Recommend me recent music(last 2 years)

[Nevuk]

I haven't listened to more than 75 or 100 releases since the latter half of 2007, and very little from 2008 or 2009. Makes me feel kind of bad, but it's been too long for me to catch up easily on my own. Some people may remember me and what my music taste were, but they've gotten a bit more diverse. I like screamo (but there's not really any good bands left) and really intense music in general, but despise all metal and enjoy somewhat laidback rap/leftfield hip-hop. Free Jazz is another peronal favorite. You can check my profile, it's fairly accurate. Most of what I listen to within rock is either derived from hardcore or has heavy roots in posthardcore, even if they sound nothing like it.
Anyways, here is a list of more recent things I enjoy:
Why?
Titus Andronicus
Clipse
Past Lives
Champagne Champagne
Gumbi
Mars Volta - the caveat here is that Amputechture is my favorite and that I enjoyed both goliath and octahedron.
Alias
Sole and the skyriders band
Bill Dixon
Elliot (Louisville)

Thing I hate :
Generic pop/punk.
Almost all pop/punk, because it's almost all generic.

William Elliot Whitmore - Alone in the Dark
Woven Hand - Ten Stones
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!

I'm not really much on folk most of the time. I'll check out woven hand though.

[CalRahhh]

Nick Cave + Bad Seeds are not a folk band though, and you most definitely need to check out Dig Lazarus Dig!!! Amazing album. Then check out their back catalogue.

[murrich]

Yeah sorry, I don't know too much about hardcore. Have you heard Tail Swallower and Dove by These Arms Are Snakes?I'm assuming you would have.

I don't actually like modern true hardcore haha, probably should've put that. At least, I dislike the sxe stuff and find that most true hardcore missed the point and stopped innovating.
Those are posthardcore though, and I should listen to taas more.
I start school in another week but haven nothing better do so should be able to dig this stuff out and listen to all of it. I've never liked Nick Cave before, but i'll give it a try.

[Regards]

Do you dig any post-rock?

[SmokieB.High]

Portugal the man has had a couple of solid releases

Somewhat, but not much - I love Slint, but gybe bores me.

[Regards]

Somewhat, but not much - I love Slint, but gybe bores me.
Saxon Shore - The Exquisit Death Of Saxon Shore
and
Caspian - Four Tree's

For post-rock. I think you might enjoy.

[Cuddleworthy]

times new viking, japandroids, the mae shi

basing these off your liking titus andronicus

[alice+interiors]

Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear are worth catching onto.
Florence and the Machine - Lungs is a great album, incorporates some soul, r'n'b and pop into her fantastic voice.
Jeffrey Lewis and the Junkyard - 'Ere Am I is a good indie-folk album in a similar vein to Kimya Dawson, though you said you weren't much into folk.

[Jumpoff]

Double Dagger (RIYL: Fugazi)
The Enablers (RIYL: Slint)
Suffocate for Fuck Sake (RIYL: Envy)
Brainworms (RIYL: A bit more hardcore version of BvS maybe? I can't really giev a good RIYL for these guys)

You might like these. I think.

I don't think these fit exactly what you're looking for, but I'd also say check out

A Place to Bury Strangers (noise pop a la Jesus and Mary Chain)
Mass Movement of the Moth (awesome posthardcore band that broke up in 07)
The Catalyst (Hardcore mixed with some psychadelic riffs)
Mammoth Grinder (Discharge style hardcore with some sludgeyness thrown in)

[Cuddleworthy]

avoid fleet foxes at all costs. grizzly bear is decent

[the andyspecial]

dillenger escape plan - ire works (post hardcore w/free jazz guitars and drums)

Thanks - I already listen to mmotm. Definitely will check out the first ones. Racebannon's acid and blood was the last album i listened to in this genre. Killie + Envy are the only decent screamo bands still active.

I really like the nick cave album, and the taas one as well. Downloaded the rest in a batch and will listen to them later today.

DEP isn't my style because they have too much metal influence for me.

Alright awesome hope you like them. I really do think you might like the Catalyst though. They have a kind of noisy thing going on that I think you'd enjoy... they really aren't run of the mill hardcore.

[kbi the crowing]

Portugal the man has had a couple of solid releases

this

and The Sound of Animals Fighting

[Cuddleworthy]

haha

[summer skin]

The new Agorphobic Nosebleed is amazing if you like Thrash mixed with Grindcore.

I actually really liked that album the few times I listened to it, but forgot about it haha. New Graf Orlock was the best thing they've put out too in my opinion... good year in grindcore.

Already listen to young widows and pygmylush.

[SmokieB.High]

Appleseed cast has also put out some good stuff as of recent

[shit stroll]

do you listen to lords and/or coliseum?

[Audio Addiction]

Defeater - Travels one of the best hardcore bands I've ever come across. Travels is a concept album with an amazing storyline. I read the lyrics to it like a book sometimes

[Nevuk]

Most of the recs in this thread have been really good. Caspian I liked, but only as background music for playing starcraft, which it was great for.
Times new vikings was good, on japandroids right now.

My friend was telling me about lords one day but i could never find any of their material so I kind of ignored them after that. Same with coliseum.

[Cuddleworthy]

my recs ftw

[Durge]

i think you shouldn't worry about what other people think you should listen to and develop your own opinion

damn, no northbrook until next year. hope you enjoy generic indie-rock by then!

That's pretty much what I'm doing. There's far too much music released on smaller labels to be easily listened to, thus this. In addition, I know the music tastes of something like 1/4 of the music forum regulars and if they coincide with mine. If I don't like something, I don't like something - I didn't like the enablers at all.

[oddwithoutend]

Because I like you, and because you like Why?:

Mount Eerie - Wind's Poem (not even out yet, but so good I recommend finding a link, and because Phil Elverum has been God since 2001)
Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle
The National - Boxer
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavillion; Strawberry Jam
Battles - Mirrored
Noah and the Whale - Peaceful, the World Lays Me Down
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Okkervil River - The Stage Names
Dinosaur Jr. - Farm
The Antlers - Hospice
Fuck Buttons - Street Horrrsing

[bradnewman]

bowerbirds
phosphorescent
liars

Fair enough, did you like my other reccs at all or just not a fan of any of it?

[Colin1755]

glassJAw, check them out if you love good hard music.

mht's jams o' fun list includes (but not limited to)

http://www.myspace.com/feedtx
-download their free EP, the song Saving Grace on their myspace is the most headbangable/jump around your bedroom in your underwear jam in the last two years. RIYL: Alice In Chains, Only Living Witness, Quicksand, the 90s. Ex members of awesome bands.

http://www.myspace.com/robotsandempire
-heavy guitars with some of the best pipes in music today. dude can falsetto with the best of them. vocal to guitar harmonies are nice on a summer time drive, picking up on the creative breakdowns that aren't just open, open, double bass is also something cool in music today. RIYL: Cave In (if they were good), Into Another, Failure, the 90s (again)

http://www.myspace.com/sixfeetunderrecords2
-find the band on that playlist called Gypsy. Best band coming out of PA right now, bringing back that 90s emo rock bullshit that everyone dick rides on here. The song is awesome, the band is awesome. find their 7'' and listen to the whole thing. Gotta love the 90s. Has members of tons of hyped PA bands, makes sense. But 90s revival rules.

http://www.myspace.com/endofayear
I am not sure if you have ever listened to these guys because they have a ton of releases under their belt but, if you havent, and you love post hardcore and the 90s (see the theme yet) you should. Now a lot of people write them off because of the vocal style, and I say, if you are true fan of post hardcore style music then most of the bands have horrendous vocal styles anyway, because, that is the fucking point. I can only listen to this band under heavy drug/alcohol binges, but when I do and I'm not thinking straight. Don't let them being on Deathwish or them having a split release with a crappy band like Shook Ones fool you. It took me awhile to get into these guys, because I used to hate them, I actually can't really listen to them sober. but there is much worse out there. (RIYL: bad vocals, the 90s)

if Black Flag and Misfits had a baby, and it came out of some scene chicks vagina with a 6 pack of PBR and a Suicidal Tendices hat, ready to fucking party, this would be sound during the labor and in the hospital.

this is good shit. where can I get the demo though? I like Human Engine and want more

[mht]

demo is a cassette and it's hard to find, I think in total they only ever recorded 6 songs (4 song clean produced EP) and the 2 (DIY/RAW) songs of the cassete for when they played SXSW. which was in the bathroom you see here:


33189959



guitar player headbanging his life away on the left. so heavy for a bathroom show.

The latest project is called MindFlow 365 (http://mindflowblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/mindflow-news-about-new-album.html) in which MindFlow will be releasing 1 song a month from September 2009 to August 2010. The project will be debuting at the ProgPower USA (http://www.progpowerusa.com/) 2009, in Atlanta, GA.
