So, if I like Franz Ferdinand, Hot Hot Heat, and Bloc Party, who else should I check out?

Everyone has different tastes, so it would be nice if Hubsters do like Horrorrgrrl and make a sampler directory, of stuff they like. From her "Current Indie New Wave-Post Punk-Dream Pop" folder, I've liked Clinic, iClash, Cosmicity, Future Bible Heroes, Eisley, B! Machine and I've only started listening to the directory.
I have a "Crap I Like" folder, but be warned it's mostly NOT Next/New-Wave stuff. |

| Pick up the Kaiser Chiefs' Employment ... very similar to the artists you mentioned with a touch of 60's mod. |

Definitely check out Stellarstarr, Melody Club, Trembling Blue Stars, The Magnetic Fields, The 6ths, Pitty Sing (I predict this band will be the next big Next Wave band, following in the footsteps of The Killers & The Bravery), The Arcade Fire, THE DEARS! (especially if you a fan of The Smiths/Morrissey), The Delays, Blue October (the Austin, TX band - not the UK synthpop group - although you might like both of them), Royal Visionaries, Louis XIV, Caesars (their new album is just a good as "39 Minutes Of Bliss"), Radio 4, Action Action, Mercury Rev, TEGAN & SARA!, METRIC!, The Ladybug Transistor, I Am X (Sneaker Pimps' Chris Corner's solo project - definitely lots of New Wave sounds here), Moby's latest album - "Hotel" (very New Wave), Electric Six, The Rapture, Manic Street Preacher's latest album - "Lifeblood" (hell, they even have a song on it titled "1985" - retro sounds throughout), Of Montreal, The Essex Green (generally classified as "Twee-pop", but definitely grounded in a Smith's sensibility), Bettie Serveert, Blonde Redhead, THE STILLS! ("Logic Will Break Your Heart" is a brilliant debut album), Postal Service, SCARLING! (great, retro-sounding goth band with ethereal female vocals), Scissor Sisters, The Concretes, The Raveonettes, The Faint, and all the other great bands mentioned already in this thread. I might also suggest checking out download.com & soundclick.com for some great current indie artists in the New Wave genre - and all downloads are free! Hope this exhaustive list helps - if I think of any more I'll be sure to post!

Oh, and one more - Fischerspooner. They are classified as "electro-clash" and while their 2001 debut "#1" certainly falls into that category, their recent album "Odyssey" is definitely New Wave. Of course their first album has fat synth-sounds as well, and is definitely among my favorite albums of the new millennium.

Yep, that track is probably my second favorite behind the Thin White Duke mix of "Just Let Go".

Yes - I wholeheartedly agree. This was one of my top five albums of 2004. Can't wait to hear more from them.

| The Futureheads are great! Like The Jam and XTC forming a supergroup! I love "Robot", "Meantime" and their cover of "Hounds Of Love". |

For me it's the Kaiser Chiefs, who must be XTC's love children!
I played their lp followed by XTC's Black Sea. Noticeable similarities, but for the best reasons. Sorry to annoy a few people here, but some of the current 'retro' bands are just noise and energy with no tune. At least with Franz Ferdinand, kaiser chiefs and the Delays you can hum the songs for hours afterwards. Perhaps i'm getting old and am going off the blistering wall of guitar noise that's out there (actually I never really liked it).
Anyway, if you pick 3 bands to splash out the cash for, make it these three and you'll want to put me in your will for the suggestions,
luv david |

If you're an XTC fan, you might want to check out a new band called The Veils and their new album "The Runaway Found". The lead singer is Andy's (XTC) son. Of course, they have their own original sound, but definitely influenced by XTC and Shriekback.

Did you type that with an Irish accent in your voice? You made me think of an Irish Spring commercial. |

Yes, Rich, I got them ALL! Thank you very much! They are all great, but I especially like the ones by Scarlet Fantastic, ATB, Iio, The Lovebite, and Ampersand. I love getting turned on to new music! You're so nice!  |

Hey, Blir, that would be swell! Like you travel with your hard drive in your suitcase...
At least you'll have some good weather up here, after the hideously cold and wet May we had.
BTW, I never told you how much I enjoyed your photo essay of NYC last month. The photos were beautiful and well composed, and the new wave commentary provided the perfect real-time accompaniment.

Oh stop!  And not everyone travels with their hard drives?? Seriously, I'll have it with me....the Jackson Labs researchers are huge music fans sharing their iTunes networks all day long at work. It's going to be a mega swap meet! Email me if interested...or not if this internet stuff is too creepy ya know? |

I don't think these have been mentioned yet:
The Prids (like New Order meets My Bloody Valentine)
Art Brut (raw, catchy powerpop a la Buzzcocks)
Soviet
(awesome OMD-inspired electro)
The Aeffect
(If you like The Faint, you should like them too)
Hint Hint
(Synth-heavy post-punk with vocals similar to Placebo's.)
Every Move a Picture Danceable rock from San Francisco.
The Fever (Catchy, punky mix of new wave, glam, hair metal, and powerpop)
Morthem Vlade Art Excellent European dark electro.
Miss Kittin
(Miss Kittin and the Hacker is one of the greatest retro-sounding albums out there, especially if you love robotic/monotone female vocals)
Lost Sounds
One of my personal favorite bands. Extremely raw, loud garage-synth (?) music. If you like The Screamers or Nervous Gender, check them out.
The Epoxies
Just plain awesome. Their live shows feature a keytar, lasers, and lots of retro clothing and duct tape.
Moving Units (incredibly danceable post punk with awesome basslines (think Gang of Four's Damaged Goods)
The Lovemakers I cannot say enough good things about these guys. They're a local synthpop band (local to me anyway; from Oakland) who are blowing up here and soon all over the country. And they started out as essentially a Cure cover band. If you live in LA or the Bay Area, they have residencies at Club Moscow in Hollywood and Cafe DU Nord in SF... easily one of the most fun live shows around!
...and I'll be seeing My Favorite on Friday. They sound like Belle and Sebastian gone new wave. |
