The ultimate band reccomendation thread

Ok, we had these kinds of threads before, but mostly people
just drop a long list of names, i would like it if people
could write a little about the bands they name so people
will feel inspired to actually listen to it. Some links
would be nice to.
I would also rather you mention 2 amazing bands, rather than
10 where some are mediocre.

Here i go:

Junior boys:

Really cool production, tender singing over some fresh, slow
beats. Good indietronica type of thing. They sound a bit
like a slow slow phoenix. Same slick style.
Tracks to check out: Birthday (plays instantly on their
website)

http://www.juniorboys.net/

Suburban kids with biblical names:

This music is sort of stupid, in a really excellent way.
Bababa sing along songs with electric production. Pretty
good shit some of it. Some of their songs are really
catchy.

Check out: Loop duplicate my heart (a song about making
music on a computer all night)

You fail to convince me that these bands are amazing. They
sound mediocre to shitty. Indietronica?

Please make an effort in saving this thread, yeah. Its your
opportunity to spread the word on some good shit.

when i read "band" i imagine a group of more than 2 people
and usually a "rock" band. e.g. i couldn't call autechre a
band without imagining them with long hair and with guitars
on a stage.

have i understood the idea of this thread ?

I don't think this thread will ever be ultimate. It was
doomed from the start.

anyways:

TORTOISE

they keep surprising me, they might get boring for a second
or two but in another moment they play or release something
i didn't expect. Details : the previous album "it's all
around you" was quite peaceful and not as ground-breaking as
their earlier stuff and i thought "oh no, they're preparing
to die, that's it". But then this collab with bonnie prince
billy comes out and i go wtf/lol ? They decided to go cheesy
but still they can play what they want and in unique way.
With their sense of humour which many other artists lack.

ok, just one band for now, let's see if this thread is going
right.

Yeah yeah. Good. Tho, i call it a band, even if its one
person. I know it doesnt make sense, but i dont know what
else to say!
But hey, i love tortoise.

Obara, together we shall make this thread ultimate

I know its a thread about music, so it doesnt quite fit in
with xltronic, but cut me some slack

Come on ! Would u call Tortoise a ultimate band ? I don't
like them, but even for someone who does I can't understand
why it would be ultimate.

band is band i mean. but the bands i'm posting toy a lot
with the idea of "regular rock band" and the idea of rock
itself.

ok, on similar note i'd recommend Trans AM and the
album "surveillance". It's full of tracks that start as
regular rock tunes but about in the middle the band forgot
what to play next so they loop or finish. And there are
micro-electronic short trackies in between. I have lots of
fun with every listening.

skirmish between godzilla and hedora. read carefully mate.

also, i come to think that the only way to fight with guys
like tridenti is to talk about bands they haven't heard of,
so it's possible to shut their mouth. har har har !

more music threads = less shit quality trolling.

less shit quality [and dumb free speech hitler avatar
action] trolling = more space for music talking and quality
trolling

foo fighters:

lead singer was once in the legendary Nirvana as a drummer,
but has an excellent voice too. This music simply rocks and
kicks ass! They have some really good 'slow' songs too!

i'll never be able to convince anyone to listen to
something, except by linking to a review on amazon or
whatever.

Add N to (X)

Add N to (X) were a three-piece British band specializing in
electronic music performed on analogue synthesizers.

They signed to independent electronic label Mute Records in
1997, and achieved a modest commercial success before
splitting in 2003.

The group performed live regularly, often augmenting their
core three-piece line up with either one or two acoustic
drummers, and sometimes additional musicians playing extra
synths and/or electric guitar.

They often utilized distinctive artwork for the videos and
record sleeves, a fetishistic collage of sexual imagery with
analogue electronic equipment.

All their stuff is awesome!
