Musically bent; Not a thread about Bards

We've had so much different music mentioned in so many different threads I thought maybe we should start a dedicated thread so folks can actually come back later and find the comment to check it out.

I'd like to start it out with a group out of Baton Rouge named Undun
Their own website is still being worked on and either bandwidth problems or an incompatibility with my pc chops up the music demos pretty bad.
Their Myspace page however works better and has some good demos.

Interestingly, there's another band calling themselves Undun on Myspace who's not as much to my taste but I think Lance might like 'em.

I'll give them a listen.

The most recent band I'm following is One Man's Trash. Here is their music page. I really like Bad Case of the Blues best right now, at this very moment in time, because that is the song playing.

If you like deathmetal you should check out Hatebreak.
I can't listen to deathmetal for very long in one sitting but hey, any group that has a parrot for their lead singer gets extra points.

Wow, hadn't heard that name in a long time. Dead Can Dance were old school 20 years ago when I first listened to them. Didn't know they still existed.

I've been listening to Pop Will Eat Itself again. Specifically most of the Dos Dedos Mis Amigos album. They have an odd collection of music in all. They began as a rock/punk/new wave Brit band that was silly looking. They had a harder edge and made the kickass Dos Dedos album after signing with Reznor's personal record label. They went to other labels but worked with Reznor still and it shows in their better production and music. They had many people come and go through the band that it never had a solid focus which was good and bad. They have complete instrumental pieces with heavy punk synth sound to industrial guitar rock (prior to that they were plain dumb 80s goof band). They seem to always have a social commentary which touches all their albums but going from one to the next is almost like finding a whole different band... which is why I stuck to getting only a small portion of their songs beyond that one album. Good songs: Ich Bin Ein Auslander, Underbelly Town, RSVP, Everything's Cool

Next up is to check out How To Destroy Angels. Reznor got married to a chick who fronted a small band. Her, Reznor and Atticus released a self titled album and they also did some stuff for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie. The music is very heavily Reznor and Atticus both with her on lyrics. She's not bad from what little I've heard but I'm not sure she has much ability or can hide it within the music like Reznor can.

With a name like Mazes and Monsters it's gotta be good, right?

Well, not really but in this case they're not bad. I like the instrumentals best.

Those guys must be D&D gamers. If not, they must surrender their name.

I don't know if I've raved about Blues Traveler recently enough. But John Popper makes me play air harmonica. This is one of Locutus' favorite nursery songs.
