    Angel City

    Great band! They are called "the angels" in most countries. They called themselves Angel City in the U.S. So that they wouldn get confused with another band called Angel.

    Endochine. An Austin band that broke up a few years ago. Harmonious guitar power-pop, can go hard and soft, lots of hooks and great melodies. Two singer/guitarists traded off lead vocals while the other harmonized. They had all the goods to get popular, never understood why they didn’t, probably just needed a bit more time together. I saw them many times when they came up to Dallas and a few times out in LA. I chatted with one of them before one of the LA shows and remembered noticing that he seemed really down. I read later about their breakup and one of them said that it hit them while they were driving to a show in LA that they were in the wrong band. I think that was the day I must have met them, they were not into it that night. Otherwise every time I saw them they were great. Influenced by Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, and sounded better than Coldplay before Coldplay was Coldplay.

    One of the singers, Casey Macpherson, broke it up and founded the band Alpha Rev, which is still going.

    Low vs. Diamond.

    Loves their debut album...haven't heard much from them lately. Not sure if they're working on a 2nd album or not, but I sure hope they are.

    In my school only a few people listen to metal but the ones that do aren't really hardcore or anything. So here is the list a lot of it is grungr 'cos my generation sucks:
    After Forever
    Amaran
    Bush
    Celestial Crown
    Chimaira
    Death
    Dimmu Borgir
    Dolorian (excellent band)
    Einherjer
    Graveworm
    Headstrong (no not that crappy song, the band!)
    I Mother Earth
    Lullacry
    Melvins
    Mudhoney
    Otep
    Pain of Salvation
    Paradise Lost
    Probot
    Screaming Trees
    Shadows Fall
    Silverchair
    Sirenia
    Sonic Youth
    Soilwork
    Tiamat

    Yup that's the list

    Out of those, I absolutely love Pain of Salvation. They are amazing musicians!
    A few suggestions:
    The Gathering (From the Netherlands. This band's singer, until 4 years ago, has the most amazing voice ever)
    Anathema (From England. I don't know how to describe them, but their music is really "emotional", for lack of a better term)
    Riverside (From Poland. Sounds a little like Anathema, but with more progressive elements. Very talented guys!)

    PAW

    They were out of Kansas and their first album, Dragline, came out around the same time as the grunge explosion. The lead singer sounds like an angry Ed Vedder, and although the album is hard rock, there are touches of country influence weaved in.

    If you like rock, you will like Paw.

    Totally. I love watching a band rocking out and visibly enjoying themselves. They have so much energy. ...Do you listen to Simone Felice's solo stuff or his band The Duke and the King? Also great.

    Hell yeah, it's a great time and they just love playing. Honestly, one of my favorite live bands I have ever seen.

    I have listened to him a bit, The Duke and the King I started listening to recently.

    Check out A.A Bondy as well. He is the husband of the Felice brothers sister (I believe) and is not bad himself.
