Hey guys. So I've been really busy recently and I don't have the time to find new music anymore so I thought i'd ask you lot to recommend me some new stuff to check out. It doesn't matter how old or new the bands are, just give me a few names which I might not have heard of so that I can check them out.

Just to give you an idea of what I like, here's a list of some of my favourite bands:

Pearl Jam
QOTSA
A Perfect Circle
Alice in Chains
Kyuss
Soundgarden
The Libertines
Bloc Party
Editors
Hope of the states
Manic Street Preachers
The Music
RHCP
Smashing Pumpkins
Radiohead


Cheers!

    Dovetail Joint
    001

    They broke up years ago and are now Ivory Wire, but I prefer old Dovetail.

    Powderfinger

    I think they are Australia's Pearl Jam.

    I haven't heard Dovetail Joint for almost 10 years. I had no idea they still made new music, even though they have a new name I guess. I'll have to check them out.

    The Boxer Rebellion.

    If you like Editors, you'll love them. Very similar but a lot better in my opinion.

    They supported Editors on their recent European tour, and are doing some UK dates of their own over the coming months.

    Check them out.

    By the way, great band. Shame they had to split after just two records.

    Gutter Twins, check out their new song, it's pretty damn good: http://www.myspace.com/theguttertwins

    It features Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees/QOTSA) and Greg Dulli (Afghan Whigs/Twilight Singers).

    Nice to know they made an impression on the tour. Glad you enjoyed them.

    My best mate plays drums with them and they are excellent, they deserve to be a lot bigger than they are.

    Hopefully 2008 will be their year.

    Amen to that!

    Also, try 'Deadboy and the Elephantmen', 'Agents of Oblivion' or Dax Rigg's solo stuff.... great voice and fantastic song writer. Originally in New Orleans band 'Acidbath' but they split. Acidbath are fan-fucking-tastic but heavy as hell at times.

    Also try, 'Electric Wizard' and 'Witchcraft' (Black Sabbath influenced, recorded on original equipment, no digital used.... proves for atmospherics to die for!!), 'Down' and 'Corrosion of Conformity' (New Orleans gods!).....
    Might be a little heavy for you but give them chance, COC especially, have a great back catalogue of varying tempos and song themes.

    Oh oh oh!!! try 'Paw', 'Live', 'The Audreys', 'Saybia', 'Life of Agony', 'Peeping Tom' and 'Southern Isolation' too!

    *looks through PC's music files*

    'Wolfmother'..... 'Zakk Wylde' (solo stuff, EARLY Black Label Society albums - nothing after Hangover Music Vol. 6 (even that's tenuous...) and Pride and Glory)... 'Jefferson Airplane'....

    I could do this all day :D
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Listen to Mark Lannegan's first solo album, "The Winding Sheet". It's fucking amazing. Has a couple cool cameos from Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic.

    I am out of the loop, (nice way to say don't have a clue)...because I only know #'s

    1,4,6,14 and 15.

    The only other music I know is from muy sons. One is 15 and likes what he calls "screamo" (sounds like old school metal to me) and then my newly turned back 17 year old who is into Fifty Cent and TheGame and although he's a white guy, and not new, Emiman who I think is a great writer.......

    Don't know if you'd class it as 'new', but if you haven't heard it check out Icky Thump by The White Sripes. I cannot put into words how incredible this album is :) You can thank me by buying me a solid gold house, I've always wanted one of those :rolleyes:

    As long as by Life of Agony you mean the older stuff :) River Runs Red is ace.

    Check out Neurosis if you haven't already. They seem right down your alley, based on your favourites. They have an extensive catalog and are one of the most underrated yet influential bands of our time. I'm a fan of a lot of the bands you listed, but Neurosis blows them all away.

    COG. Great Australian band, like Tool crossed with soundgarden abit.
