| Yo! I'm kinda pissed these days. When I tune on my radio, all I hear is poppy music. I'm kinda getting tired of it, you know. I finally found a band that sounds very rockish. At my Universal Music internhip, someone told me to listen to Fiction Plane. This British rock band sounds amazing. I'll be honest with you, their new album "Everything Will NEver Be OK" is exactly what the rock sound should be like especially when the mainstream is puttnig out so much pop music. Check out Fiction Plane's site: www.fictionplane.com and tell me what you think of them. Do you guys think they can be te next answer to bs pop music we hear everywhere? |

So, someone at Universal Records suggested a band that is supposed to be "anti-pop." Riiiight.
Perhaps you have never heard of bands like Gamma Ray, Dream Theater, Blind Guardian, Iced Earth, Helloween, Symphony X, Falconer, Fates Warning, Devin Townsend/Strapping Young Lad, Steve Vai, Grave Digger, or Kamelot?
All of those bands are real rock/metal bands. Sadly they will probably never become popular (except for Dream Theater; they were fairly popular in the early 90s and are basically the only band in the list that is on a major label) because people can't handle music that deviates from the standard I-IV-VII in the key of C rhythm chord progression... |

Well, they are all either Prog Rock (Dream Theater and Fates Warning), Prog Metal, or Power Metal pretty much. Except for Steve Vai (he is simply awesomeness) and Devin Townsend (he doesn't reall have a genre other than "metal"). Hell, Devin Townsend even made a Pop Punk album in 1996! It was a parody of crappy punk rock and is really quite funny; Punky Bru"ster [u" = umaulted-u because konqueror won't let me enter the extended char for some reason). The best part is that it sounds exactly like pop punk does nowadays, but was made seven years ago.
I think Strapping Young Lad could become popular with the radio-metal-loving kids if it were on a mainstream label / Devin Townsend didn't decided to kill it (there was like an eight year gap between the last SYL album and the one released last year and it was only released because Devin was pissed off at a lot of stuff and decided to write an angry metal album instead of a weird industrial metal album).

You better not start crying.
I just had to take a cheap jab, sorry ;-).
I like music that is a bit heavier than Emo is. Hell, half of the so-called "Hardcore" bands nowadays are really Emo bands in disguise. Now, The Dillinger Escape Plan, that is really good Hardcore (or is it post-Hardcore? Due to the math rock influences and whatnot). I'm in a metal band that the guitarist likes to think of as post-hardcore because he doesn't want to stop being hardcore...I'm a metal head, he's hardcore, the bass player is something else, the drummer is an old punk rocker (more of a metalhead nowadays / doesn't look the part of a punk anymore), and the keyboardist (my brother) is trying to be me. Quite an interesting band we have...We'll probably have a complete track uploaded in a few weeks. |
