Mae Get Up Kids

[StartingLine182]

Does anyone know any bands that sound like Mae or The Get Up Kids?

I really like the style of these two bands and if you know any others that sound like them, tell me please. Big or small, it doesnt matter. Thanks.

Armor for Sleep, Death Cab for Cutie, Number One Fan

Those are a few that come to mind that you might like... I'll post more.

[derricklc22]

The above bands are good, but Mae makes me think like power pop bands......like........FM Static, Spitalfield ( but they are more pop punk ), The Rocket Summer ( nearly everyone who loves Mae loves them, they go hand in hand ) So defintely check out the Rocket Summer. I've tried to find new bands that sound like Mae too, but no one really measures up.

[StartingLine182]

Thanks. Ive heard good things about The Rocket Summer...ill be sure to give them a listen.

[pjtunes91]

If you end up liking The Rocket Summer, check out The Format.

[derricklc22]

Also, I dont think Armor for Sleep, Death Cab, or Number One Fan sound like Mae and not really the Get up Kids, those 3 bands make me think of Copeland or maybe Jimmy Eat World, all great bands though.

[derricklc22]

The Format, oh yes, one of my favorite bands. Good recommendation. Limbeck is a good band too, if you end up liking the Format

Jimmy Eat World just puts me in a happy, good mood... and those 3 bands do the same haha. But if you like old Get Up Kids, maybe you'd like The Promise Ring. And from The Promise Ring comes a lot of possible bands you'd like.

[derricklc22]

D/l these songs by the Rocket Summer: Tv Family, Cross my heart, What we hate we make, and That's so You ( defintely this one ). Those are my favorites. Sorry to go off on The Rocket Summer so much, I jsut wish he'd get mroe attention.

[pjtunes91]

The Format, oh yes, one of my favorite bands. Good recommendation. Limbeck is a good band too, if you end up liking the Format
I saw Limbeck a couple weeks ago. They put on a good show, but the crowd wasn't really feeling them too well. It was with T.E.N., Spitalfield, and Park (not their type of crowd)... The Progress is good too.

[derricklc22]

Any good songs to d/l that you'd say by The Promise Ring? I've never listened to em

yeah the rocket summer own...
The first 2 songs on their album are both great.. the others are good too, but them first 2...i like alot.

[derricklc22]

Yea, weird lineup, but Limbeck used to be pop punk, but i'd put em in with alt - country now same as the Format, Lucero, bands like that.

[pjtunes91]

Hmmm... I'd say try these...

Sea of Cortez
Everywhere in Denver
A Picture Postcard
Red Paint
(basically anything off of their 30 Degrees Everywhere CD)
E. Texas Ave.

[derricklc22]

Thanks man, I'll check em out. And if anyone likes Alt-Country check out Whiskeytown( ryan adams' old band ) and Lucero. Two great bands and I dont like country like Garth Brooks, Tim Mcgraw, etc.

[pjtunes91]

Anytime... and if anyone likes Ryan Adams, check out Pete Yorn... haha this could go on.

[derricklc22]

Pete Yorn, I heard a song in Hellboy ( so so movie ), and his voice made me think of Johnny Cash, I dont konw if that is a good comparison or not, but I'll check him out. Do you listen to Whiskeytown? I love their albums, so great.

[pjtunes91]

Yorn is wicked good... check out "Strange Condition" and "Black" by him... and no, I don't listen to Whiskeytown, just some Ryan Adams, well I haven't listened to Adams in a while.

[derricklc22]

I'll d/l them tonight. Plese man check out Whiskeytown. If you like Adams ( heartbreaker, Love is Hell, his slower stuff ) then Whiskeytown will blow you away. If I had any files on my computer I'd send em to you.

[pjtunes91]

I'll definitely check them out... I knew it was Adams' old band, just never got around to checking them out, but now I definitely will.

[derricklc22]

Thanks, you have to get in touch with me and tell me if you like them. haha. Do you like Ben Harper by any chance. THe music we're talking about is kind of in his vein.

[pjtunes91]

Ben Harper is the shit, his Fight for Your Mind CD is killer... along with Jack Johnson and Mason Jennings... I used to surf so listening to that type of music while on the beach was so chill.

[derricklc22]

Ben Harper - Live From Mars is one of my favorite cds. Do you mind giving me some Jack Johnson songs? The one w/ Ben Stiller in the video wasnt that good to me, but you seem to know good music. Did you ever hear the Counting Crows album Vh1 Storytellers? It was from the 2 disc Across the Wire album. All Acoustic, another great album.

[pjtunes91]

JJ:
Flake (this is the one that got me into him, but I think it's his most upbeat)
Bubble Toes
F-Stop Blues
Posters
Mudfootball
The News
(basically his whole Brushfire Fairytales CD is kickass)

Nah, I never got to hear that Counting Crows one... but August and Everything After is one hell of an album.

[derricklc22]

yes it is, that cd has so many of their great songs acoustic. D/l.....rain king, Round Here, from that cd if you can. It'll show you how good it is. You are like the 1st person that likes this type of music I've talked to on here. Nice to meet you.

[derricklc22]

The songs are from Across the Wire Disc 1( Vh1 Storytellers ) sorry i was vauge.

[pjtunes91]

I'll definitely download them... nice to meet you too man, I'm Lance by the way.

[derricklc22]

Derrick, you mind if I add you to aim? I got homework to do right now, but we could defintely talk later. Is that cool?

[pjtunes91]
