What's some of your favorite bands?

RétroX: Which Fair to Midland albums are you talking about? I loved Fables from a Mayfly and inter.funda.stifle, but hated The Carbon Copy Silver Lining. I haven't listened to their new album. Wondering if it's worth a try.

I like mostly vocal-based music, fast or slow, soft or hard. Singers with unique voices are awesome.

Old Favorites



The Dear Hunter is my favorite band ever, hands-down. There's so much variety to their sound, and Casey Crescenzo is blessed with an absolutely amazing voice.



These guys are great. The vocals took some getting used to for me, but once I got past that I couldn't stop listening to mwY. (BONUS - they're a Christian band who doesn't preach, and the lead singer is autistic)



Yeah, I like Coheed and Cambria. Deal with it. (Their new stuff is pretty bad in comparison to their first 3 albums, though there are some gems on No World for Tomorrow.)



One of the first bands I really got into. Still love them, though my taste has evolved from being obsessed with Mr. Jones and Angels of the Silences to loving pretty much everything on Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings.



What can I say... I love The Decemberists. The only problem is a lot of their more popular songs are bad (I have trouble listening to The Mariner's Revenge Song without getting bored, and don't get me started on Oh Valencia). Personally my favorite song by them is The Tain.

New Favorites



If the name sounds familiar, Mega64 actually did a music video for these guys. Sadly it was for their worst, most "emo"-sounding song and people didn't like it. Personally I love their sound and can't wait for a full album.



I bought The Five Ghosts and thought it was catchy, if a bit mediocre. Then I downloaded Set Yourself on Fire and fell in love with most of the songs on it. I love duets...



I don't care if you hate Homestuck, you have to listen to this album. M.G. Bowman is amazing.


That's it for now. If I make any new discoveries I'll make sure to tell you guys.
