LittleRushmonkey Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I honestly love discovering new bands. I've been finding out about loads lately (mainly from a festival I'm going to) and at least 2 of them, Solstafir and Haken, have moved into my top 5 for now. I've also just started listening to Riverside who I've known about for a while but never really listened to and they're awesome. I saw a thread that you stop listening to new music after 30 or something, which I honestly hope isn't true because discovering new artists is one of my favourite things about music. So my recent discoveries are:RiversidePolyphia (An instrumental only band)The Sixxis what are your most recent discoveries?

Rod in Toronto Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The music output of today sucks so much that I've been finding time to "discover" bands from the past which I neglected when they started: White Lion, Dokken, Europe etc. When it comes to new bands, I recommend the following: Royal Blood, The Temperance Movement and Von Hertzen Brothers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I'd say Knifeworld is recent enough of a discovery of mine still... I plug them a lot... Sorry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Presto-digitation Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I love Riveraide and saw them live in front of about 20 people. Awesome!! Check out New York-based prog rockers JOLLY and any one of their three albums: 46 Minutes 12 Seconds Of Music, The Audio Guide Of Happiness Parts 1 and 2.

Yeah, when I'm bored and want to find a new band to check out, I always go to Narpski. He's the guru of new trends!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod knows I have been tugging everyone's legs up to this point and acting as if I haven't discovered anything new since Reagan's first term... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. Quite a few of the bands mentioned here are going to Ramblin man fair, like the temperance movement who I've not got round to listening to yet. Knifeworld are also going if I'm not mistaken. I can't wait to go. The last music festival I went to was Solfest, which isn't exactly my taste to be honest. Although they did have nice food there... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Skull Daze I put them up against any rock/metal band from the 80s ( they are a current band with an definite 80s vibe ) - I love them - they are not some stupid parody either http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_g9tU2i25M Edited June 8, 2015 by Lucas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, this will be my first festival at the age of 49, I'm really looking forward to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleRushmonkey Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 I was talking to someone about Nightwish yesterday and I'd only heard a bit of their stuff before. Listened to two of their newest songs and I was blown away. Especially by endless forms most beautiful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
