So there was a post put up by DTC that is all about how the electro / ebm fans ( in america ) seem to bitch saying there is nothing new out and all they do at the clubs is play old gothy hits ( like shit thats over 20 years old that I have herd way to many times ) . Well being that is coming from MN and i used to be apart of that sceen I agree. You can read there post here...
http://darktwincities.com/dtcblog/2009/07/youre-killing-the-music/However I will talk about music... too much... really most people stop listing what I talk about after 10 min and want me to stop. Sooo yeah i decided that I could put up some new bands that have been rocking my socks latly. Most of it is German but whatever thats just the faze tthat I am in now. In a couple weeks I could be listing to something way diffrent. Recently I was introduced to last fm. A while ago i used to listin to say vampire freaks radio and other radio stuff on the net but after a while you noticed its just all the same songs in a diffrent order on loop and half of them you have already herd to many times anyways. However I like last fm becuse you can look up a artist you like and they have little radio station for them with bands who are like them and yeah i have founf alot this way. You can see mine at...
http://www.last.fm/user/AlasVeraEhhh just what I need to give out , more ways of stalking me lol. Hmm lets see well I was on a kick for a while of listing to Hole and it introduced
Daisy Chainsaw and
Queen Adreena. I have no idea how i missed thous bands before but it happend some how. I littrely stoped what i was doing when i herd Adreena and say holy fuck this is good and just listen to the whole song doing nothing till the next band came on with my eyes wide open and almost having problems breathing right - yes she took the breath out of me. Hey I have over 2,000 cds this does not happen often. One of the last times it did it was with goldfrapp years ago. All the others I knew like Jack of Jill, 7 year bitch, babes in toyland, L7 ect... You know angry girl music. lol. Love the shit.
So yeah back to German / Euro music some new ones that I can not get over i had never herd ( for harder industrail / electro / sexualy angry boy music ect... )
Steinkind ( oooo yeah these guys have a unuiqe style )
, Grendel , Aesthetic Perfection ( yes the guys i took promo pictures of - hey i have only known about them for a few months - played it in to the ground already lol )
Reaper ( put on a fun live show in Montreal - seems like he would be fun to drink with ),
Straftanz ( AHHH i love how this guys shouts - i really dont know German well at all but it makes me play the songs over and over so i can memerize what he is saying and sing / shout along lol )
Nachtmahr ( ok he is not so angry but i love the programing ) Yade ( have to love the nazi outfit with the russian hat - give him some love haha )
Aganoize ( you just need to listin to these guys - thats all i am saying )
Lets see some other stuff - ohh yes so there is this clasifaction there Neue Deutsche Härte (New German Hardness) sub-genre. You would put say Rammstien in to this catagory. Its a little more radio freindly but great non the less. One of my fav. is
Eisbrecher ( really cool style - i love the song "
This Is Deutsch ") and
Oomph! . Some others are
Unheilig ( chicks go wild for him over there i quess haha ) Megaherz, Asp ( a little harder ) , and Stahlhammer ect. These are pretty big over there and some have been for many years like Oomph! They play very big festivals, are on the radio and tour alot but yeah you never hear about them over here. Sad really.
Ok this is long enough. If you have any questions feel free to ask - else most of these bands are on myspace or last fm ect... just cheak them out if you love induistiral but have been listing to the same crap for a long time and want something new :)
