@wolf dog moon, hey I am also new but not singer-songwriter

@Eric generic, never been a huge fan of the dirt tv on the radio album. The link you posted showed me that I should give it a few more listens. Also I will check out more materials by the unicorns. Thank you

Richard Swift

They didnt release much, check out Islands, the album Arm's Way in particular is pretty decent.

Clara Klein, indie pop, unsigned, from T.O. Those two songs are the only ones I know of her, not even sure if she has more.

Hey there, I have so many great artists, that you guys should definitely be checking out especially if you're looking for new music coming out...

1. Foo Fighters- You've probably already heard "Rope" and it's awesome! They're new album, WASTING LIGHT comes out in April 12, definitely be checking it out on their website

2. Glassvegas-This band is increasingly becoming better each time I listen to this song, digitally they have a lot of new music coming out on April 5, but you can go immediately download their song "The World is Yours"

3. The Wilderness of Manitoba-If you're into Mumford and Sons/Swell Season, you have got to check this band out...they are fantastic...they have an EP you can streaming here AOL Music but their full-length is out May 10

4. Funeral Party-These guys are so awesome, I've seen them with Julian Casablancas and now they'll be touring with Panic! At the Disco this summer!!! This new album is fantastic start to finish, but "Finale" is probably my favorite songs!

5. Pearl Jam- Vs and Vitalogy reissues out March 29...I mean it's Pearl Jam, need more? Plus check out the review from Pitchfork

6. Peter Bjorn & John- I know my love for them started a little late with "Young Folks" but let me just say they are so interesting to listen to and if you haven't checked them out, it's not to late to start at all...they just released a new album Gimme Some, which you can hear here

Hey all,

So i recently just reformatted my computer for the billionth time but this time round i decided to start fresh with my music collection so i could discover some new bands. Anyway, so far ive got into Arcade Fire, Kasabian, Queens of the Stone Age and a couple more...

I really like Arcade Fires songs like Rebellion and The Suburbs. In fact i listen to the whole album a lot. The have very strong, emotional music which i think is pretty awesome

Kasabians self titles album also has some great tunes on such as ID which to me, is quite a trippy song. But i have also their other albums which i enjoy as well because of the musical style they use.

Do you guys have any recommendations for similar music? Recommend only one or two so i can check them out easily

Thanks!
