Bands you just want people to get really into

[Boogus Epirus Aurelius]

I just plugged back into Spacemen 3 again recently.
They're one of those bands you put on in the background for some ambient noise, but end up abandoning what you're doing to focus on the music.

There's not a whole lot there, but that minimalist droney approach really captures what they're about, and they're usually about translating drug experiences into audio form.

Their greatest album, "The perfect prescription" mirrors the highs and lows of a trip. It's unsettling, disorienting, occasionally melodic, and governed largely by an invisible drone, which keeps things low and generally sluggish.

There's no lyrical genius, or catchy melodic lines, but a perpetual consistency that echoes in every track, which all seem to bleed into each other.

Scoop it up fool.

You guys need to listen to The Protomen.

They're a band that's made a rock opera based on Megaman. Sounds silly, but they take several creative liberties to turn it into their own story. And don't just think it's a gimmick, because the music itself is pretty damned good.

They just released a new album last month, and it's great. It starts off with an apocalyptic western theme and halfway through it turns into awesome 80's inspired synth-rock.

SONGS!

The second album is definitely better than the first. The first has a more raw, straight-up rock sound with a bit of 8-bit influence while the second is more polished and overall just better.

Thief I was just thinking of posting The Protomen when I clicked on this thread.

Also another awesome point for posting a video of The Hounds. It's my favorite song from them.

Wily has the best voice of all the characters. They seriously should have given him more lines.

Exactly, it's just faced paced generic rock with no real message and yet I love it.

i love how fast-paced their dorky lyricism is

EVERYBODY IS A BITCH

[burzumfan420]

their newer stuff sounded a bit more matured lyrically and pretty good imo. but they are on indefinte hiatus since they lack duckets.

Everyone here should check out Snowing they are some nu emo band that only has an EP released on their myspace for free  and the sound is like a throwback to 90s emo
