New music?

With a few hours to kill after a very busy time at work, I'm looking for some new bands to listen to. Any ideas about good new stuff?

i may be late to jump this bandwagon but i got a 6 track promo disc from South for cheap today and it's not half bad. Do you like electronic melodies? Check out anything on Morr Music incl. Lali Puna, ISAN, Hermann & Klein and the excellent compilations Putting the Morr back in Morrissey (nothing to do with morrissey!) and a Slowdive tribute Blue Skied and Clear. RJD2/Prefuse 73/Dabrye are good if you like instrumental, quirky hip-hip. I got the new Metro Area LP on Source recently and it's very good also...70's and 80's influenced mid-tempo, minimal house. Quality. The new Underworld is excellent. Fridge are good if you haven't checked them out yet. I haven't heard St. Etienne's latest but it should be out now or soon. Read a copy of Wire at the newstand and then go shopping!

interpol! great NYC band that is fooking cool. beautiful and melancholy. turn on the bright lights is their first record and it's really good.

and the numerous joy division comparisons from the press might get you interested. honestly, i don't hear it, but i think it's just the clothes these guys wear. their sound is a little more lush and it lulls you into a passive melancholy state or a head nodding dance...very good. they're on the matador label (one of the best american record labels around!) and on the link below, you can check out some of their mp3s.

Kev from Puressence can't sing though - he was "The Mooch" at the Homage night !

Puressence have been around for a long time - not sure about being under-rated though

Belle and Sebastian....absolutely wonderful stuff

That must be why they only let him play bass!

I DONT KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN LISTEN TO THAT SHIT

The new Delgados album "Hate" is good as is "A New Morning" by Suede. Saw Suede on Wednesday night at the Barrowlands. They were ace, still got it after all this time. Saw another crackin' band called Electric 6 last Friday. There from Detroit, other than that I don't know anything about them. Very good though.

Very carefully...

I love 'em, they're perfect for lazy days when you just want to lay back and relax

two very cool albums i've bought lately:

INTERPOL - Turn On The Bright Lights.

• sound a bit like Joy Division, incredible band!

RADIO 4 - Gotham! Some new wave, mixed with punk and DISCO! Nice!

Her... the U2 best of 1990-2000 counts?...

Yeah, that was really bad...

the best thing that night was the cowbell player in ICB, he was a touch of class and should have been given some kind of award for his genius.

Hell yea, I have Gotham, great record. If you like the Cure, (gulp), or just want a nice wall of lush sounds, try South Pacific, "Constance" I believe is the record I heard. Very very VERY good stuff. ah fuck it, forget I mentioned the C***, don't have any predispositions listening to these guys. Go to cdnow.com and take a listen to some samples. No lyrics by the way, so if you need to hear someone sang you may not be into it. oh yea and if you like to rock out, like I do, Audioslave comes out with their record Nov 19. I can't wait!! Haven't been this happy since the marriage of my other two fav bands....who will remain nameless, lest someone says how can you listen to that shizat.....

The whole album is actually wonderful. Also, Mouse on Mars album Iaora Tahiti from 1995 is real good!
