Title: The Rock Music Thread
Post by: StreakInTheSky on July 28, 2005, 10:14:16 AM
EDIT: I decided to just change this to a general Rock music thread. I thought the old thread sorta made the thread unaccessable to people who weren't really familiar with underground Rock Sorta like the J-rock Thread, but for non-japanese bands and stuff... So anything goes!!!


I'd like to make this the official Punk thread. But it doesn't have to be only about punk, you could talk about the many branches it grew into like hardcore, emo, pop punk, ska, etc. Whatever the hell you want. It's all about the freedom. Hell, what is punk anyways besides a label just so people could classify it. None of that shit matters.


Anyways,
I seem to be the only one in this damn forum that likes what people call emo music. I love that shit, it's some of the first music that I actually felt connected to. It also brought me to like punk rock and all the other shit.



I really don't know why I made this thread, just bored as fuck and I didn't see one. I know there are others out here who like this stuff. Well happy postings.

Why are Emo and punk catagorised together in this thread??

You can't compare Blood For Blood with From First To Last. T___T

I made the thread as broad as I can really, while still sticking to some common thing. If I wanted to I could've made a different thread for each different thing I put in the subject heading but I really don't want to make all those threads.

Rock on.  My favorite thing in life is to go into Tokyo and catch my indie punk/ska/emo/Irish-style friends put on a kick-ass show in a small club.  At the punk shows, most everyone just ignores the "buy 1 drink from the bar for 500 yen each" rule and they just go to the conbini and bring in tons of canned alcohol, which they often give me for free. :D   It's a great community, full of unity and fun.  

My one regret is that some of these bands I often see are SO DAMN GOOD, but they'll probably never break out and accomplish anything of note. :cry:

But one of the bands I follow, The Cherry Coke$, is getting a bit of coverage recently.  They actually got a place on the "Rookie A Go Go!" stage at the Fuji Rock Festival (though it starts at 12 a.m.), and they'll be opening up for The Suicide Machines when they come and tour Japan at the beginning of October.

Rock on.

^ That right there is what it's all about, having a good time.

Okay I did some listening and I found a way to compare Blood for Blood with From First to Last. They're both clearly influenced by hardcore. They play heavy music. Both bands have pretty heavy breakdowns that I'd love to mosh to.

Contrastly BFB are an angsty more true HxC band with sing along anthems while FFTL seem to mix their style with pop, emo, hxc, and thrash metal relying more on harmony but are still able to play anthemic songs. The lyrics are really different since BFB talks more about social problems and all that stuff many hxc bands yell about, and FFTL sing more about relationships. The vocals in BFB are also pretty much all yelling in your face stuff, while FFTL sings with some throaty growls and screams thrown in.

Yeah these bands are completely different. But if you compare those bands to like the Ramones or The Clash, would the result be any different?

But if they never broke up we would never have the Mars Volta. So there's some good to it.

I don't listen to much of the scene-y stuff, but I like Dead Kennedys. Nazi Punks Fuck Off is a pretty funny song. :lol:

I'm listening to Between the Buried and Me right now. They're more metal than hardcore, but they're on a hardcore label so that's a good enough reason for me (though Victory Records is a shit label recently). They're my favorite american band at the moment.

I used to listen to punk and hardcore in high school. The guys I used to skate with were all into punk, then I started liking some stuff too. My favorites were Minor Threat and Bad Brains. I liked some Black Flag and some other shit, but Bad Brains what what I listened to the most. They're also some of the only punk I listen to now.

I got into hardcore from my brother. I used to like Hatebreed and Blood for Blood a few years back(high school maybe), but now I can't stand listening to most of it.
Title: The Punk/Ska/Indie/Emo/Hardcore Thread
Post by: StreakInTheSky on February 12, 2007, 02:12:59 AM
Actually Minor Threat and Bad Brains are considered to be some of the first hardcore bands :lol: They pretty much led the hardcore scene in the 80's.

Hatebreed and Blood for Blood are more metalcore. Which is pretty much the aggressiveness and breakdowns of hardcore mixed in with metal riffs. In the past couple years though they seem to just call most metalcore bands hardcore or in some cases new school hardcore, and metalcore bands now have more of a metal sound than hardcore, if any of that made sense.

I used to live for this stuff in high school and was pretty scene :lol: Being in the pit was just an awesome feeling. I've sorta grown away from it. I still listen to it, just that I listen to more other stuff.

It is. I guess it's because the scene's pretty much all tied together..? Or something. Here it is, at least.
Title: The Punk/Ska/Indie/Emo/Hardcore Thread
Post by: StreakInTheSky on February 12, 2007, 01:45:59 PM
ska was pretty much picked up by a bunch of punk bands, what some people call ska-punk. A bunch of them also mixed up dancehall and stuff. I really have no idea how punk ties in with jamaican music styles :lol: I wasn't around to see how it happened. I also heard the word moshing was coined by a jamaican because it looked like they were "moshing grapes" at hardcore punk shows XD

Well how that ties with emo? emo was eventually derived from punk. But you also have to concider what most people know about emo today isn't exactly the same when the movement started >_>

Hardcore/punk used the be the music I listened to the most. But nowadays I just listen a little bit, and it's mainly bands from back in the 80s. Some favorites of mine are Minor Threat, SSD, Cro-Mags (AOQ!!), Dag Nasty (just the Can I Say LP though), Negative Approach and basically most of the 80s new york youth crew bands (youth of today, bold, side by side, etc.)

Nice choice. Pretty much what I carry around on my mp3-player when it comes to alt./hardcore. When it comes to music I happen to like a lot of stuff that came out when I was still running around the christmas tree. Well, maybe not even that.

Sad thing is, that I can't find a lot of asian bands making that kind of music without resorting to terrible Engrish and instead sticking to their native language. So no way to combine my interests there ...

I have a compilation on my computer with a some Japanese bands you might like, sadly I can't access it. The only band I could think of from the top of my head is Mind of Asian, cause they're girls and a couple of them are pretty hot >_>. They sort of mix traditional oriental sounds with hardcore thrash punk, it's a pretty fun listen.

If I think of more I'll post them in here.

I love me a bit of ska every now and again. There's this great ska/hardcore band from my area called The Flaming Tsunamis...correction. They USED to be great. Now they pretty much blow. Oh, well. Can't win them all. I'm not too big on hardcore (more of a straight up extreme metal guy), but there's a couple bands I like, such as HORSE the band. Those guys are one of my all time favorites. I'm going to see them with Light This City on April 3rd, and I can't freakin' wait.

HORSE the band is pretty cool. They have some nice songs and their 80's and video game references are pretty funny. But sometimes I can't seem to take them seriously. I also hate how people call them the creators of Nintendo-core... stupidest *whatever*-core genre name ever. I heard their live shows are crazy though.

You guys should check out finnish hardcore scene. There are some thoughts that thats where it began. Don't believe it though.
Kaaos, Rattus, Kuolleet kukat, Terveet kädet & rotten sound used to be HC but now they wanted to go faster and are Grindcore.

I used to listen to voodoo glow skulls back in the days. And I still love it... Rancid is one of my all time fav bands with NOFX :)

Buried Between the Buried and Me are releasing a new album

More prog metal than any genres in the thread title, but it's the most appropriate thread. They're still metalcore

Quote from: BTBAM official site
Well, we are done tracking our new record "Colors", and we couldn't be happier... it was an amazing experience as always working with the mighty Jamie King, and we couldn't thank him enough for being an amazing person and engineer/producer... we are currently mixing the record right now and will be done in the next week or so... the record will be released on September 18th through Victory Records. this record is nothing you've ever heard from us before... its a 65 minute opus of non stop pummeling beautiful music... we have described this release as "new wave polka grunge." we hope you have fun with it.... more updates soon... we are doing a small two week tour with our amazing friends The Red Chord, Cephalic Carnage, and The End... Arise and Ruin are taking The End's place on the Canadian dates... be sure and check out the shows section of the page and come hang out with us!!

Can't wait to hear what they have concocted this time. Definitely one of the greatest bands to come out of the hardcore/metal scene in the last few years.
Title: Re: The Punk/Ska/Indie/Emo/Hardcore Thread
Post by: Stryfe on June 16, 2007, 12:23:57 PM
I concur. They're like the Opeth of metalcore.

Alaska was a masterpiece, and I'm really looking forward to hear how their sound evolves on this new release. Their cover album already showed us they're capable of playing so many different music styles, still making it sound their own.

Should be a treat.

I love ska music, a lot!
My first ska-based band was less than jake this All my best friends all metalheads..still love that song!
Also quite like Reel big fish.
and I recently saw six.point.five and capdown(not the same night though) they're great!!

oh and I love rancid..just to say ^^

oh and back in the day(way before my time so i dont know much to explain the evidence to this etc) bu the reason u can put pun kand emo together is because emo originally stood for emotional punk and used to be very different to what we have now...is what I've heard a few times anyway.(dont kill me if im wrong)

that said i quite like this current emo-trend - love FFAF's first album! anf finch's
I love all these musics anyway ^^

^real emo is a lot more hardcore, new emo is a lot more whiny and soppy(that said i like both xD)
goth isn't really either of those, though I do get why they're similar.  But goth often has a singer with a beautiful voice.

Do correct me if I'm wrong though.
Title: Re: The Punk/Ska/Indie/Emo/Hardcore Thread
Post by: StreakInTheSky on June 26, 2007, 03:45:53 PM
old emo actually was pretty much hardcore with personal lyrics lol Though some went off into a more melodic direction, but was essentially still hardcore.

emo now has turned into any music derived from punk and indie with very personal lyrics.

I don't think they're exactly genres of music, just a label people gave it to separate it from the non-personal side, even if musically, they sound the same.  Also many bands labeled emo don't sound anything like each other. There are some bands that I think enforce almost all emo stereotypes, I call them emo bands( :cough: Hawthorne Heights :cough: )

Emo has pretty much grown into a pop subculture, taking over myspace and stuff lol

Goth isn't even really about music. It's a style and subculture. It's adding dark shit to your wardrobe and all this other stuff, look it up. I've never really gotten into goth, so I don't know much about it. There is goth rock, which is sorta like New Wave, sometimes punk rock kind of stuff with "dark" elements in lyrics and instrumentals. Think of bands along the lines of The Cure.

That either cleaned things up, or it made everything even more confusing :lol: You just need to know where these things come from. Which requires actual research. You can't just ask your friends and look at a couple sites. :lol:

It really doesn't matter though, unless you just want to know why everything is everything

^I've never really got the hang of genres but I know some people can get very personal about it all(which is why I said not hurt me if I'm wrong lol)

Music has evolved so much over the years nothing is really what it was 'back in the day.'

my first ska-based song that really got me into the genreish(anything similar to it too)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_F-ipYpd53I

Post by: Blu-Cherri on July 05, 2007, 09:20:44 PM
for me, an emo band would be (first album mostly)funeral for a friend and (first album) finch.(finch stopped being emo-like for second album)

FFAF PV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85EbUUBKo3w
Finch PV - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32rRtt6hF94

so you can see from that what SITS was saying.  In a magazine i read emo is listed as 'Emo/Post Hardcore'

goth I don't really know, so I searched and came up with

some finnish gothic music(i think by gothic it means it's more goth elements than pure goth...whatever that is I really don't know) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apKvbuI6xYI
a random song that I have just discovered I quite like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmRf64e7kJw
is HIM considered goth?? either way I like them...

my examples of emo and goth are totally different from each other so hopefully that helps you.

I just read that The Dillinger Escape Plan's co-founding member and drummer left dillinger to play with Coheed and Cambria... WTF...

here's an article about it

http://www.smnnews.com/2007/07/13/the-dillinger-escape-plan-discuss-drummer-change/


I like both bands, but this really just came out of no where. The Dillinger Escape Plan's mathcore is a far departure from coheed's more prog rock/post-hardcore.  I'm interested in how coheed's new album will sound. I know the article I posted says Pennie didn't record on the album, but I also read he recorded for the majority of it somewhere else. I'm still really confused about this whole thing :lol:


Also found out Atreyu has signed to RoadRunner Records

http://www.smnnews.com/2007/07/13/atreyu-sign-to-roadrunner-records/

This is another big WTF... Their last album sucked so much I'm surprised they'd sign them. At least they're not nickelback which is probably the biggest roadrunner records WTF of them all :lol:

wtf I didn't know Nickelback was on Roadrunner.:lol: I always got Atreyu songs stuck in my head whenever I heard them. I saw them, Underoath and someone else once when I went to see God Forbid. That was the first time I had been to one of those shows with all those little kids and their damn spin kicks.:P

I forget what started it, but recently I've felt like listening to Biohazard a lot lately. I saw them live a couple years ago. One of my favorite shows.

Post by: StreakInTheSky on July 14, 2007, 09:37:59 AM
:lol: I was one of those kids with the spin kicks >_>

Atreyu's first full-length is actually what got me into heavier music :lol: and the only show of their's I've been to was one of my favorites so they hold some sentimental value to me(they were also a band that helped me break the ice with a certain girl I had a huge crush on in high school >_>). But even that couldn't save the shit that is their latest stuff. I knew they were going towards that direction since their second album as they had some really catchy riffs and stuff, but I didn't expect the third one to be so mainstream... They sorta went the direction of Avenged Sevenfold, but atleast Avenged's latest stuff is pretty good... (I sorta consider those two bands to be brother bands or something since they are actually pretty similar in history and influence)


I personally hate biohazard's music (and pretty much most rapcore bands) :lol:


I recently got into this Electronica/post-hardcore band called Idiot Pilot. They have a preview of the their new album in their forum but you have to solve some kind of password from some hints they gave. :lol: It's pretty interesting if you like puzzles, you don't even have to like the band XD

One of their songs is featured on the Transformers Soundtrack, which is a pretty nice track.

I noticed I never mentioned another one of my most anticipated albums coming out soon.

One of my favorite modern rock bands of all time, Thrice, are releasing their concept album in a couple months. It's called The Alchemy Index, and will come in four volumes, of "the four elements" Water, Fire, Wind, and Earth. Water and Fire will be released together on October 16, and the other two later on. It's going to be written and produced completely by the band themselves in their homes

They've been keeping a blog about it for a while

and here's their myspace to check out their stuff from the past couple years

I've been following them for about 5 or so years and probably one of the only bands from that time I still listen to regularly. :lol: It's really amazing how their songs changed from pop punk to hardcore/metal to now progressive rock mixed with just about everything. I strongly believe that they are The Beatles of this generation.

I must get!

Speaking of BTBAM, their guitarist is making a tab book for the album! Not like most guitar players would actually be able to play it all though >_>

WHITE WAAAAAAAAALLS!

Man, the album's better than Alaska. And with every fucking music style thrown in the mix. Nuts. White Walls is the stand-out, my fave track of the year fo sure.

Today was a great day musically, damn. I'll hook you up with the album if it's not around publics yet.

HOLY SHIT!!!

I have no idea what I was just listening to...

White Walls is like decades of metal put into one track... amazing...

The whole album just blew my mind... you'd think I'd have a bunch to say, but wow...

The surprise track for me was "Prequel to the Sequel" the most epic under 10 minute song I've ever heard.

They weren't joking when they said there was blue grass and polka in the album XD

Wow. maybe I'll write more once I get my mind put back together.

There's no way getting around it: Colors is the album of the year, perhaps more.

BTBAM shift into so many directions, the grind element is less prevalent, and this is music at it's finest... powerful, delicate, grim, raw, beautiful, ever-changing, flowing, epic. Tracks like Mordecai and Selkies from the previous albums were just precursors to this style they've now perfected.

This is their Magnum Opus that sets a new standard of excellence. I can't get over how good this album is from start to finish. :_)


I wonder who the guest vocalist on Prequel is... someone said it's Jared Leto, but I don't know if he was just kidding. xD

XD Jared Leto. It does sorta sound like him though, but I don't think he can pull those vocals off.

I looked around a little and someone said it was either Adam of Fear Before the March of Flames, he's the guitarist.

I used to listen to them, but not much in the last couple years. It sounds possible though

Major BUMPAGE!!!

It's a pretty old album, but I'm listening to Coheed and Cambria's The End Chapter IV for the first time today, and I have to say this album is awesome.

So different from the album before it, but still got the sound Coheed and Cambria fans are used to. Definately their best stuff ever. They took the sound that they've been developing for the past few 5 or so years and refined it. I really can't see how they can top this album without completely changing their sound :lol:

ANOTHER BUMPAGE!


Another album from last year.

I first listened to Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled album a few days and I loved it. They were always a band that I wasn't too sure if I really liked since around the time their second album was released a few years ago. Their first major label release was good but it was a far departure from their previous punk-metal and I wasn't sure what to think of it.

But I have to say this album really impressed me, especially since they self-produced the whole thing. There was just a whole lot of genres thrown in but had this American hard rock sound mixed with awesome metalcore riffage. "Lost" and "A Little Piece of Heaven" were definately the stand out tracks, with the latter having heavy Danny Elfman influences, probably partly because they actually used instrumentalists from his orchestra :lol: "Lost" had awesome dueling guitar, catchy hooks and melodies, and bad ass solos, without ever going over the top like other bands :roll:

:lol: bump again.


I recently dled the new Sounds of Animals Fighting album. It's supposed to be released in a couple weeks.

I really liked their E.P. when it came out a few years ago, but I hated the second album, too experimental for my tastes.

But I love their new album. Considering it's a side project from a bunch of people out of the American indie/emo scene who never actually collectively came together in the studio, it is some damn good progressive indie rock. Though from listening to it I don't know if they did that this time. it's a little too good.

And also I usually automatically like everything Anthony Green is part of. So yeah...

can get it from this blog.

Thought this was the best place to post what I'm about to say. For me, the definitive rock album of this year, and perhaps slowly becoming one of my absolute favourites of all time, is 'Man vs Monster' by Fighting With Wire, a Foo Fighters-esque 3 piece band from Londonderry, N.Ireland. One review summed the album up nicely when it said it had huge guitar hooks capable to beach a sperm whale. The album has no filler in my eyes, with styles ranging from punk to the slightly more radio friendly tunes. I've included the video to 'Everyone Needs A Nemesis', perhaps their most iconic single from the album. If there's any justice, they're going to be huge.

I know of Fighting with Wire, they are very similar to Biffy Clyro. I was going to see them at a festival, but I met up with some friends that were too lazy to walk over to a different stage -_-

^ Your friends are idiots!! :lol:

I saw FWW on their current headline tour here in Belfast and they absolutely tore the fucking place apart. I met the frontman, Cahir, at the bar before they went on stage! Shook his hand and told him how excited I was to see them play and he give me a smile and told me he appreciated it. Top bloke.

And they're fantastic playing live. Lots of energy and Cahir's a great stage presence, interacting with the crowd. During the set he was talking about a gig review by the NME which wasn't at all flattering and he was saying that he saw FWW fans leaving negative feedback on the site and said that's fine to do that if you want, but at the end of the day it's one person's opinion so it doesn't really fucking matter. Then one guy from the crowd shouted 'FUCK NME!' and Cahir instantly went 'Aw no, don't fuck NME!' :lol: :lol:

He mentioned Biffy Clyro as well. Some guy in Dublin went up to them and told them you won't be as big as Biffy Clyro cause you don't have a ballad. :lol: So the drummer started playing some slow beats and Cahir gyrating about on stage like some pop star and he got up to the microphone to sing what looked like a new ballad song, then they just stopped playing and said 'You didn't really think we'd play a fucking ballad did you?' :lol: :lol: They're supporting Biffy Clyro on their headline tour, and I strongly suggest you go to see them. Sure the set will be shorter but if you like loud, fast, heavy rock then really you can't go wrong with FWW. When they opened up with 'My Armoury' I was so pumped up :rockon:

Just noticed this thread.

I started with punk - The Offpring, Blink 182
Then I used to be into metal -  Kittie, Cradle of Filth, Morbid Angel, Slayer
My dad introduced me to his music: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Hendrix
Then I got into shred guitar: Yngwie Malmsteen, Dragonforce, Steve Vai
I also like bands such as - Garbage, Ash, Feeder

Now, I listen to all these things but Japanese artists like Ai Otsuka and Aya Hirano are #1!

Sounds like a good gig! I might have to keep an eye out for a gig in the future. Although I did see Biffy at Reading and they are pretty good live as well. I think I will give their album a listen, i got it ages ago, just not given it a proper listen. :)

After reading the "non-review" of Seasick Steve's new album on NME, which, instead of reviewing the album - the reviewer just insulted Steve, I take even less notice of what they say - which was none!

checked it out as per your recommendation. gotta say it was pretty badass. I need to give it a few more listens before I can be convinced its as epic as touted, but I did enjoy it quite a bit. hope they make it big too

The Truth About Van Halen And Those Brown M&Ms
by Jacob Ganz

It's one of those rock 'n' roll legends that turns out to be true: In the 1980s, the party-rock superstars in Van Halen demanded, via a clause embedded in their tour rider, that no brown-colored M&Ms be allowed backstage at their concerts.

The story's (and you can see an actual copy of the rider ), but the release of with David Lee Roth behind the microphone seems to have been enough reason to get Diamond Dave to go in front of a camera for an official history of the outrageous demand. Though as he explains it, the clause was less an example of "simple rock star misdemeanor excess" than an ingenious, curiously skewed (and ) safety measure. I won't spoil the band's reason — just watch. Even if it's familiar to you, it's definitely worth hearing again, if only to spend five-and-a-half minutes with Roth at his most impish and charming.

If you like Deftones and Isis, check out Palms, its the singer from Deftones and some of the members of Isis. One of the better records of 2013.
