Music I've got lately that I like (and you might too)

[melx]

Firstly...

The Cult : Born into This

really really love this album from 2007..... if you like any of the Cult's other albums you will love this...to me it sounds like a cross between 'love' and 'sonic temple' .....Rocking but with more melody and tunes than the 'ac/dc rip off' phase. Check it out.

Circus Diablo : Circus Diablo

You've probably heard this already if not you should have. Billy Duffy, Billy Morrison, Ricky Warwick....good rock album.

The Doughboys : I've loved this band for years and recently started tracking down the CD's so I can put my deteriorating vinyl on the shelf..... Awesome Canadian Melodic punk/pop/rock ..... Check out 'Home Again' ' Happy Accidents' 'Whatever' 'Crush' & 'Turn me On' ......... if you can track them down. Earlier stuff is punkier, later stuff rockier.

I also heard Big Drill Car have a new album out...... which could be exciting.

Fucking hell, I thought i was the only person in the UK who knew about these guys, I got into them back in 96 and they did that one thing that i hate bands doing where they havent quite split up but arent playing together anymore, their singer John Kastner formed another band after the Doughboys called All Systems GO who released two albums and they did the same thing.

Back to the Doughboys if you can get hold of their eps When Up Turns to Down and Blanche you're in for a treat. 16 sins and Seans Stories are fantastic tracks.

Kastners solo album is a bit of a corker to.

awesome.... I know 3 other people who like them (and they are all friends of mine!!) I was lucky enough to see them twice....first time was at reading festival (might have been 93? in the 'melody maker' tent as it was known then... they were great but I remember being gutted they didn't have T-shirts for sale. LOL! Then I saw them at the 'town & country club' (now the forum) in London with Ned's Atomic Dustbin and Mega City Four...... that was pretty awesome and I did get a T-shirt that time!!! They didn't play in the UK much at all, I only know of two other London gigs that my mate went to.

I have 'when up turns to down' but I've never heard of 'Blanche' ??? .... I also have that 'La Majeure 1987' demo ep that Boss Tuneage put out a few years back. .... the Kastner album is in the post actually (on vinyl) looking forward to that. I'm pretty sure my mate has everything they've ever released....I know he has a weird 7" and a few CD singles from the later albums.

yeah, I like All Systems Go too... another fine band.

I'm always looking for bands that sound like this....but they seem few and far between.

Maybe the WH's will do a cover of 'countdown' on 'stop us vol2'

....or 'I never liked you' off turn me on would be cool...... I wonder if Ginge likes the Doughboys?

I'll knock you up some cds in time for the brighton show then dear boy, I have a lot of stuff like that

I'm currently really enjoying listening to Volbeat

Its a strange mix of genres, but very good listening

Will check em out cheers.

i've been digging the new He Is Legend record, "It Hates You." really nice mix of huge rock riffs, amazing melodies, a bit of metal-influence, and weird-ass lyrics. seriously awesome album.
