Finch / Funeral For A Friend - Bands like these?

SideWinder · 27 Apr 2007 at 19:47

I have "music swings".

Sometimes i really feel like listening to punk from the likes of Anti-Flag and other times i feel like a more indie approach from The Bravery. So at the moment i'm in a Finch/FFAF mood and i'm really loving this genre. Can anyone recomend any more bands like them? I tried last.fm but they threw up quite a mixture of bands that sound nothing like them and if they do, i already have their album.

Thanks. <3

especially 30 seconds to mars. Their first album didn't do too well but I love it!

I have 'A Beautiful Lie', is that the one you love?

Either way, my favourite song is 'Attack' on that album.

Okay, thanks.

Try silverstein and halifax and a change of pace and alexisonfire.

Alexisonfire are my favourite band, like ever. I have albums by the other bands you mention.

Fugazi!

Just because.

I have their album and they aren't too bad...

Nix said:
Hmm, to throw in a wildcard OP; try Boysetsfire.

I have one of their albums but i haven't really had a good listen to it. I'd better listen again.

Thanks everyone.

I have 2 albums of Brand New and 2 albums of Funeral For A Friend...i conclude that Brand New aren't in the same genre as bands like FFAF. Brand New are too 'light'.

Nix: I listened to the song 'The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows' and your point stands.

Coheed may be closer to FFAF than Brand New but i don't think Coheed are on the exact wavelength as FFAF.

I have listened to that song...i don't find it heavy in the slightest. It's "pop" like. Besides, what difference does one song make? I'm talking about the entire band. Brand New on a whole are 'lighter' compared with bands such as Finch/FFAF.

Coheed are not anything like FFAF but they are closer than Brand New.

I SERIOUSLY recommend Dallas Greens solo stuff. Goes by the name of City and Colour (Dallas' name). Save Your Scissors is a really nice song.

Been a fan for a while, he's amazing! <3

Also.

Seems most people would agree with me and that other guy.
Brand new and coheed are on the exact same likeness by users.

Edit: SORRY FORGOT TO MAKE CLOSING STATEMENT LIKE GAME SET AND MATCH AND CAPS AND USE

I whined about Last.FM's similiar options for FFAF in my OP.

I've asked around also, Brand New are NOT like FFAF. Finch are the closest band to FFAF in my eyes.
