Brand New: Version 2.0

So guys i made a list a few months ago when i joined the site, and i received 2 things in return: an obscene amount of recommendations, and an obscene amount of doubt regarding my gender. While the latter is rather laughable, the recs were extremely interesting. So, as a result of slogging through most of those recommendations, i present 10 previously unknown bands i have found to be highly stimulating. All recs and propostions are quite welcome, of course ;)
1Between The Buried And Me

Holy crap, this band is stunning. And i thought Protest The Hero was the epitome of amazing metal guitar work! Not so. Easily my new favorite metal band. Selkies and White Walls are straight-up musical orgasms.
2Glassjaw

So basically this beats Thrice at their own game, which i had considered impossible! Illusion of Safety is still my favorite album in the post-hardcore genre, but i think it's just nostalgia. Worship & Tribute is better.

What Is To Burn? More like What It Is To Have Crazy, Dirty, Out-Of-Control S -- er...you get the point.
4Sigur Ros

Beautiful. The emotion of this is really moving. Is it possible to marry an album? Cuz i think i'm in love with ( ).
5The Mars Volta

I LOVE the creativity of these guys. Favorite albums are prolly Frances The Mute and the newest one, but they're all quite excellent
6Mono

Hymn To The Immortal Wind is UNBELIEVABLE. Ashes In The Snow is one of the best album openers ever. Period.
7The Birthday Massacre

Spooky pop. What do ya know: there's actually a band representing this genre, and they sound amazing! You learn something new every day.
8The National

The song Start A War is fantastical, as is that whole album. One of my very favorite indie albums now.
9Godspeed You! Black Emperor

This band has the most stupid, nonsensical album titles ever, but then make up for it with fabulous music. I'm really getting into post-rock now, and i think these guys are the best i've found. Love the Slow Riot album.
10Brand New

Of course. ;)
