The 'New Listener' help thread

[Dead throne]

I will never trust another piece of advice from these foums thanks to how appalingly atrocious these c**ts were last year. Had a big crowd though, surprised they haven't been announced for this year.

I would hartily recommend Swim Deep, FIDLAR, Deap Vally and ASIWYFA from stuff that's kicking around in the tents.

On the flipside I've finally realised who Imagine Dragons are after hearing their single played on XFM for the last six months. Jesus fucking wept, I thought they were supposed to be an indie rock band, what a load of absolute horse shit. c**ts.

[Yellow_Fellow]

Nah. Their 2nd album wasn't half as well recieved (or good!) as their 1st. I think franks got a cracking voice and it was a shame to use it all screaming. Wise move for me personally, and I love pure loves album.

That said, gallows final uk show at sonisphere was brilliant

[Asdaprice]

Rubbish! Grey Britain is a masterpiece.

[LEMON_WOLF]

Unfortunately not a huge amount agree with you

Absolute Punk: 83%

Drowned In Sound: 8/10

Kerrang: 5/5

Decibel: 8/10

Mojo: 4/5

Metal Hammer: 8/10

Rocklouder!: 4.5/5

Far better reviews then what the Pure Love album got which is average at best

I personally really like Don Broco. Oops.

So i might be getting a Friday ticket, I'll definitively be seeing Skindred, Frank Turner, SOAD and most likely Green day. I'll possibly be watching Bring me the horizon as they're new album isn't half bad. Any other bands people want to recommend?

if you dont mind pop punk, check out new found glorys stick and stones, it really is a phenomenal album and they are playing it in full. I'm guessing you've tried Deftones, which I can understand if you dont like.....

Other then that, bands that have caused some happiness on here are Fidlar, Frightened Rabbit, and Bastille on NME

I always wondered why Pure Love had such a great following on here, they just make me cringe. Especially Bury My Bones.

[Gucci Piggy]

I missed them for Blood Red Shoes last year, but my friends who saw them all said they were brilliant.

[Asdaprice]

Just an update, NFG are a lot like other bands i loved in the early 2000's like Sum41 and Blink182 so i'll most likely watch them, Bastille are a great more relaxed listen and seem to fit the gap between Frank Turner and SOAD perfectly. Fidlar i found pretty meh so i think i'll side with NFG as it looks like they may clash.

Cheers for the help.

[Asdaprice]

I agree with him, loved Grey Britain. Not really been that keen on anything they've done since Frank left though, and find the Pure Love stuff that I've heard pretty average (apart from Bury My Bones, which I found cringeworthy).

Although they're not on the lineup, someone sell Neutral Milk Hotel to me.

[kaosmark2]

All that critical acclaim?

All the wonderful things said about them?

All the reports that In the Aeroplane Over the Sea is one of, if not the, best albums ever?

Justified.

They're one of these bands that practically define pretentious indie kid namedropping, but goddamn they justify it.

Bury My Bones is a great song! A bit retrogressive but good fun guitar rock with solos.

Pure Love are certainly less embarrassing than a lot of shite these days. Jake Bugg? "Roll up a fat one and hide from the feds"? Nice one, you Liam Gallagher wannabe.

Know this might be a tad late.....but the new frank turner album is really worth checking out!

[Tobieski]

I can't help but dislike Swim deep due to the profuse amount of 14 year old girls with dip dyed hair and air max's that beg for their dicks on twitter, it infuriates me. Their music is fairly average too

[mrtourette]

I quite like them, first single was terrible but the last two or three have been good.

[Com Truise]

I like Honey, reserving full judgment for when their debut is out though, shame that's less than a month before R&L

[Tobieski]

More excited for Splashh's debut, similar sort of band just, better in my opinion
