QuoteNine Black Alps are worth checking out,along the lines of Nirvana.
Does anyone one know of seriously good music of modern times of a particular band? Not any of this lame assed Franz Ferdinand, Bloc Part and co. stuff. By serious I mean bands such as the Doves, the Mars Volta and the Kings of Leon....

Both albums by Interpol are pretty good. In some ways they sound heavily influenced by Joy Division, but not quite as dark and dreary.
Funeral by the Arcade Fire is a must. Very different to most stuff that is out there and has been compared to the Talking Heads, Björk and others.
Elbow are also brilliant. Could be difficult to get into, but worth a few oplays as I am sure it will grow on many people. Cast of Thousands, their last album, is probably the better of the 2 to start with. their new album is due out within the next couple of months.
For pure fun, the Killers "Hot Fuss". Many have tried this 80's sound and failed, eg the Bravery (truly forgettable), but Brandon Flowers and his merry band have pulled off one stonker of an album.
El Presedenti are well worth a listen remind me a bit of Janes addiction, latest song is a cracker. I also go along with Interpol.
Sadly most radio stations just seem to think alternative and indie music just means playing Keane and Snow Patrol (ourweeminds favourite band for some reasonover and over again, both of which I think are a load of bland sounding b@llocks.
Go along also with Hot Fuss by the Killers.
Its crazy to see people be what society wants them to be but not me.
Ok what is the name of that Snow Patrol song that has the bit that has the girl vocalist going.... Mmmm mmmmmm mmmm mmm mmmm mmm mmm ?
No CTD was a bloke with a bass voice going Mm Mm Mm Mm Mm
You need to know your Mms from your Mmmms
The Killers have been excellent this year. Foo Fighters new songs are very good also.

How can you call Doves a band and not Bloc Party? Hmmm?
I recently discovered the joy of Radiohead so i need not other music
Yeah well I liked the Last Broadcast. I loved Bloc Party about a month ago but now they just seem childish, the screeching guitar and irritating vocals and lyrics. 6They do have a great rhythm section though possibly the best around at the moment. I know Interpol are good and I haven't heard of El Presidenti (what do they sound like?) but what I mean is what are the next big thing?Oh God another music fascist on Foot.ie...

Commercially, a band called Hard-Fi from Staines, whose album's out on Monday, are gonna be huge.
A from England aren't too bad, last album was decent enough, worth a listen, sort of Offspring-ish, and new album is out soon, website here - http://www.a-communication.com/intro.php

Can anyone recommend a band thats not too well known and playing Oxegen this weekend?
at oxygen
bright eyes :defo see this band
hal : very good
magic numbers: stole glastonbury
mylo : dance but actually sounds like he made an effort to write the songs !!
they are the four im going to make sure i see anyway
100% - really like them. They are playing a gig in Kings cross end of July
HAL are great, as are the Magic Numbers. Interesting combo of people in it, 2 sets of brother and sister, create great harmonies.
Mylo is also very different and a class act.
Modern music is not my thing at all. Check out some Echo & The Bunnymen
There seems to be a very good song by some nude blue-skinned frog these days though I've heard
the subways are a must!
illiteracy and alphabet soup hmm?
Stay as far away from Echo & The Bunnymen as possible, try here
