What Bands/People do you listen to today?

[Cricko]

I tend to go for a lot of old stuff still.....The Script I like amongst the newer bands of the last few years. Who are your latest trends?

It's all about the 80's

 

[Crawliano]

Father John Misty. Nuff said.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Obviously the old stuff, however, have been keeping an ear open for my friend's boy's band, Nothing But Thieves...her son is lead singer and they are all local boys. Current single "Itch" is being heavily promoted by both Radio 1 and MTV.

 

[MK Shrimper]

The Decemberists.

I am massive Colin Blunstone fan I have to say that Colin and Zombie band mate Rod Argent are still packing the fans in where ever they play , and when you consider they have been playing since the 60s they must be pretty damn good .

The Decemberists.

Surely you can only listen to them one month a year though? :winking:

 

[Rob Noxious]

My favourite newish band is The Small Town Doggers. They've been going since 2011 and should have their second album out this year. I'm delighted that my particular live favourite, 'Midsummer Spit Roast', is due to be on it.

As for singer-songwriters, Westcliff-based Phil Burdett is someone who I really like.

Have I missed something? :unsure:

Yes, it's DWB birthday?

 

[Ricey]

Def Leppard are always my favourite to listen too, the hysteria album is possibly the greatest album ever written.

I like a lot of classic rock and some new music depends if it's catchy or not. I am really liking Nickelback's latest album and going back through their back catalogue they had some really good sounds.

Oh well, Happy Birthday DWB. I do miss the old Happy Birthday threads that used to get started on here :sad:

Good to meet him at the Cricketers after the Luton game.:thumbsup:

 

[GrumpyBlue]

Still listen to my old faves - but am interested in the following folkies though none could be described as young:-

Leveret
Kings of the South Seas
Miranda Sykes and Rex Preston

 

[Pubey]

Cool ones that you haven't heard of.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Cool ones that you haven't heard of.

And when other people get into them, they're ****? :smile:

Thought it was Napster who knew something the rest of us didn't? :raspberry:

I stopped buying or getting into anything new quite a few years ago and just carried on listening to the old favourites, U2, Ocean Colour Scene being the most listened to.

I did however buy some new headphones last year for commuting and that got me hunting for new music to listen to and they led me to discover Jason Isbell an Amanda Shires, two 'Americana' artists who I started listening to and have seen a few times last year when they were over here in the UK . Listen to them more than anything else these days.
