I've heard of Sara & Tegan (Hop A Plane) but NoFX is new to me.....

they rule 5 good albums at least and counting.

They are old... dating back 30 years ago... Dead Milkman-esque.

They keep on touring. Never gets old.

my goal in life is to pass along great music and great beer, and take note, these are all new bands, so for the 'rock is dead' or 'no good music today' crowd, all you have to do is search. You'll never hear Lettuce or Snarky Puppy on the radio, but they are both huuuuuuuuge bands. Lake Street Dive you can hear on any quality singer/songwriter centric radio station.

 

 

Now you're getting the hang of this. Thanks for all the links, pooj

actually shearwater is kind of intended to be kinda 'meh' in a weird sort of way. Okkervil River is a more alt-rock band, Shearwater was borne out of Okkervil to show more the nature/ambient sounds. I like them but am a bigger fan of the Okkervil River stuff.

 

and for the record, we don't have to agree on what each other likes, just don't stop looking for new music, it's out there, you'll certainly find something you like. Once you start looking, then yeah, music is dead, to you.

 

Rocks way dead. Bill Burr said it today on his podcast.

Lake st dive seems sweet. Shearwater seems meh.

Not sure I'd classify this as rock.

Hopefully you've heard of Ray LaMontagne, he's got a unique voice and is usually geared more towards an acoustic set than a full rock sound, but saw him last friday perform his new album, produced by Jim James and backed by the rest of MMJ. What a show, trippy, rocking tunes, very experimental stuff, you can definitely hear MMJ's influence on this album and his live performance.

 

this is the link to the video of the same song but the performance I was at

As hard as I try, I still can't think of the best band I've never heard of.

 

I'm starting to believe it's because I've never heard of them.

Ray Lamontagne was just added to Artpark on 6/29, also Noel Gallagher on 7/6 :thumbsup:
