R+L New Band Listener Thread - 2014 Edition

[mrtourette]

Anyone here heard of Royal Blood? Should check them out, pretty good.

[the wonderwhy]

Didn't think much of The Orwells at first, then I saw this performance on Letterman:

Yeah that's awesome. Well, if you ignore the bit where the lead singer appears to have some kind of paranormal orgasm

[Gucci Piggy]

That Orwells thing wasn't great...

That's where the fun is!

[the wonderwhy]

Got one for thetime.

This is Mammut, who have apparently been around for 10 years now and have release three albums, although I can't see to find much apart from their second album on Spotify.

Anyway, I'm assuming nobody has heard of them, but despite everything being in Icelandic (or whatever their language is called), I'm loving what I've managed to find on the internet.

This one reminds me of Los Campesinos Hello Sadness album http://mammutmusic.tumblr.com/post/19572326910/mammut-rau-ilaekur

but this one has more of a bite to it, almost Savages-esque http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeGZriDklEo

Apparently they're pretty big in Iceland, they're supporting Portishead at ATP

I've been listening to them for years; got their entire back catalogue, and their poster on my wall.

Serious?

[Gucci Piggy]

Serious?

No.

[the wonderwhy]

No.

Oh you had me all excited

[Gucci Piggy]

It was a joke for thetime, pretending I was into a band because they became cool on here.

[dentalplan]

This is for new bands.

[rawaudioinput]

Shites for not doing another song though. At least Letterman and his mate seemed to dig it pretty hard.

It was because one of their guitarists' broke their strings; you can see the other guitarist in the far right corner getting in to it again

Also Mammut sound fantastic

This is the first time I've heard them, and while the performance was... (entertaining?), damn, their music is generic as hell.

Well someone hasn't been keeping up with the thread...

Anyway that song's a shitter. Try these ones:

Other Voices

Dirty Sheets

Mallrats

If you still reckon it's generic then fair play.

Haha sorry, only just got in.

And it just all feels a little repetitive, though I must admit, not wholly unenjoyable.

Anyone mentioned Cleft on here? I've just seen Royal Blood tweet about them, so I downloaded one of their free tracks and it's brilliant. Like a heavier-ASIWYFA.

Download here: http://cleft.bandcamp.com/track/hostage
