New Wave Outpost Forum

I'm sure there are plenty of next wave bands that I'm missing out on, so I'm coming to your, my fellow NWOers for some recommendations. A few newer bands that I like include: the Epoxies, the Briefs, Bloc Party, Futureheads, Kaiser Chiefs, & Britsh sea Power. Stuff like Interpol & Coldplay really doesn't do much for me. What should I check into?

Do you like any NO Wave? There are lots of underground bands currently mining that sort of territory.

As for "next" wave, a term which means nothing to me, I've heard good things about TV on the Radio but I've not heard them.

I really hate most current music, including all the bands people here keep describing as "next" wave.

I have no idea which are considered next wave - I just think they're good:

31 Knots
A-frames
Art Brut
Autolux
Blood On The Wall
Broken Spindles
Chariots
Clor
The Dears
Division Of Laura Lee
Dogs Die In Hot Cars
The Editors
Elkland
Gang Gang Dance
Hot Hot Heat
Ikara Colt
Ima Robot
Kasabian
Louis XIV
M83
Thee Magik Marquers
Metric
Moving Units
Oneida
The Prids
Q and Not U
The Rakes
Something About Vampires And Sluts
Spoon
The Thermals
These Arms Are Snakes
Vhs or Beta
We Are Scientists
We Are Wolves
Xiu Xiu

Yep, I like plenty of no wave & post punk stuff as well. Forgot all about the A Frames, Division of Laura Lee & Hot Hot Heat, all great bands. Thanks for the info, I'll check some of the others out.

Something like Kid 606 is pretty cool. Very whacky and even though it's not a new technique, you don't hear that kind of thing over the radio. I'd also recommend current popular acts that don't get enough airplay, such as LCD Sound System, San Ilya, Thievery Corporation, Stereophonic Space Sound, and poseurs like The Faint and Ladytron. Get some cds on theremin muzak.

What does the * after Stellastar indicate?
I like this band very much, the little I have heard, and think they are one of the few bands that can truly be called new new wave.

VHS or Beta
The Bravery

I just discovered these guys, and I can't get enough!

I have no idea - probably just a little visual gimmick or something. Rock!

These guys are great -- the more I listen to them the more I like them.

I interviewed them a few months ago and you're right. Just a visual gimmick. The only disconcerting thing about them is that their lead singer looks about 10 years old in person. [:D]
