I guess most people missed the point of the thread which was to list THREE artists that people might not have heard much of and give a reason for giving them a listen.
Instead it seems it's turned into an open invitation for people to list their shite taste in emo and horrid pretentious rock slurry.
Yeah...because all of them bands i posted were emo bands.
Shove it up your arse here's your three bands and why.
Thrice - The only band to emerge from the lazily labelled "emo" scene even though they have no roots in it at all, have come through with a shit storm of a record with The Alchemy Index...a four part concept record with each of the elements as the inspiration for that disc. Fire and Water make up Parts 1 + 2 which were released recently with Earth and Air to be released later this year.
With the Water disc, think Radiohead style electronics similar to that of Kid A maybe, but with Fire prepare for that to be blown the feck away it's a apocolyptic riff extravaganza with Firebreather being one of the best songs written this decade (in my opinion of course)
Alexisonfire - Came out as your average joe screamo band, but have now transformed themselves into an epic as feck rock group, yes there is screaming, who gives a shite, especially when it is off set by the always pitch perfect Dallas Green who provides epic riff after epic riff as well as lending his silvery pipes to any given tune.
Check out : Accidents, Control, and especially This Could Be Anywhere In The World.
City and Colour - Not content with being in Alexisonfire, Dallas Green offers up his solo stuff under the City and Colour banner. not much i can say about this just listen to this song...Waiting taken from the new album "bring me your love"
