I told my wife I would leave her and the kids destitute to run off with her.

She just said "yes, dear"

Her last album is amazing.

Need to have a good vocalist and be guitar driven. Prefer smaller bands with an original sound to stadium hounds.

Nothing But Thieves will fit the bill.

Currently listening to a lot of the following :

Band of Skulls
Jack White
The Dead Weather
Frank Turner
The Clash/Joe Strummer
The Levellers

I'm just listening to Deftones - Diamond Eyes. One of my all time favourite albums of any band/genre. It's just a beautiful piece of work from start to end.

Saw them last week. A couple of good songs when they try to be original.

Two Gallants
Alt J
Cage The Elephant
Placebo
The Kills

Big fan of The Kills - seen them three times so far.

Cage the elephant caught my attention briefly with a single last year IIRC.

Placebo feel a bit old school and depressing tbh. Used to really like them.

Always thought aLT J was a charty type band ?

[irocfan]

if you like good vocals and guitar driven Halestorm have to be worth a try - the lady has an impressive set of pipes

[S10GTA]

Beatles? They've just released loads on streaming platforms.

Granted they ain't that new....

[Dissident Dragon]

Try Augustine's - seems to tick all your boxes. Probably one of the best live bands as well to boot.

Have a listen to Toseland - Renegade - easily my favourite album of the last 12 months or so and they are great live.

[irocfan]

Breaking Benjamin

Three Doors Down

Three Days Grace

Im a tad surprised at this, altho I shouldnt have been I guess.

I watched JT in bike racing and never really warmed to him.

I had heard of his keyboard skills and assumed that was the direction he had gone.

Anyhow, for me, this is all over produced and slightly dated tosh Im sorry to say.

Reasonable shout I guess, but again, to, erm , mainstream rock I guess.


Can you see now, why I find it so hard to find new stuff ?

[Turn7]

Maybe I should give better examples?

Band of skulls - fairly stripped out sound with melody but bursts of hard guiter/drums
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_E_R8vOMnA

Jack white - raw again
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiEoxktOoHg

The Dead weather - hard to define, but I love it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYDhw8_lAn0

Frank Turner - energetic and realistic
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB4Avdlz3lk

Im not saying any of these are any sort of definitive favourite, but the overall feel is waht I like about them all.

Does this help ?

Interesting K, as you , a long time ago, recommended Million Dollar Reload to me, and they are one of my favourite bands since.

Ive not invested huge time in them, but if you say so, then I will research further..

It is cheesy and retro but he doesn't take himself seriously on stage.

Met him a few times last year as the mrs friends have links to him and he seems a decent chap, just wish he's get hair extensions and become the rock god he aspires to be.

Anyway a few bands for you to check out :

Asylums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdETnxggDuE st video but catchy as fk song

Boy Jumps Ship https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0kmAhpy9q8

Make do and mend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zByo9-m6YpE

They've just finished a 2-hour live web concert. They just seem to get better and better with age

And they are very different to M$R

Hmmm, will invest some time in them.

Sadly (or not) currently listenign to Slash & Myles live at Stoke........

BBC4 did a brilliant documentary about them about 2 years ago. It's called "The Strypes: Best Thing Since Cavan"

It's not on iPlayer, but I'm sure if you Google it, you can download it from somewhere.
