And when I say "new", it can be new as in- *current* Or recorded in 1976, but new to *you*.
The last 2 weeks, I've been on here asking for suggestions & compiled a list (feel free to add to it, btw)
With me, if I'm not 'grabbed' by the song in the 1st 1- 1:30 (or by the time the chorus comes along the 2nd time) its over. I try at least 2 songs & I Wiki'/ allmusic for band info'. (Amazing what those sites classify as punk/post punk, metal, btw!) They have to sound different & catchy in SOME way, before I take notice & wanna hear more.
Here's bands I ended up liking:
A7X- I was worried when I picked up on a hint of pop punk vocals, but the music was def' heavier w/ thrash leanings. Good to hear solos! Though they can do w/o the silly make up.
Ok Go- Great treadmill vid! Sounded closer to 70s powerpop. Liked their sense of humor!
Powerman 5000- Different vocals! yay! Sort of an electronic feel. Dude vaguely reminded me of Billy Idol visually & vocally.
tbc...
