Anyone like to recommend me a band? I'm into a fair bit of stuff - Thrice, Jimmy Eat World, Funeral For a Friend, Alkaline Trio - I need some new bands that aren't so mainstream, people!
That's kind of like the "emo" which is really indie. I'm guessing you've only heard "The Artist and The Ambulance" by Thrice so I suggest you check out "The Illusion of Safety". A band like Alkaline Trio lyrical wise is Glassjaw, while they are alot harder and scream more they do tend to write about lots of drinking and violence. For JEW I'd check out some of the mid 90's indie rock like Sunny Day Real Estate, Mineral they aren't that similar, but people that like JEW usually like those bands. Also make sure you get Clarity by Jimmy Eat World it's a great album.
