My gf's brother is the drummer. They just put out a CD called "Footwork" , It's a crazy mix of Jazz, Funk, Hip-Hop and Alternative Rock. They have all the regular instruments along with a brass section, piano, and keyboard.

I'm really into "Interpol" lately- they are very "joy division" like.

My best friend is really into hXc , some of the bands I've been forced to listen to include:

Brother's Keeper

Grim Skunk (the first 4 albums)
Small Brown Bike (real alternative)
Tricky Woo (rock'n'roll baby! And not the poseur that are jumping on the bandwagon now!)
Local Rabbits (also R'n'R)
Bran Van 3000 (nice funky music)

how could I forget Arch Enemy?

give "shinedown" a try...you may have heard of them

Damn, I can't believe I left out Lacuna Coil and Cradle of Filth. Shame on me. :(

You might also lend an ear to Insight 23, back-in-the-day Rage Against the Machine, Devil Driver, NiN, KMFDM, A Perfect Circle, Slipknot.....

Hey Shelly!

It's so crazy that The Libertines got so big. 6, 7 years ago my band was playing basement shows with them. They were awesome back then too.

Nice to see you over here too :winkwink:

some of my friends just got back from NY and said there was someone flipping out by CBGBs that the Libertines were the best show ever.

The Disco Biscuits - Live Trance Fusion

Most exciting live band on the planet today... when they do play...

You're in Toronto.

Check out Robin Black and the Intergalactic Rockstars

Zawarte. A semi local band from SOuth Dakota. If you have been to the big biker thing in Sturges you have seen them.
