[QUOTE=EmoScreamoPunk]Good bands, Spence. I'm not huge on Ludo, but I also don't like the Aquabats that much.

And don't worry, I can't write descriptions either. :p[/QUOTE]

You wrote like 500 band blurbs though haha.

[QUOTE=DepthsOfDreams555]You wrote like 500 band blurbs though haha.[/QUOTE]
Haha, those were a little different. I took the time to look up info and write short biographys. A lot of the time for my recommendations, I have trouble describing how a band sounds.

I just want people to check out my recommendations. More people might if I gave a more accurate desciption, but oh well.

[QUOTE=Fire Whispers]You forgot Melt Banana :([/QUOTE]
They don't have a Purevolume or Myspace. :-/

I just downloaded a Melt Banana CD today. I haven't listened to it yet.

I also just thought of a band I meant to recommend:

[B][URL=http://www.purevolume.com/secretlivesofthefreemasons]Secret Lives Of The Freemasons[/URL][/B] - Cool band out of North Carolina. I just downloaded their CD yesterday and it's really good. I had the chance to see them a couple weeks ago with Across Five Aprils, but I didn't know who they were at the time. Anyway, CHECK THEM OUT.

Haha, I just started listening to Across Five Aprils about a month ago. They're great. I really wish I would have gone to that show now. Oh well, that's the first show I've "missed" in a while.

I've been listening to them for almost 6 months I think. I got them from one of the first posts in this thread.

Ya dude I listen to these guys all the time they are really good.

I don't know if this is the right place but can anyone point me to some bands which have a similar style to sum 41?

Recommendation:

[B][URL=http://www.purevolume.com/wakingashland]Waking Ashland[/URL][/B] - Awesome band out of San Diego, California. I've had the pleasure of seeing them live twice. The first time they were good, but nothing special. I saw them again on Thursday, and it was incredible. They played an acoustic set, and it was really great. I've never seen an entirely acoustic set before, but these guys pulled it off excellently.

I also got to see [B][URL=http://www.purevolume.com/jamisonparker]JamisonParker[/URL][/B]. They were really good, although they only played a couple of songs that I really knew. They still put on a good show, and are a great band on CD.

I have an LP and an EP from each band, so if you are interested, hit me up on AIM (EmoScreamoPunk9).

JamisonParker is soooo good.

[b]Kif's Sunday Recommendations:[/b]

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/gatsbysamericandream]Gatbsy's American Dream[/url][/b] have always been seperated from the standard pop-punk style of today. Yet they have always been appreciated by fans of the music, for their ability to pull out anthemic tracks one after the next. Their April release [i]Volcano[/i] is still getting plays on my media player, and it's no thanks to songs like "A Mind Of Metal And Wheels" and "Shhhhhh! I'm Listening To Reason", both available on their Purevolume. Their unauthodox style of writing (With few chorus', many melodic layers in one song and irregular time signatures and style switching) is surely the reason I love this band. Seriously, listen to "A Mind Of Metal And Wheels" and try and resist that urge to dance along to it's Latin vibe. Check this band out NOW!

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/straylightrun]Straylight Run[/url][/b] have been getting some listens from me after the release of their new EP, [i]Prepare To Be Wrong[/i]. If you get a chance to listen to it, be prepared to be wrong indeed. It almost feels like Straylight went [i]Digital Ash In A Digital Urn[/i] (Bright Eyes) on us. But tracks like "Hands In The Sky (Big Shot)" and "It Never Gets Easier" (Formerly named "Costello", and unreleased bonus track from their album) remind us of why we love this band in the first place. I apologize for the lack of new material on their Purevolume (Or Myspace for that matter). If I was allowed, I'd upload it.

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/ludo]Ludo[/url][/b] are the [size=2]sh[/size]it! Seriously, this is some fantastic "rock opera" material. The melodies are weird and not typical for nowadays sounds, the lyrics are eerie and dark, telling an epic story, and the vocals are great and fit the band well. Their success will only get bigger with the release of their new album, [i]Broken Bride[/i], which boasts ingenius styles and genre-switches. Listen to "Part 1: Broken Bride" and "Save Our City" for a taste of this magnificent band.

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/boysnightout]Boys Night Out[/url][/b] certainly deserve a lot of credit for their latest release, [i]Trainwreck[/i]. It's a tale of The Patient, our protagonist who, after murdering his wife in his sleep, seeks to create the song stuck in his mind created by medication, prescribed in the first place to fill the "holes" and loneliness following the murder. Their blend of awkward timings and fantastic melodies, and of course those weird and beautiful lyrics, have made [i]Trainwreck[/i] easily one of my favourite albums of the year. Listen to "Medicating" and "Composing", and be in for an amazing surprise.

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/panicatthedisco]Panic! At The Disco[/url][/b] will not stop being whored by me until everyone here loves them. Their infectious mix of Fall Out Boy style melodies, tongue-in-cheek yet never cheesy lyrics, and ability to experiment and bring electronic and world music feeling to their songs means they are never a dull moment. Their debut album, [i]A Fever You Can't Sweat Out[/i], is getting massive praise and huge anticipation from fans, and the fact that they are teasing me with their Purevolume isn't funny either! Check out "Camisado" and "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage" for this wonderful band.

[b]Kif's... erm... Monday Recommendations[/b]

Yikes, this is a little late. I'm not going to lie to you guys. Nearly everything I have been listening to all week involves the words "Panic! At The Disco". But never fear, they shall not be mentioned in this weeks recommendations (I've done my whoring).

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/project86]Project 86[/url][/b] are a post-hardcore (God I hate that phrase) band from Orange County, and their blend of aggressive bursts of hardcore music blended with soft breakdowns and sometimes more gentle instruments like pianos has got them noticed on Purevolume. Their new album, [i]...And The Rest Will Follow[/i], is a devilish record. You can listen to it in it's entirety on their Purevolume, but I suggest listening to "The Hand, The Furnace, The Straight Face" and "Necktie Remedy".

[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/horsetheband]HORSE The fu[/url][url=http://www.purevolume.com/horsetheband]cking Band![/URL][/b] Legends of the synth-based hardcore, and dubbed "Nintendo-core" punkers, HORSE The Band release their second effort, [i]The Mechanical Hand[/i], in October. All I can say is WOW! Their writing style has matured somewhat, and although they have sacrificed a little of their harsher sound for more melody, they are still awesome. Listen to "Birdo" and "The Black Hole" on their PV.

[b][url=http://www.myspace.com/kttunstall]KT Tunstall[/url][/b] is a somewhat odd choice for recommendations, but she is a great up-and-coming musician. Some UK MXers might know, she was nominated for the prestegious Mercury Music Prize for her debut album [i]Eye To The Telescope[/i]. Her blend of folk instruments, alternative melodies and memorable lyrics have gotten her name out in the UK. Listen to "Other Side Of The World" and "Black Horse And The Cherry Tree (Live at the Mercury Music Prize)" (I saw her performance, it was amazing) on her Myspace.

Sorry there aren't as many today, afformentioned reasons have been provided

Hmm, I see them more as Nu-Metal, but genres aside, when did they put out a new CD? I have all their releases so far and didn't know there was a new one out.

Not sure when it's out (Or if it is out yet or not), but it was advertised on the frontpage for Purevolume so I checked it out.

Interesting. I'll give it a listen later. They're playing at the same venue mine is a week after we do, that's cool, I hope I can go :-D

Can someone recommend me some bands that sound similar in vocals to underoath. I'm like the screaming and am looking for more bands similar to this.

If we aren't supposed to be asking for recommendations, tell me, then I'll delete this post.

I second that.

ATTN: Form(of)Dark

Here are a couple bands I suggest checking out. They aren't all exactly what you're looking for but they're all pretty good. Purevolume isn't working for me, so I'll just give you the names, and you can look them up.

A Thousand Falling Skies
Across Five Aprils
36 Crazyfists
Break The Silence
Curl Up And Die
Fight Paris
Haste The Day
The Letters Organize
Of Blessings And Burden
Remembering Never
Sinai Beach
Suffocate Faster
With Honor

That should be a good start. Hopefully you'll like at least one or two of those bands.

[b][u][i]Crackerface's Random Recommendations[/i][/u][/b]


[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/numberonegun]Number One Gun:[/url][/b]
Great blend of pop-punk and alternative pop (reads purevolume example) and i think they're pretty acely good. On Tooth & Nail records, worth listening to.


[b][url=http://www.purevolume.com/punchline]Punchline:[/url][/b]
Good band, have a few decent songs, i've definately enjoyed listening to that Fall Out Boy style that so many aquire, but some don't do well, this is good. Signed to Fueled By Ramen, good band.

Punchline is amazing. I've seen them live four times, and I love them. Never heard the other band before, but I'll check them out.

Just thought I'd say that I downloaded an album from Number One Gun, and it is really good. Thanks a lot for recommending them.

I recommend Noise Ratchet. They already broke up, but it's worth picking up their entire discography imo. IM me for albums.
