Here's just a short blog about some bands that I have found in 2011 that I really enjoy listening to. I got this idea from Tenebris In Lux
So without any more of an introduction here are a few bands that I have found and enjoyed this year. Oh and there won't be anything from previous blogs on here.
1. The Creepshow (A Horror Punk, Psychobilly band that I really recently discovered a few days ago and they are also one of the rare bands that I love almost every song they've made). The song that is being linked is their cover of The Misfit's 'Halloween'.
2. Siouxsie & the Banshees (A punk rock, gothic rock band that I never thought I would like. I listened to one of their songs about a year ago and didn't like it but then ;Kiss Them for Me' came on when I was listening to pandora and I ended up liking this band. Oh and as a sidenote I was listening to their song 'Spellbound' a couple days ago when I was really tired and I ended up tripping out somehow lol). The song I linked is their song 'Arabian Knights'. This is a little off topic but doesn't Siouxsie look beautiful in this video?
3. The March Violets (A Gothic Rock band.. This band formed in the 80's but ended up disbanding in 87. Good news though, they reformed in 2010 with all of the original members, and they're putting out new songs too!) The song that is being linked is their song 'Electric Shades' which I believe is only available on their record of the same title, and that is only on vinyl or cassette.
4. Amanda Palmer (An Alternative Rock, Punk Cabaret band that I found out about when I was looking for bands similar to Emile Autumn). The song that is linked is entitled 'Astronaut'.
5. The Velvet Undeground (A rock group formed back in the 60's. I listened to their song Heroin and couldn't help but be amazed, I think this might be one of the first songs that I think is perfect musically). Yes, the song I linked you to was their song 'Heroin'.
6. Ashbury Heights (A synthpop, electric band that broke up in 2010. I found this band to be really good, first song I heard by them was Spiders which I got introduced to from the blog The Ultimate Goth Guide . I looked on amazon.com and for some reason their "Three Cheers For The Newly Deads" is well over $100!!!! Luckily there is a website that caters to people who love this type of music and sells CD's like this for reasonable prices, stormingthebase.com There's also discogs.com too if you don't mind getting used CD's ). The song I am linking is called 'Christ'.
7. Blitzkid (A Horror Punk band. One of my friends recommended this band to me and I ended up really liking them. They also do a song calls 'As the rope Bridge Sways' that has to be one of the best slow punk songs I have ever heard). The song that is linked is called 'Let's Go to the Cemetery'.
There are many more bands that I could include on this list, however, I do not want to bombard you guys with links so those bands will have to wait for a part 2 or 3.
Mmmmm. Velvet Underground.
ReplyDeleteI like the new March Violet's single .. I think it's called "Just a Punk Thing" or something like that. I know Deathrock Tampa had been playing it a lot and I liked it.
Yes, Siouxsie does look quite gorgeous in that video ^^ I've been craving their song "Hong Kong Garden" for a little bit. My first Siouxsie and the Banshees song had to be Night Shift, off the of amazing Juju album.
@Tenebris In Lux: Yeah, I think it's pretty good too. "Hong Kong Garden" Is pretty good and so is "Night Shift" but I think my favorite Siouxsie and the Banshees song is El Dia De Los Muertos.
