New Band Volleyball Game

I thought this up while eating waffles this morning...a new game. (probably stupid...)

Post the name, style and link to sample a new band you find/dig...

the next person who post must first listen to the sample posted previously and give their thoughts...(thoughts: NOT they suck...they rule...a little more effort and professionalism please)

the only big rule is the CANNOT be major bands...signed to major labels...I'd prefer unsigned or very indie label acts, as the object of this game is to enlighten us all to cool new bands that we would not otherwise know of...

I shall start:

BLACKBOW

Argentinian sleaze/bluesy hard rock


http://www.myspace.com/blackbowrock

This might be an epic rally unless someone else wants to join in and make this game more than a singles match.


That band has a great little biker blooze boogie going on, kinda reminds me of Raging Slab meets Junkyard a bit but thats giving too much credit only by virtue of those two bands being godly. But it's not bad and thankfully it doesn't lapse into heavy metal as these things can.

Actually Raise A Pig is a great little piano laced ditty, some may say Beatlesque.


while were done in South America....


LOS F*CKIN SOMBREROS


Peruvian sleazy baroom squalor


http://www.myspace.com/lfsusa

Nice stuff, Sleazy....almost WILDHEARTSy but not quite...I dug it...

My serve...in this sadly what's destined to be a two man game....


sleazish/punk

THE DUEL

http://www.myspace.com/theduel

I enjoyed this band. A very retro punk sound that teeters along the edges of bands like No Doubt.

Progressive/melodic Metal

The instrumental tracks are out of this world and all of these were recorded in a bedroom/basement.

www.myspace.com/periphery

Thanks for playing Andy....This band was okay...I thought the whole D-tuned guitar riffing gave them too much of a nu-metal sound, which puts a geezer like me off...the vox wer nice and clean...they are very tight....I'd have to hear more to decide...they don't flat out suck....

My serve...again:


blues drenched rawk with southern flava....

TUCSON SIMPSON

http://www.myspace.com/11591783

Ok, I wanna play, cool idea Shiney..
I like the songs I heard from Tucson Simpson. Normally not my style, but absolutely worth checking out. Good vocals and guitar playing. Trying to widen my musical horizon these days, so i might look further into this southern rock style.

Now listen to what good old Eirikur Hauksson (Artch) is up to these days:

Welcome to our game Olafsto...at least RP and i won't be totally alone...I thought it was a neat idea...

Your guy was cool, much mellower than expected, almost majestic in sound....but cool...


my go:


MYSSOURI

dark gothic country...

http://www.myspace.com/myssouri

couple of bands:

Votchi - prog rock band

http://cdbaby.com/cd/votchi

Kramer - prog metal a la Riverside

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=106750182

Steel Raiser - Priest worship

http://www.myspace.com/steelraiser

ah ah ah...


You must first listen to and offer a brief opinion on the band posted before yours...

then you can plug you band (Only one per post please....)

sampled your three...none of them bad really...

VOTCHI were a little snoozy, but solid.
KRAMER was cool....
STEEL RAISER were cool in that totally unoriginal way.....


Here my serve:

WASHED

80's metal

http://www.myspace.com/washedpa

sorry.. i didnt read enough of the rules

my bad!

as for washed - the guitar tone was way too high for my tastes. The singer was not bad but the music was a little grating...

Alex

cool...you may now post another band...if you wish.

I'll take over from here.... (btw Myssouri are great, reminds me of These Immortal Souls)


The Last Gypsys

Their Satanic Majesties Requested low slung rock n' roll

http://www.myspace.com/thelastgypsys

The Last Gypsys sounds fun,bet they are a wild live act. More psychedelic than i would have guessed. That Black Division is a great song. Their logo could use some work, but i enjoyed this.

Now here`s Norways finest Glam boys, Trashcan Darlings:

http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=47313564

Yeah better believe they are, those guys play hard on and off the stage.


Well what can i say about the Trashcan Darlings, their brilliant. They get it! I usually have a good chat with guitarist Chris over at the Glitzine.net forums. His and the Strange's Jacobite's influenced acoustic side project is great as well.


While were in the frozen north.


Midnight Scraper


Swedish Rock N' Soul Dandies. More "Nod" than "Exile".


http://www.myspace.com/midnightscraper

Classic, well written and the vocalist has a very strong voice. The fact that they are from sweden doesnt hurt either.

Crazy math/experimental indie metal played through a clean channel

www.myspace.com/teramelos

That band was crazy and weird...kinda cool....

my go:

Sunset Strip Sleaze.....

STOLEN HEARTS


www.myspace.com/stolenheartsmusic

Not bad, nothing I would sit down and listen to, but great party music..


More party, BACKSTREET GIRLS:

http://www.myspace.com/backstreetgirls

I cant get Myspace at work but this sounds interesting although I'm pretty sure this band is a weinerfest.

Bad Biscut:

http://www.myspace.com/badbiscut1

Not a "new" band (in fact they've been defunct for some time) but some old favorites of mine from the NJ local scene...they've apparently just released a new odds-and-ends CD, which I was totally unaware of until about two minutes ago but which now must become mine ASAF'n P!!!

good old fasion rock here, riffs reminded me of Ac/Dc meets Danko Jones.


One of my favorite unknown bands right here

Modern Rock

http://www.myspace.com/UNTILWERISE

UNTIL WE RISE are hometown boys here in H-burg....They are a tight and talented band...but their noveau "metal" stylings are no my cup o' tea....

my go:


Old school Hardcore

CONDEMNED UNIT

www.myspace.com/condemnedunit

Condemned Unit are pretty cool thrashy hardcore, I like it. Quite Dischargeish I guess.

----------------------

Bishop - http://www.myspace.com/bishopmusic

Really cool modern heavy metal/hard rock

BISHOP were great...had I never laid ears upon STONE TEMPLE PILOTS "Core" album.... but a decent enough band...


now this one may require some to open their minds a teency bit..but they are faves of mine:


WOODBOX GANG

freaky punkish dark bluegrass

www.myspace.com/woodboxgang

Woodbox Gang? Interesting. Sounds like a drunk Neil Young-ish band. I was waiting for the punk part though.

Anyhoo,

Some may not be familiar with The Gothic Killer Clown of Rock N Roll, FiFi LaRue.
I love this guy for some reason. He's the cheesiest. Smurf Kraft Macaroni N Cheese.
At least listen to Chris Holmes' (W.A.S.P.) guitarwork on Kiss to Kill.
