Bands you've discovered (since lienup announcement)

[Vieuphoria]

Lanegan>Everyone Else

[2rare2die]

Apologies, I Have Nob AND Of Monsters and Men. Awwwkward.

Apart from leading myself into a stupid clash I'm also digging Mark Lanegan.

[ReynholmIndustries]

Of Monsters & Men are lovely, think I might be fighting a losing battle to get my mates to see them over PABH though. Might have to go solo.

Also liking Passion Pit, Grimes, Japanese Popstars and Pure Love (well, the one song Pure Love have.)

[Vieuphoria]

I really quite like Here We Go Magic

[GBGemmell1996]

Twin Atlantic and Dry the River!

[The Mean Bean]

Only The Shins and The Skints so far, but Blood Red Shoes seem to be popular on here so I'll be giving them a listen, and probably quite a few more before the fest.

[scmck]

The 2 favourite bands that I have discovered are Of Monsters And Men and Dry The River

Also quite like Pure Love (well the one song they have) and Spector

[DL50]

A lot of people seem to be recommending Of Monsters and Men so i'll give them a listen

Personally i cannot recommend Dry the River enough, awesome band, i think the tent will be packed for them!

Twin Atlantic are on before and they are ok so worth watching, i'll be there for Pure Love before as well because their new song is good and i like Frank Carter

[insideaway]

Band of skulls, the shins, deaf havana, pabh,

[Dan R]

Was determined not to listen to Of Monsters and Men cos I wanted to watch PABH.

Now I've got a bugger of a clash.

[JeffLynnesBeard]

Scarily, my opinions have been mirrored several times in this topic (great minds etc.)

The Shins were a brilliant discovery and I've enjoyed listening to Blood Red Shoes.

The best new band I've uncovered is the mighty MFATGG!

Other than that, nothing else new has done much for me - except BBC - who make me want to self mutilate.

[Duw13]

The Gaslight Anthem big time, as well as The Courteeners, Spector, Los Campesinos and Howler. Also got me to download more songs by artists I already knew (Graham Coxon, The Hives, The Black Keys etc,)

[iPaulo xD]

Pulled Apart By Horses

AvA

Billy Talent

Los Campesinos

Just discovered Dry The River... Awesome band - real nice sound to them. I'll definetly be in the tent for them!

[Calzum]

Found out about iceage, cool little Danish punk rock band, if they don't clash with anybody ill be sure to give them a watching

[PurpleFire]

Dry The River....Truley bueatiful!

[rug568]

I'm quite partial to a bit of Of Monsters and Men and Dry the River.

Haven't really started with the FR stage yet, i'm sure i'll find a couple of gems in there.

[Gucci Piggy]

Alberta Cross sound good. Checked them out cause I had no one else to see when they're on.

[rfc_478]

Django Django - enjoyed them at Field Day

Dry The River - beautiful music

Here We Go Magic - catchy fun guitar music

Of Monsters And Men - had a listen on the recommendation of people here, and have not been disappointed!

In terms of the Festival Republic, been listening to Citizens! and We Are Augustines this week, both sound good. A fair few bands in there that I'm interested in checking out

[AcademicPistol]

Soen - nothing to do with Reading, I have just discovered them since the line up was announced
