You don't think going straight from radio music to MWY might be a little whiplash-inducing?

Bayside, Brand New, and i just recently got into Band of Horses

Maybe, but it has to happen at some point. The sooner someone listens to them the better imo.

[love_american_style]

stuff like Bayside, Brand New, and i just recently got into Band Of Horses

okay....check out Far. they've been a big influence on most bands nowadays.

[Brand-new-123]

ha sorry, thanks though ...checking out Blinside right now
Yeah no prob. Most of the bands I gave you are pretty different from each other so if you don't like Blindside, you may like the others.

[cshadows2887]

I think with some bands that are a little more difficult, you might need a little bit of context before you can necessarily get into them. And if you listen before you have that context, you're likely to write them off. Which would be a shame.

Will do, thanks

Wolf Parade
The National
Built to Spill

The Antlers
We Were Promised Jetpacks
Sufjan Stevens

[Hypocrite!]

If you like Brand New, it's worth checking out Manchester Orchestra or their old rivals Taking Back Sunday.

Also some more accesible bands to check out: Jack's Mannequin, Jimmy Eat World, The Dangerous Summer

mewithoutYou was one of the first bands that I listened to outside of the mainstream so it wasn't that big of a problem for me at all. They were so different than anything else I listened to and that was attractive at the time. This guy already listens to Brand New so maybe mwY won't be too hard for him.

Fair enough. Always worth a shot.

I love that album (see avatar) but Silence is by far my favorite release by them.

Yeah a friend of mine plays some Manchester Orchestra from time to time and they sound pretty good.

Haha i didn't notice. i'll make sure and give Silence a listen.

Do you know if This is War by 30 Seconds to Mars is worth checking out?
i've heard bad things about it.

[quicksilv001]

too bad blindside is terrible. /rant

[Brand-new-123]

From a quick perusal of the bands you listed as your favorites, we seem to enjoy a lot of the same music. I say we agree to disagree on Blindside.

It's worth it. I love that album.. There's a few songs on there I don't like, but all in all it's a great album and well worth checking out.

loved them all except for Grattitude. couldn't get into that.

[cshadows2887]

Oh man. That's my favorite record he ever did. But I'm a fan of big production. Interestingly, Far is my least favorite era of his, but Jonah has never made bad music. Man's a genius.

Though, Far's cover of "Pony" is fucking magical.

Far is probably my favorite band of all time. I didn't think Gratitude wrote a song that really caught my attention. I loved New End Original (which is an anogram of onelinedrawing) as well as his solo work.

Ironically...I didn't care much for the Pony cover.

[kbi the crowing]

Looks like i have plenty to do today haha

definitely check out We Were Promised Jetpacks, great band

[A7XXX]

Here ya go:

As Cities Burn


Have to agree with that although it's quite pointless for anyone to get into them now. There's no chance of seeing them live anyway

Yeah, but that in no way changes the quality of their music at all. Come Now Sleep had a huge impact on my life.

Interpol
Porcupine Tree
Tool
Them Crooked Vultures
Portugal. The Man
The Mars Volta
The Get Up Kids
The Strokes

Listen to Jeff Buckley, he will change your life

Oh whoa nothing like life changing music, i'll be sure and to check him out

[mattattack]

check out cutting canyons.... very laid back

[friskycurtain]

If you like Blindside I would suggest The Used. Also, you may like Silverstein, Senses Fail, and Hawthorne Heights.

[louie772]

those are awful suggestions for a person just getting off of mainstream music. not one of those is an accessible band.

He already listens to Brand New and some other bands, and he enjoyed Blindside. Try reading the thread before you attack my suggestions, slugger.
