Bands/Artists you think no one else at LBPC listens to

Dubstep, anyone?

Lol. I love dubstep and I love 60s girl band pop, but I've never heard a hybrid of both before, or even imagined that they could be mixed together. That's awesome.

(Now I'm looking forward to hearing Burial remix Elvis!)

Weird how it seems to work, huh? lol.

What I like to do sometimes is to search YouTube for the most obscure dubstep remix possible. Usually, i'll find what i'm looking for. For example, I once searched "Father Jack Dubstep."

[Dragonvarsity]

Smash Mouth?
The Presidents of the United States of America?
Vampire Weekend?
Two Door Cinema Club?XD

Nice, I've heard a song or two from Two Door Cinema Club, pretty good stuff

After I found out they put it on tv I was a little. :'c

[Mr_T-Shirt]

Remember what I say earlier about searching YouTube for random dubstep remixes of stuff? Well, lookee what I found:

EDIT: Best sample is at 96. If you don't want to watch the whole thing, skip to that for DJ Roy Skankbell.

[Mother-Misty]

Kraftwerk.... anyone?


cheers,

I quite like them too.

Does anybody like The Courteeners, or Temper Trap or Mumford and Sons?

@Mr T-Shirt - Seeing you post those Aphex Twin clips brought back some bad memories. I remember staying up late one night, alone at home when I was about 14/15 (ten years ago), twas flicking through the music channels, and this song came on, it was Aphex Twin (hence the anicdote ). Anyway, it starts off with these tow blokes sitting in the car chatting and swearing at each other for about 15 minutes, then it goes to the actual song bit, and it has those people dancing around in a pool or something with the lead singer's (or whatever he is) face super-imposed on their bodies. Now, he has quite a freaky face, but at the instant I saw these freaky looking people, I didn't realise it was his face, I didn't know what the heck it was...... it scared the bejeeeeeeeeeeeeeesus out of me!!!! Needless to say, I did not sleep well that night.
I have seen it since... it's still freaky as heck, but doesn't scare me quite as much as it did initially.

You mean Windowlicker? (Warning, warning: Naughty Language.)

Yeah to be honest, Windowlicker isn't one of my favourite songs by him either. It's a shame a lot of people were probably put off his stuff because some of it is so **** freaky! Seriously though, look at that in contrast to Avril 14th and it's like a whole other artist. Just don't watch "Rubber Johnny!"

Also, i'm kinda glad this thread got bumped again! I wanted to post these songs for you guys, but didn't want to double post:

Do you remember a band called "Peter Bjorn & John?" Maybe? There most famous song was "Young Folks."

Well, here are a few other of their tracks. If you ask me, they are still seriously underrated.

Cool! That song has been used so many times in adverts that many people can't stand it anymore, but i quite like it.
Thought they were a one-hit-wonder

Yeah, me being one of them! Curse you Homebase!

[bonner123]

Has anyone ever listened to the Scissor Sisters?







...No I don't know what's going on in those videos. Just go with it.

[Dragonvarsity]

@bonner123: Haven't heard of them but I'll make sure to listen to them later x]

Since we have some firefly fans here, some of you guys probably heard of them but I just wanna make sure. Anyone heard of "Bedlam's Bard"? They're a band that does different songs, each of which at least have to do with the show/movie some. I won an autographed album of them at some miniature convention mainly for the show and movie, but we stopped going as the prizes got crappier and they decided to make it longer with non-related Firefly stuff by Joss Whedon to play. Anyway though, some of their music is good, some songs better than othhers, but my favorite is the last song on the album, "Sail the Sky". (Sounds even better when having at least on iTunes, (not sure about other music places) and with headphones/earbuds)

[Outlaw-Jack•]

Well, when it comes to stuff people don't listen to, I'd definitely put Tartanic up there:


I'm not sure about Europe, but I know that over in the States, Van Canto needs some love:

[Smurfetta5683]

this is a great topic!!! i absolutely love Hal Sparks who is from the US show Queer As Folk, which i love. his band is called Zero 1 and i just happen to love the music as well.

Amazing song.
