FabSwingers.com forum: Music suggestions...

By (user no longer on site) OP

Right the fabbers I'm stuck in a rut music wise and would love some suggestions to check out some new music.

I love rock music predominantly and always end up back listening to grunge...now considering that era ended about 25 years ago there isn't a lot of new stuff around!

I'm pretty open minded and like good lyrics as much as a good tune, a good backstory to a song is a guilty pleasure (as well as a ballad after a few shandies...this peice of meat has a heart

So what's everyone listening to? No prejudice as we all have our own taste...

"Try Fontaines D.C "

I'll make sure I do, any song you'd recommend to begin? If there's enough suggestions I'll make a Spotify playlist I think.

Thank you good sir.

Thanks for the recommendations, just listened to Jobseeker and really enjoyed it, sounds a lot like The Streets...lyrics are a funny/depressing social commentary!

Disturbed though...I think we may now be mortal enemies as I can't for the life of me get into them or enjoy them in any way

That being said i do like Rammstein

I can’t recommend Those Damn Crows any higher, fabulous band, great bunch of lads to talk to and probably the best British live rock act at the moment

And they’re from Bridgend!

Son saw Pretty Reckless in Bristol last year.

Ice Nine Kills have an album dedicated to horror movies if that's your thing.

Patent Pending are a fun band. Saw them live when they were last in the UK.

I was also going to suggest Those Damn Crows. Three brilliant albums and really good live.

Thunder are also really good but may not be heavy enough for you.

I'd definitely recommend a band called Tropical Fuck Storm, silly name, very serious band. ausie new age psychedelic rock band I guess, hard to describe them really they're so unique. the front man, Gareth, isn't just an incredible musician, he's a crazy sound engineer too, seen them live a couple of times and it's crazy how he gets those sounds out of a guitar.

If you are looking for new music as opposed to ‘new’ music which is just something different to what you normally listen to, my 2 recommendations to try are Wunderhorse and Trampolene
