Good acoustic only bands

[Midnite8]

What good acoustic bands do you guys recommend for me? I currently only listen to The Spill Canvas, and Secondhand serenade. I like those kinds of style of acoustic.

[mr_jackalope]

DMD's pretty correct. Also listen to the Mountain Goats.

[Kayetan]

The Great Lake Swimmers are excellent.

Plus...
Vashti Bunyan
Jackson C. Frank

[Midnite8]

Hm... i tried out Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, and Red House Painters but not really my taste.... any others? Also, I don't like folk....

[Electronic Wolf]

The Spill Canvas is pretty bad.

IN ONE FELL SWOOP IT BECAME CLEAR TO ME
THAT I DESPISE YOU ENTIRELY

[Otherside]

I want acoustic but I dont like elliott smith

leave forever

[Kayetan]

Also, I don't like folk....uhhhh... Just because you tell us a crap band in your first post doesn't mean we'll always be able to comply with that. This is alt/ind, ok? We try, but we're not magic.

I dont know that many "all" acoustic bands. But I Matt Costa is pretty good. Iron & Wine, obviously, and I also like this band Hayden recently.

Oh and Steven Lynch

[I Was A Kaleidoscope]

My girlfriend dragged me to the Spill Canvas and I made her leave after two songs. They aren't even an acoustic band so idk what the threadstarter is talking about.

they sure do suck though.

i remember hearing bits of their album and it all sounded the same to me.
and it wasn't a good same.

[Scuba_Steve]

Iron & Wine, obviously,


OMG THATS TOO FOLK FOR HIM.


TS, you do know that acoustic =/= crap right?

Just found out about these guys yesterday...Halifax Pier.

I think the bassist/pedal steel player from Red Sparowes is in HP, but the two bands sound nothing alike.

They are so good.

And Rocky Votolato is incredible, too. He's a bit folky but oh well.

[Kayetan]
