Start a thread about the band (if there isn't one already) if you want to express your interest in them - unless you're replying to someone's request.
Don't knock it Sidewinder. I joined his forum hoping to discover new and interesting bands and this thread has led me to bands that I had never heard of before including Shearwater, an unsolicited offer. I know it's not how the thread was meant to work but it works for me.

Shearwater is great, and their album, Rooks, is fantastic. Also, if you like them check out Okkervil River.



EDIT: Some people think Okkervil River is better, but I have to disagree - Shearwater has a much more varied sound than Okkervil does.
