My iPod normally travels with me everywhere I go, but recently I haven't discovered any good bands worth listening to on my travels.

Here's a very short list of bands that I listen to on occasion (not very often now since I've overplayed a majority of them):

Courage Call
Mercy Mercedes
The Mile After
My Favorite Highway
Holiday Parade
Jack's Mannequin
New Empire

Suggestions?

Haha, jealous? (Is it Pat?)

Whose verdict judges what bands are "better" than others? Yours? I'm assuming. 'Cause if that's the case, you obviously haven't learned one of the essential points in the music world which is the fact that music is a matter of opinion. So I guess if you think that your music choices are "better" than others' then you're quite an egomaniac.

So you like the softer side, well a bands kind of similar to your tastes which im playing at the moment are..
La Rocca
Needtobreathe
also if you like Jack's Mannequin, why not check out Something Corporate, his earlier band.

Haha, like I mentioned before, it was just a short list, I was running out of time to type it up so I had to limit it to the few bands that were on my mind at the time. But yes, you're right. I'm not big into the louder aspect of this genre of music that we're concentrating on in this thread.

[guitarpickheart]

If you like softer music, Mae is good. Singularity was more rock but still pretty soft.
Also try Keane, I don't personally like them very much but you might.
Between The Trees, I know a lot of people dislike them though.
Sanctus Real is a good- albeit Christian- powerpop/rock band.

[versus_god]

The Ergs!

[Anthony Lutz]

Listen to Holy Fuck - you can't go wrong with them! (Seriously)

I've been a fan of both Mae and Between the Trees for quite some time now. However, I've heard of Keane and Sanctus Real before this thread but never really took the effort to check 'em out. To say the least, I'm glad you recommended them!

[11:11]

listen to the song "It's Beautiful" by Eleventyseven. I think it'll be right up your alley.

I'm glad you like them :-) I got a lot of listening time out of Sanctus Real.

There is a lot of douche-eness on this site. But stay back read awhile and make smart posts and you can really learn a lot and find out about some amazing musicians.

I'm probably just considered a noob still because my music tastes aren't up to par.

And your post count is low.

[OdeToTheSun]

950 is low? I've done like 100+ in the last few days.

[hockeyguitar99]

Those guys are epic. I would say they probably aren't for everyone though.

Quality > Quantity

For sure it was worth a shot, I was just saying that they don't really fit the mainstream criteria.

[Jumpoff]

The Ergs!

This recc should be made to everyone. Seriously.

I would accept this statement as fact, but in his case, I've seen nothing that proves it.

[thespearkid]

950 is low?
Yes.

And isn't there an entire forum specifically for recommendations?

[¡vivalasanti!]

farewell. they were on tour with mercy mercedes a while back, i do believe.

[Genuma]

This recc should be made to everyone. Seriously.
It should. I am almost 100% sure that everyone in the world has to like at least one Ergs! song.

[kearn1tm]

Oooooh, oooh. Have you heard of this band Brand New?

[Genuma]

I heard they have an album about the devil and some character named god. Sounds like it could make for a great screenplay. Get my buddy Jesus in on it and it'll be gold!

I hope it's adapted to a broadway musical. I always said the one thing Brand New could use was jazz hands and spirit fingers.

[Genuma]

I want to throw a multicolored coat into all this. Ideas? Names?

[versus_god]

Is A Real Boy

[Genuma]

So, we have this Jesus character. I want that god to somehow be related to him, let's say father. Then this devil? He's the bad guy. Yeah, devil sounds bad. And it turns out Jesus...Is a real Boy. Add a few hundred pages of filler, toss in a few morals and we've got a solid book.

[versus_god]

I can feel your atmosphere. Yeah, baby, yeah.
