Open Your Eyes To The World Of Music

[Malson]

Alright, here's a big thread for people to post awesome bands in that some may not have heard of. I'm always looking for new music, as are a lot of people on here that I know, so if you're interested then this thread is for you as well. Just post bands in the following format:

Band Name

Link to band's myspace or purevolume page

A little description about the band (genre, mood, etc)

[Malson]

Closure In Moscow

http://myspace.com/closureinmoscow

One of the best post-hardcore bands I've heard in a while. They're somewhat progressive too, and have some really powerful music.

Claude Debussy

http://www.myspace.com/139220323

The father of modern music, he pioneered the movement from Romanticism into Modernism, essentially creating his very own personal genre; Impressionism.
It's music that washes over you and absorbs you into worlds of fantasy.

Kimya Dawson

Anti-folk music lol. There's no good songs of hers on the page D: Awesome acoustic music based off of modern themes.

Pain

http://www.myspace.com/officialpain

A one-man band from Sweden. Peter Tägtgren, most likely synthetically (without instruments) creates his own Industrial Metal music. Other people play instruments for him in videos and live.

Kerli

Alt-Rock Pop musician @_@

The Reign Of Kindo

http://www.myspace.com/thereignofkindo

One of the more original bands I've heard lately. Combines indie/alternative kinds of music with jazz and swing, and the result is incredible.

Kerli

Alt-Rock Pop musician @_@

For pop, this is actually really interesting music.

It's the kind of music I'd be ashamed to listen to publicly, though, lol.

[Rune]

Seconded.

Deathstars

http://www.myspace.com/deathstars

Another band from Sweden. The vocals are all mostly low-pitched, and in my opinion, and in a few others I know's opinions, this is a pretty good Gothic Industrial Metal band.

Wintersleep

http://www.myspace.com/wintersleep

I guess Alternative Rock or so ~ I always get mixed up on genres. Their most popular song is Weighty Ghost, but I don't like it very much. In any case, I think they're a great band.

I would have put up Belle & Sebastian but I don't know if they're too popular for this thread.

[Malson]

This thread isn't limited to obscure bands. I mean yeah, putting up something like Zeppelin is a little ridiculous, but I'm sure at least half of the people here haven't heard B&S, so I don't see why not.
