Reccs?

[Rowoverdramatic]

I'm looking for some music reccs. My computer crashed and I've lost most of my itunes, and I've also been enjoying a lot of different music thanks to Spotify, so I thought this was a good time to get reccs.

The main genre I listen to is is power-pop. I like bands like All Time Low, We The Kings etc. Not ashamed of it either. So I'd appreciate some reccs for lesser known bands that play that sort of thing. But I enjoy other things too. Lately I've been enjoying Fun., Kevin Devine, Frank Turner, A Love Like Pi and a few others. I'm really willing to give anything a chance. I'm not paticulary fond of any type of "hard" rock but I'll still give it a listen.

So, thanks in advance for any reccs you give me! When you recc a band I'd appreciate if you gave me maybe your fave track from them or a couple of the best in your opinion as a starting point for me to listen to, but you don't have too.

Thanks! =D

Give Ted Leo a shot if you haven't listened to him. Good power pop and it got me into a lot of good music when I was your age.

I cannot reccomend the new Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) album enough. What It Takes to Move Forward is easily my favorite release this year. Check out the songs I Was a Snail and You Were a Pace I Could Not Match, and a Idea is a Greater monument Than a Cathedral

This album is amazing.

[ruffian]

you basically rec'd your itunes

[HometownHero]

Not even close. But I had made that list for somebody earlier so i just copied and pasted it there and figured it would work since it had a large variety

[fournyay]

i like the new robert francis album, if you're into ryan adams or m. ward this is definitely for you. his song "junebug" is the single of the week on itunes so you can download it for free for a little taste- http://bit.ly/2VCt9B

[Rowoverdramatic]

Thanks for the reccs guys! And wow, kidchino08, thanks. I've heard a lot of that stuff but there's plenty I havn't. I'll be busy for a while. xD

I know I need to branch out, hence why I posted here. Buttt, at the same time I'm the sort of person who knows what I like haha. I figure if I just give things a try my tastes will eventually grow a little more outside of pop-punk bands. xD I think the reason I like pop-punk/power-pop so much is that it's easy to listen to and so catchy. And well, I'm a lazy listener. I need to work on that!
