Bands You Should Know 2

by on May 14, 2012

in May 2012

This week in Bands You Should Know we’ve got an intense rock group from Denver and a mega-dose of funk-rb-pop.

bands you should know speakers
Dude, Speakers is the kind of new band you’d be stupid to not pay attention to.  ”And Her Too” is the first song I heard from this duo and it kind of blew my mind.  It’s kind of Craig David smooth-suave and some STRAIGHT UP 1970s funk going on in the back ground.  Impossibly groovy beat.  Seriously, check these guys out.  You can STREAM THEIR EP FOR FREE ON FACEBOOK.  You’re welcome.

Sounds like bubble gum stuck to your shoe and multi-color stars.

 

 

Devoutcast brings a new kind of intense rock, taking the familiar metal riffs of bands you know and (used to) love like Metallica, and raise the stakes with influence from newer alt-rock bands.  There’s something dark and melodic in Devoutcast’s sound.

Sounds like an abandoned church and WWII rivets.

new music releases bands

W.E.R.M. - live

You probably haven’t heard of these bands–but you should.

Here are 3 bands you should know.

[Be sure to check out their music and if you like what you hear, pick up an album.  Let's support the music we love.]

 

W.E.R.M. (When Everything Really Matters)

This band is turning heads lately–as they should!  Their mix of dirty rock (think Nine Inch Nails and Stone Temple Pilots) mixed with an electronic sound that flirts with dubstep, well, this is a whole different kind of animal.  Watch their vid XXX on youtube.

Sounds like a new leather jackets and a shot of Jack.

Frank Franklin

If you like your music and talent RAW, then check out Frank Franklin.  This U.K. singer songwriter sounds very similar to Mumford and Son, minus a bit of the pop-ness (which is a fresh take, in my opinion).   Sound like something you’d like?  Then why don’t you check out his free EP The Boy That Changed Time.

Sounds like the cold English shore and a panda hat

Sudden Weather Change

Hailing from Iceland, these 5 art school students form an aggressively fierce sound.  Check out their track “Dark Matter” for a bit of sonically structured chaos, and find them on facebook here.

Sounds like a winter storm and a spotlight.

Did you check out these bands?  You should!  Leave a comment below and let me know what you think.  If you have any suggestions of bands *I* should know, ping me on twitter and let me know.

Bonus:

If you are in a band or know of a band, you should check this site out.  It’s a place to list your band (free for now) in a high quality directory.  This directory is all unique, human edited content (instead of being scraped together by a script).  I like the idea, I think it is something that could a) be a great resource for everyone, and b) give your band some additional exposure.

You’re welcome!
