Okay quick enquiry, are eather of these two bands any good, and then more importantly, are the albums any good?

Afghan Whigs - Gentleman
..And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead - The Secret of Elena's Tomb

Afgan Whigs are pretty good I used to listen to them a lot in the mid 90s.

Their early stuff is kinda raw garagy grungy stuff but they mellowed out with each album & got more & more soulful & wrote more tuneful songs.

Gentlemen was released slap bang in the middle of their career and was their breakthrough album , so you kind of have the best of both worlds on that album , it has more energy than their later stuff but better songwriting than the early stuff. If you like that i`d highly recommend Congregation & Black Love ,which were the albums released before & after Gentlemen.

Sounds to be heard
 

i'm really feeling One Thousand Pictures.

Check them out @ myspace.com/onethousandpictures
recommended songs- 1.Take My Everything
2. Cold Rain

Ah excellent, thanks:D

Yeah I saw Gentleman going for 6 dollars at a store and so came home to see if I'd like them, I got half way through downloading some songs and it all turned to crap, my host went away. Try again today and maybe go back and grab it tomorrow.

Sounds interesting though.

Listen out for Carnavas, an album by Silversun Pickups. Excellent.

So um, indie band Cud, anyone like them, or more importantly, love them?

Interested in buying a cheap album of their's ("Rich and Strange") so any opinions would be sweet.

Generator - The Holloways
The Compromise - The Format
The Gutterati - The Fratellis
Deadwood - Dirty Pretty Things

The Rifles - amazing live
The Bronx , Alterkicks , Josh Pyke , Grizzly Bear

all great new indie bands :)

^I''m going to see the Rifles live in November!

And now you suckers check out this band:
I say Marvin (Formerly know as Marvin and the ***es)

Ratatat is worth looking into.
