2009 Releases

[IntoPhagist]

That new side project with Tom Morello seems pretty awesome.

 

[Einherjar86]

I recently purchased (online) Ben Nichols' solo record The Last Pale Light in the West. It hasn't arrived yet, but I'm excited. The clips I've heard were pretty cool.

where do you find out about these bands? i've only heard of three or four of those and i don't think i've heard anything by them before.

 

[The Ozzman]

He probably finds them through downloading

 

[Killbot]

blogs, review sites, last fm, net labels. Same way you find out about any music.

 

[IntoPhagist]

Thrice - Beggars...Incredible Rock album.

Reminds me of Radiohead

 

[Lateralus14]

Ya my bro likes them, they're pretty good from what I can tell but for some reason all I do with rock is rotate The Beatles and Pink Floyd obsessively.

 

[IntoPhagist]

The Beatles are the shit That's why

 

[EyeballKid]

CLUTCH - Strange Cousins from the West

Another nice addition to an already awesome catalog.

Thrice - Beggars...Incredible Rock album.

Reminds me of Radiohead

Is this out already? Alchemy Index eclipsed everything they've ever done.

 

[v2kv]

The new Thrice is terrible, and this is coming from someone who loves them. For me Vheissu was the pinnacle, but literally nothing happens on Beggars.

 

[Hammersmashface]

The new Thrice is terrible, and this is coming from someone who loves them. For me Vheissu was the pinnacle, but literally nothing happens on Beggars.

I disagree I think it's the best one after Vheissu.

Have you heard anything from the Sacred Bones label yet?

 

[Killbot]

I've heard the odd Zola Jesus track, anything in particular I should be on the look out for?

 

[(((0)))]

Well, Zola Jesus for sure. Max Elliott put a good 7". Children's Hospital is great Throbbing Gristol-eqsue stuff. Blank Dogs is what you need to listen to.

Also, check out the new Woods record.

 

[woozy]

my picks:

Bon Iver - Blood Bank
Mastodon - Crack the Skye
Isis - Wavering Radiant

CanNOT wait for Pelican's What We All Come to Need October release.

i keep catching Titus Adronicus on Sirius XMU and really like them a lot. Ive also always dug Pan American. nice list.

 

[The Ozzman]

The new Depeche Mode is decent. Nowhere near the quality of Violator though, obviously

 

[Lateralus14]

Mono's latest is still an easy top 5 for any 2009 list I come up with on the spot so I guess that would be my fav non-metal. maudlin of the Well's newest (which isn't metal) is pretty good but hasn't endured as many listens.
