You MUST get hold of Swollen Members - Armed To The Teeth. It is fucking fantastic. Swollens' previous albums (Balance, Bad Dreams, Heavy, Monsters In The Closet & Black Magic) have all been great but this is the next level for sheer dopeness. The beats are so PHAT they make Sloper look anorexic, and then you get to track 13 - Flyest and holy fucking bass it's outrageous (don't listen to this unless you have a good system it's a waste). Only downside is that the lyrics are less creative and more gangsta than before but the sheer phlava and catchy choruses make up for it. It's pretty much like Swollen have incorporated the best bits of Ludacris and Eminem. I've just started the 4th play of the CD in a row....just get it okay. That was copied off another forum so change "Sloper" to "CZG", they're both fucking lardarses ;)

Quite Quakey except for the singing, which isnt all Quakey but some is. Nothing hurts my world, just affects the ones around me. When sin's deep in my blood, you'll be the one to fall That's Quakey! Irrelivant really, the tune is just awesome. kinda funny for me to say this as a canadian but that band sounds way too North American for me. My favourite band now is Opeth, much more intellectual, laid back, as far as metal goes.
Because by your own ommission you are from N.A. lol. I would have though "too emo" or "singer sounds too much like Axl" or somethng like that.
Maybe its like me saying I dont like the Arctic Monkeys (which I dont) because they sound too much like they are from the north of England (which they do). Still eh, North America is a BIIIG place with a L00T of bands. yeah I know bad choice of words lol
Axl Rose can go to hell btw, listening to him bitch about Cobain makes me feel good about the music industry (not because Cobain was a good musician, but because Rose - "so badass" - couldn't understand why his commercial shit was falling to anti-commercial shit). Alice in Chains, to me, sounds VERY North American - a lot of repression, stupidity, hard drugs, bad choices. I still love them. Opeth sounds very european - sophisticated, sober (at least from the hard - and I do mean HARD, see AIC - drugs) long enough to be mournful. As a North American I appreciate that our addiction and stupidity can make great music, but I envy the intelli9gence of Europe still. with me and steve and rick who is our bassist.
That means we have two Steves and two Ricks. Watch this space :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHGaBzQwGAs They are pretty darn good methinks. Quite trancy. A bit like Red Sparowes but with a female vocalist, violin player and less distortion. I never got the appeal of Mega Man but this is nice: http://megabeardo.blogspot.com/p/download.html
