What "new" musical band or artist have you discovered lately?

[2bfree]

I am totally addicted to the Katie Melua CD, Piece By Piece. She is a little like Norah Jones.

1. Butterfly Child

It's fun discovering "new" things, even when they are actually not very new.

[Radical Activist]

2. Euphoria

He has been around a few years but not widely known.

[Phillycat]

3. Gnarls Barkley

But I'm late on that bandwagon. I really like the CD though.

[LynneSin]

12. I absolutely love their sound

I'll probably download a few of their songs and test drive them out a bit

[WritingIsMyReligion]

30. I like that single "Crazy."

Does that make me craaaaaaaaaaazy?

:D

[Initech]

4. Wolfmother, Arctic Monkeys, and Gnarls Barkley

Just a few of the new bands I've been getting really into lately! I want to get the Racontuers CD really badly as well.

[flamingyouth]

11. Me too

I like the Raconteurs CD as well. :)

[ghostsofgiants]

13. Haven't listened to Wolfmother...

But :thumbsup: for Arctic Monkeys and Gnarls Barkley.

5. Opeth.

So many good songs... :headbang::headbang::headbang:

[Initech]

7. Opeth rules!

I own all their albums and have seen them at least four times in concert. :headbang:

Hell I think I might put on either Blackwater Park or Ghost Reveries next.

[Taverner]

6. Moses Guest and Tea Leaf Green

Both awesome bands IMHO

[grace0418]

8. Eli Jones and the Bare Bones! Excellent, funktastic, soulful.

I haven't seen them live yet but I heard they're awesome. Their ep is actually a live recording and it's amazing. If you like a great funky beat with some old-school soul and blues thrown it you will love this band...

9. Pineapple Thief

Kind of a cross between Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, and something else I can't quite place.

[Pierre.Suave]

10. Jane Monheit

Not only beautiful, but an incredible voice.

14. Paulson, Arctic Monkeys, Pistolita, Children of Eve, Idiot Pilot

Lots of stuff, really.

[Hard_Work]

15. T-KASH

Bay area rapper who REALLY has it in for Dumbya. He is associated with Public Enemy and Paris, so he is highly political and very lyrical.

[Bake]

16. Widespread Panic.

I know, they're not "new." But remember, I'm FIFTY freakin' years old!

Good band.

Bake

[HughBeaumont]

17. Jesu, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Pelican

Not really NEW artists, per se, just unheard of . . .

[MsAnthropy]

18. Dixie Chicks! And I vowed NEVER to own country music

[tuvor]

33. The new album's not very "country"

Buy "Home". Great stuff...including fiddles! :scared:

[SteppingRazor]

19. Arctic Monkeys is overrated, but still the debut album of the year so far.

As far as other recent stuff, I really dig Built to Spill's new album. And there have been some GREAT sophomore efforts this year, like the new albums by The Coup and Pretty Girls Make Graves.

[LSK]

20. Dido

[leftofthedial]

21. John Common

free school records
