Music Suggestions.

Nix · 29 Jan 2007 at 06:24

It's not often I directly ask for music suggestions, but I feel I might aswell give it a shot

I'm currently enjoying quite mellow rock, acoustic, indie kinda stuff (not the best description ever).

A quick idea of what I'm enjoying atm:

Jack's Mannequin
Creed
Citizen Hope*
Dream Theater
Switchfoot
Jimmy Eat World
The Fray
Sister Hazel
Cary Brothers*
Joseph Arthur*
etc

I'm basically looking for more stuff along these lines. Any suggestions? (try to avoid really obvious suggestions like 'Counting Crows', 'Staind', etc)

TIA

* Shamelessly whored from Scrubs' vol 2 soundtrack

P.S.

I did discover these fine folk around summer time, so have a listen if you're interested: http://www.myspace.com/enolafall

I've only got the one album by Death Cab For Cutie ('Plans'), but if its mellow indie you want then it's absolutely spot on. Great band

You might want to check out all the other big-ish Canadian indie bands too.

Hootie and the Blowfish

I'm really liking 'Death Cab For Cutie' and 'Cold War Kids'

Also got hold of some 'Poets Of The Fall' recently - awesome stuff!

Hootie are a lot like 'Sister Hazel' too!

I've known of MCS for about two years now, got both their albums. Not really into their stuff atm.

EDIT:

Hmm, 'Ben Harper' isn't too bad, a bit folky though.

Eric Hutchinson
Augustana (Similar to The Fray) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnqvjD7Kxs4)
The Shins (Although you may have heard of them on the Scrubs soundtrack)

Edit- Almost forgot Ben Kweller.
