Bands that sound like Depeche Mode: A Tribute

[1980-F]

Djcory, this is really great stuff!

Unfortunatly you uploaded "Never again" a second time instead of "Shoot To Kill" and one other track (number 4 or 5) is missing, too. I'd much appreciate if you upload these two for completing this fantastic album.

There are a bunch of songs being distributed on bootlegs that claim to be DM demos, but NONE of them actually are. "Violence" and "I Feel No Guilt" are two of them - the current consensus of BONG is that these songs were done by Fortran 5, probably in their earlier incarnation under the name of I Start Counting. Many others, like "Cliche," are by Red Flag. To further confuse matters, Red Flag (whose singer sounds an awful lot like Martin) has covered a few older Depeche tracks, which have often been mistaken as demos, including "Told You So." There are others, like a new one called "Ponytail Girl," which is a (crappy) instrumental, not by DM, but I'm not sure who actually did make it.

edit: Eiffel 65's "Your Clown" could be mistaken for Depeche Mode also.

The Hunger!!! I love the song "Shoot to Kill"! I had a friend who spun "Shock" at the club all the time. Best song to dance to.

Other bands:

[b]Covenant[/b] ([i]United States of Mind[/i] and later)

[b]MELOTRON[/b]!!!! The most common remark I've heard about this German act is that the lead singer looks strikingly like a younger Dave Gahan. If you ever get the chance, it's worth seeing them live.

Their website has tons of samples http://www.melotron.com/diskografie/default_eng.asp

(I like this one, which would appeal to any Depech fan: http://www.advomedia.de/melotron/2_1_4.mp3)

(pssst, Synthpopfan: I don't know Mesh very well, but I heard their single "Crash" recently and I love it.)

Plastik, see the new thread.

Two blatant DM ripoffs are Ampersand's "Traction" and Machine in Motion's "World in Fascination." The former was posted in another thread, and somebody else will have to post the latter.
