Bands to try out.
#1
We all know sometimes lots of indie/moderately popular bands go unnoticed by most people..

So just in case you came across a nice original song in a movie/at a concert/etc...
Just share them here (youtube links), so we could all listen to them..


IMPORTANT RULE:
  • The bands should not be a small time local band, they should have a website/wiki page.

Quote:Kindly note: This thread is only for members with postcount above 50 (we all know the reason why.)
Here are few that I came across:

LONGWAVE

genre: Indie Rock.

Song: Secrets are Sinister

YouTube - Longwave "Secrets Are Sinister" Live At Soundfix
(I could only find a link to this live acoustic version.)

Love Spirals Downwards

genre: darkwave ethereal, dream pop, etc..

Song: Write in Water

(I am guessing this is a very popular band)

Cool
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown.
