Im gonna get a panning on this....I liked some of their stuff on first listen. Did you get a slight Dire Straits similarity, particularily with the guitar?

I like that. Will listen to some of their other stuff.

Anyone heard of I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness? (Possibly the best band name ever). I like some of their stuff such as this one:

Anyone heard of Fat White Family..?  Rather trendy right now...  this is a really sleazy / nasty song that I rather like...

Hey Ray, see my  post from page 1 of this  topic 18 months ago re Slaves. I had seen them a couple of months earlier with about 6 other people. Now they are on the Mercury prize short list and next month i will be at their sell out 5000 cap  Brixton Acadamy show. Call me a prophet 

 

Best new band I have seen for ages are called Slaves they completely blew me away, brilliant live, and are a bit different from the norm.

Two songs from a bbc introducing ... gig and a recent perfomance in Paris to enjoy.  I reckon these guys are gonna be big.

You called it, sir!  Excellent band.

You should also check out Wonk Unit, doubt that they will ever be massive, but deserve to be, as they are brilliant, funny and a great bunch of lads. Interestingly they also nutured Slaves in their very early days, as the Slaves boys were big Wonk fans and now are repaying the favour by getting Wonk Unit as support on several of their big shows . Check out the link below.

 This Band is not Really New but I have been going thru all their Releases From Finland Melodic Doom Metal  Band Insomnium. Their latest release is Shadows of the Dying Sun which came out in 2014. Their earliest music came out in 2006

 I have to say that I was not a fan of doom metal (all these different sub catagories of Metal) but I have  to  say these guys can Rock their Last album has over 1 million views and listens on You Tube.

Not so much any specific band but anything released by Fat Possum in Mississippi. I have never heard such raw, anarchic blues in my life. The stuff literally spits electricity. I revere the elders but now when I want the blues, I'll listen to anything on Fat Possum. It's a blues golden age and not too many have noticed yet.

There's a metal band called Diablo that I've heard only few times from radio. Well, yeah I know they're not so new band anymore but to me they are. Quite catchy, crunching riffs and I like their vocalist' sound... Nowadays there are thousands of, uhh well hundreds of big Finnish metal bands that are better known in other countries than in here. Well I'm not so much into metal than I use to write about those bands here. But there's some cool stuff out there yep.

Isolation - Diablo

[Unruh]

They hardly qualify as new but if you like psychedelic music I'd urge you to check out the Japanese band Ghost (same goes for the Boredoms but that's REALLY old). And if you want to hear demonically possessed music from America's deepest woods and bayous, then I recommend the band me and Lotus mentioned on another thread - Wovenhand. That is if you don't mind music you can both enjoy and get the creeps from. Again, not new (I'm sorry, Radiohead were probably the 'newest' band I listened to) but if you like straight up Stones-style rock n  roll with a lot of integrity and heart, you might like the Drive By Truckers.
