remphish1 Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I discovered a bunch of new artist to me and I quickly bought all releases by all of them really enjoying the new bands for me some include STRFKR- Right around late 2015 early 2016 got into them. I like almost everything they have released. Even saw them twice live this year. Great, fun band!Beach Fossils- Some of the stuff reminds me of early R.E.M. very solid catalog they haveMac Demarco- GREAT! A little out there. Salad Days is front to back awesome. Rest of the catalog is good too.Washed Out- Nice atmospheric etc..Parquet Courts- Saw them twice this year and their live show is great and Human Performance is probably my favorite release this year.

lost highway Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Closest I get off the top of my head is Cloud Nothings, which aren't terribly new, and I probably got into them a year or two ago..... I guess I'm losing touch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PopTodd Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 EDIT:Oops. I missed the whole "newish" part. So, now that it's "newish" I will say:Family AtlanticaTheir new album, Cosmic Unity, is just what the doctor ordered—a hybrid of various African musical styles, mashed together and sung and performed with pure, unbridled joy. I adore this band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chez Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I discovered Car Seat Headrest this year -- my favorite album of 2016 (in a year of great album releases). I also discovered an old band that I really like -- Stereolab Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Tribulation. A Swedish band that started out as a death metal band but swerved more into a goth/metal phase. the last record had some incredibly strong songs on it, and their live show is fantastic.Ultimate Painting. Not a new band but new to me, as they have three records out now. I've known James Hoare from Veronica Falls, but not Jack Cooper who is also in Mazes. The next best thing to the Velvet Underground. Whores.. (they have period in their name) i'd heard a few songs from them last year and was very impressed by the live show... solid noise rock in the vein of AmRep or Touch and Go.Icelandic black metal bands such as Naðra, Misþyrming and others, including a pretty special ceremonial gathering named Ulfmessa, that i saw at Roadburn.Worshipper - excellent Boston metal band who just were named as such via the Boston Music Awards. I saw them this year and they played an obscure Pink Floyd B side "Julia Dream."Amenra - two gorgeous sets from this Belgian band at Roadburn; powerful and precise.

brownie Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Car Seat Headrest - thanks to this forum! I also really like what I've heard of Nathaniel Rateliff, but haven't really taken the plunge to check him out properly yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tell me what else do I need? Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements!! "Our Trinitone Blast" is amazing. probably my second favorite S-Lab song, with "French Disko" being the top.

PopTodd Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Transient Random-Noise Bursts With Announcements!! That's the one with "Jenny Ondeoline" right? When I saw them at Lounge Ax back in 1996 or 97, that was a total jam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 yep that's the one.i only saw their first and last tours... really no excuse to see more shows. my wife went to the show when they toured w/ Unrest and got the tour split 7". i also really should have gone to see the Sonic Youth show they opened.

Winston Legthigh Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 I enjoyed Car Seat Headrest for a hot second earlier this year. I revisited the album recently. It's good, but ultimately very forgettable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They seem pretty good. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
