Good rock/acoustic bands

[Midnite8]

Can anyone recommend me some good rock/acoustic bands? I don't know why you guy's say that The Spill Canvas is bad but I like them.... but anyway... shoot.

[bottlerocket]

Remember Maine
Feeling Left Out
American Football

[Midnite8]

Great! I like remember maine and feeling left out, that's the style I have been looking for. Any more else anyone?

[Permanent Solution]

Who says The Spill Canvas is bad?

I'll slap a bitch.

[Midnite8]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. The Spill Canvas is actually really good to me, my favorite songs are Sunsets and Car crashes and Black Dresses. I love their music, the vocals are alright. Listen to those both songs and ignore the vocals.

[MattSharpIsCool]

The Spill Canvas is good music.

I dont listen to any purely acoustic bands, so I cant really help you. I like acoustic music, I just dont know if I could stand it for a whole CD.

Well....Johnny Cash is acoustic, but I doubt thats what you're looking for.

*raises hand*

Not really. I don't think they're bad. I just don't listen to them.

The Tide is a pretty cool song, though, I will admit.

[Concubine]

old DC

[lunchforthesky]

Death Cab For Cutie
The New Amsterdams
Dashboard Confessional
American Football
Owen
Brand New (Fight Off Your Demons Demos)
Starting Line (Make Yourself At Home EP)
The Scene Aesthetic

[Concubine]

The Promise Ring

[Jessizzle]

Owen.

lynchme got me into them, good stuff.

[musicislove05]

and when they say Dashboard Confessional, they mean the old stuff.. not the past 2 cds he came out with.... the first 2 releases are the acoustic ones.

[lunchforthesky]

He will of heard of them anyway if he's heard of the Spill Canvas

[bottlerocket]

Someone wanna hook me up with some Owen?

[Jessizzle]

[punkerdan]

*raises hand*

Not really. I don't think they're bad. I just don't listen to them.

The Tide is a pretty cool song, though, I will admit.

I haven´t heard much of them either, but the tide is dope.

[Midnite8]

yeah, i have heard all 3 Cd's of dashboard, i have listened to the scene aesthetic too, but good ones guys

[lunchforthesky]

Owen are the best band recommended that you dont already like but their probably not mainstream enough if thats your tastes, but give them a try all the same.

[Midnite8]

Anyone of these good for actual acoustic playing? I'm currently searching for some acoustic songs to learn.

[B]

All acoustic songs are fun :)

[lunchforthesky]

Dashboard songs are easy but fun to play. it depends how good you are.

[Dinosawesome]

If you can play these songs acoustically you can hook any chick you want:

I Want To Save You - Something Corporate
No Sensitivity - Jimmy Eat World
Your Call - Secondhand Serenade
The No Seatbelt Song - Brand New

Learn them and have fun being sexed.

[lunchforthesky]

I an play the brand new one and the something corporate one.

You could probably add any dashboard song previous to the new album to that list.

[bottlerocket]

Hands Down should be on that list.

Also, so should Play Crack the Sky because that works...trust me. :p

[Henrik]

Try to give a listen to some folk artists!
A lot of folk is awesome.

[Wow]

Dear and the Headlights.


Some songs are meh and they sound to Equal Vision so there's a good chance they may suck in the near future, but other than that, solid band. Amazing vocalist.

[bottlerocket]

I totally agree.

MOTHER MAKE ME GOLD AGAIN

[Cadaveric]

new Dustin Kensrue solo album ftw

[Midnite8]

Wow, thx Ill work on all those songs. Well, I have been playing for six years and I think I am intermediate or something but anyway, would these songs you have provided be available at like Ultimate Guitar or any other tab site?

[Dinosawesome]

Hands Down should be on that list.

Also, so should Play Crack the Sky because that works...trust me. :p
True, and that is super easy fun to play.

[BridgeToSolace]

new Dustin Kensrue solo album ftw

That album is really awful.

I like Thrice a bunch, but Dustin shouldn't do solo. His voice is just so whiny on that album.

[musicislove05]

Yeah Owen is not mainstream, but they're pretty good.

[PolishRoyale]

Wow, thx Ill work on all those songs. Well, I have been playing for six years and I think I am intermediate or something but anyway, would these songs you have provided be available at like Ultimate Guitar or any other tab site?

Yeah, you can find all of those easily

[bottlerocket]

Owen is amazing.

[RetiredAt21]

Who says The Spill Canvas is bad?

I'll slap a bitch.

:wave:

[RetiredAt21]

Owen is amazing.

Owen f'ucking rules. I love the song "In The Morning Before Work." Such a great song.

[bottlerocket]

Hey, Justin: Whatever it is you think you are, you aren't.

[RetiredAt21]

Hey, Justin: Whatever it is you think you are, you aren't.

Uhh, I don't think I get what you're saying...

[Midnite8]

Man none of any tab sites have good or almost accurate tabs for the song Sunsets and Carcrashes, or Black Dress from The Spill Canvas

[bottlerocket]

Uhh, I don't think I get what you're saying...

Bad News by Owen?

Come on. :(

[BridgeToSolace]

Kevin Divine is tons of fun. A Bright Eyes rip, I think, but I don't like BE so I don't know.

http://www.myspace.com/kevindevine

I just realized how much my guitarist he looks 0.o

[lunchforthesky]

Owen is probably my favourite thing the Kinsella brothers have done.

[RetiredAt21]

Bad News by Owen?

Come on. :(

I'm still confused.

[bottlerocket]

It's a song by Owen. It's called Bad News and those are the lyrics.

cr00sh?

[RetiredAt21]

Not everything I listen to is cr00sh and/or br00tal. I have a soft side too, guys.

[bottlerocket]

Dude, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Does anyone?

[Mute Print]

I haven't heard the song, but I get what you're saying.


"Whatever it is you think you are, you aren't. A good friend, unique, well-read, good-looking, or smart. Well, now you know..."

"Bad News" by Owen, from At Home With Owen.

[RetiredAt21]

Dude, you have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

Does anyone?

I'm sorry, dude. I just smoked some bangin' Columbia Fire.

MOTHER MAKE ME GOLD AGAIN


Dude, check their myspace. I always thought "It's Gettin' Easy" was their worst song, but the new version brings serious amounts of ruckus.

[hey, you're not cory!]

Not trying to promote here, but my friend has an acoustic project (www.myspace.com/travissiebertmusic) that I like a lot.

Otherwise, I dunno, people like Jack Johnson? I don't though.

[RetiredAt21]

Jack Johnson sucks.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Jack Johnson sucks.

[hey, you're not cory!]

Ha, wow, I didn't realize he was so hated. I know me and my friends don't like him but I thought we were just being stuck up.

[RetiredAt21]

Nah, Jack Johnson is just gay.

[cbmartinez]

He's really not that bad. His breakdowns are siqqq

[RetiredAt21]

That's true. His breakdowns gave me a new outlook on brutality.
