OVERISE (www.myspace.com/overise) (http://www.myspace.com/overise))

I can't believe they haven't.

Check out the bands I said if you like Overise, I think you'll enjoy them.

farewell from NC Farewell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD7xEyeNQ7Y) is the most deserving band I know of. Indeed someone needs to sign Farewell.

[1.8Nate]

Cassino or The Progress.

[Suprhatch614]

I've actually tried to listen to about half the bands just to check if my pick was going to be worthy, and I'm going to say these guys are better than about 3/4 of the bands listed...they've only been around about 4-5 months and played 2 shows, so to say they 'deserve' to get signed might be a little off, but musically and showmanshipwise, they absolutely own your face....so here you go

www.myspace.com/silentsirensrock


it's good for your health

[aminorthreat55]

just tell them to sign fighting to forget.

http://www.myspace.com/fightingtoforget


they're recording with jesse cannon.
I'll look into it.

They're playing a show with All Time Low that I will be at, so I can definitely check them out.

[jlewis154]

I woul sign:

The Monroe Locale, from FL

www.myspace.com/themonroelocale (http://www.myspace.com/themonroelocale)







or Paulson, and save them from one day Savior.

[screwbizzle]

Honesty Eyes from New Jersey.
They just did a few songs with Chris Badami (The Early November)!

[Beyondclarity]

wow - I can't believe no one said Brightwood...

Maybe they signed and I don't know it, they're certainly better than any band I've heard that was listed.

BRIGHTWOOD - for sure.

[aminorthreat55]

i bet half these shit-hole local bands are fronted by the user who is posting them

this thread could be 50% self-promotion hahaha
They are, that's why I ignore most of the posts.

[Justin Link]

i second that, along with Moraine (http://www.myspace.com/moraine) from NJ

moraine is so terrible. they seem to be a chick band, i don't know any guys who like them. they've been around forever and have gotten nowhere.

i would sign http://www.myspace.com/aftertheburial or new atlantic, but after the burial first.

[harlequingirl87]

In Case You're Curious from CO

[xdrummerxdudex]

new atlantic and letters to falylia

[RockVocalPower]

Farewell really is the correct answer.

[OveriseFan]

They are, that's why I ignore most of the posts.

Seriously. I'd try to give these bands a listen but most of them are just... bad.

Or else it's one of the million Cassino/The Higher posts, which to me are stupid because both bands could(and kind-of-are) be signed.

[CarlRyan]

The Waiting Game (http://myspace.com/thewaitinggameil)

[twolinedrawing]

Honestly, Good luck to anyone who finds a more musically talented band with as much potential as NJ's Shoot.the.Moon. I've seen these guys play a dozen times. In 6 months, they'll be sitting pretty and everyone will know why! I'd sign them in a heartbeat.

[jsteil]

The Stiletto Formal
Bel Air Academy
The Team Hate
Ad Astra Per Aspra

[sweetforever]

I don't know if they're signed or not, but Search The City. They have an Anberlin feel to their music.

purevolume.com/searchthecity

[MrBaileySays]

The Graduate (http://www.myspace.com/thegraduate)and Racing Kites (http://www.myspace.com/racingkites)

i picked two. because they're both equally boneriffic

You Whore!!! I'm picking The Graduate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[aminorthreat55]

Seriously. I'd try to give these bands a listen but most of them are just... bad.

Or else it's one of the million Cassino/The Higher posts, which to me are stupid because both bands could(and kind-of-are) be signed.
Exactly. I basically ignore a band unless they're mentioned by more than 2 or 3 people.

[iamonlyfiction]

1994

[waitingtoderail]

Farewell or Sherwood.

[backtothesound]

Elevation (http://myspace.com/elevation) from Atlanta. Those boys are going to bring in loads of money once someone signs them....

[TENJwab]

Finding Westerly - no question!

[70x7]

The Sibling Project (www.myspace.com/thesiblingproject)
I would sign them even though they are from one of my least favorite cities on Earth. They're like Mates of State except there is some electronics in it, and I assume they don't sing love songs to one another. It's good music though, especially for the summer.

They are on a little label, so maybe this disqualifies them

[FTFRock]

I'll look into it.

They're playing a show with All Time Low that I will be at, so I can definitely check them out.

i'm their merch guy. they actually have more shows with all time low they just only have 2 posted. the have like 4 days in a row plus a couple others.

[BeerNSluts]

Elevation (http://myspace.com/elevation) from Atlanta. Those boys are going to bring in loads of money once someone signs them....

Damn straight. I mentioned them a couple posts earlier. Their EP is going to be absolutely amazing.

TheShowcase (http://www.myspace.com/theshowcase)

i'm not sure if they're signed still. 2/4 of the band is from Genco Records' Kick Over The Traces (RIP), so i'm not sure if Genco has rights. either way, mega talented dudes, and Rocky has one of the best voices i've heard in a long time. they know how to tour. they have experience. they're awesome guys. i choose them.

[Ultragrrrl]

Since i get to play A&R every day, I'm gonna pick a couple of bands i WISHED i signed:

Muse
My Chemical Romance
Nightmare of You

What's funny is that i was actually thinking about writing a post on my blog about what my strategy would be if i was A&R'ing the Muse album. They're going with a very odd first single, and i think that's amazing... but for single two... ooh, what to do is exciting!!!

[(joeyman)]

Exactly. I basically ignore a band unless they're mentioned by more than 2 or 3 people.

Hell yeah. I used to also have one of Hometown when Steve was "fat and ugly".

alright of this stuff is so bland.

i agree with the other guy, how is it that NO ONE has said Envy On The Coast? holy shit, what a band. they will be signed very very soon, undoubtedly.

and also a new band from NJ, Inamere. the drummer and singer hosted Fuse's Spring Broke 06, and are now about to put out their full length THEMSELVES with Joe Gastwirt (The Used, Story Of The Year) mastering the record.

take a listen, the singer is amazing, one of my favorites. these guys are my buddys, and definately work fuckin way hard, and write really really insanely catchy songs.


if i were to sign a band from an indie, hnds down, no question it would be Lorene Drive in a heartbeat. those guys deserve to be HUGE.

Farewell (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xD7xEyeNQ7Y) is the most deserving band I know of. Indeed someone needs to sign Farewell.

exactly... i don't think anyone could come up with a valid reason that farewell shouldn't be signed. i'm expecting it to happen soon.

[blinkredstar]

Go Crash Audio (yes this is the 2nd post about them, but...) because they just recorded a full-length with Ed Rose. Be on the look out for their album "With Wings & Radar"!!! These are my boys, so hell yeah dog.

[thiscalnderyear]

Ok so if you havent heard this band be prepared for the freshest smoothest pop punk band in awhile...

This Calender Year out of Reno, NV...

freakin incredible and AMAZING live

The proposal.


or


The Casual Lean


Awesome as hell dude. The Proposal won my site's Battle of the Bands last month, and I'm booking a show with them headlining here on July 4th. I'm so excited. These guys are gonna go places.

[sensesfail18782]

I vote for SHINING THROUGH because I love them and they are so incredible. I also would sign the Proposal, New Atlantic, and Too Late the Hero as well if I could. :-D

ELEVATION - www.myspace.com/elevation (http://www.myspace.com/elevation)

This band is absolutely tits. By the looks of their pics it looks like something Tooth & Nail would do.

But this band is more major label than anything. They could easily blow up on the radio.

Wow I just checked this band out and you are right. They sound GREAT. They can go far on the singer's voice and just the overall vibe of the music and everything. I get what you mean by the pictures being Tooth and Nail-ish, but you're right about this band having major label written all over it.

They should sign an EP/1 CD deal with The Militia Group just to get their name in the "indie" world then sign to somebody like Warner Brothers. They could blow up so big so fast it's not even funny. And all this enthusiasm after hearing ONE SONG. Shit.

[palisadevoice]

The Ataris. Their new album is going to blow away anything they've ever done before.

[Ultragrrrl]

anyone wanna recommend something that isn't super myspace-y? so far, everything sounds so samey. any of these bands influenced by like, say, echo and the bunnymen, or joy division, or adam and the ants, or some obscure scottish band from the 80s? maybe even the mid-90s college rock like breeders and pixies?

c'mon kids, start a band or throw a brick... just give me something different from the scene!

Originality is harder and harder to come by these days. Quite frankly, I'm tired of being recommended to listen to the same type of "post-rock" crap. The good stuff - at least good in the sense of what it sounds like you are looking for, as am I - is out there though, but (biting my tongue here) you're more likely to find it on Pitchfork than AP. Unfortuneately, "punk", like sex, sells - it has a built in audience: angsty teenagers and MySpace whores.

[piaffeprncess98]

I would say The Higher, but they've been signed. Other than them, maybe Novice, I don't think they're signed anymore.

ouch...zinger!

on another note, this reminded me greatly of the argument between jack black and john cusack in high fidelity...'who's your influences? They're mostly german! Hasslehoff?' - not verbatim, I'm sorry

Edit: Anyone of hear of The Dirty Things...they sound like the strokes, if the members of the strokes had a collective penis between the 4 of them
