Every once in awhile someone somewhere will turn me onto a new band or group I hadnt heard of. Might be something older like Nat King Cole that you woldnt ever think you would like or something from your childhood that you just dont remember like Social Distortion that you have a new found respect for or a new band that you had to go find everything they had ever done.
Mine would be The Drowning Men, they were signed by Borstal Beat records after touring with Flogging Molly (BB is FMs label) the wife and I have seen them numerous times and its always a great show. http://www.thedrowningmen.com/
My personal favorite song is "Rita". Enjoy
Im hoping to find some more good groups from this thread! [Reply]
That's different....in a good way. Plus, you gotta love a nice looking girl who sings and plays guitar. That being said, I don't care much for her guitar tone. When mine makes that sounds I check for a short in the cord. :-)
I'd say Adriel's Tragedy. They were, or are a metal band that's local to KC. But I've only heard them live. I'm not sure if they have ever been in a studio
I heard that they have a new lead singer. So I stopped following them after that, and I've been duped before by bands that sound great live but can't put it together in a studio. And bands that sound really good in a studio, but like shit live. I'm not the music snob that I used to be, but I feel that a band should be the complete deal of being able to perform both live and put their sound on a recording as well [Reply]

I prefer a band that sounds better live than in a studio. I found Flogging Molly to be that sort of band. Their live show versions of songs have a lot more energy than their studio recordings.
A band that everyone should know about is Band-Maid. A five woman group from Japan who dress up as maids for their gimmick. Then play some of the best new hard rock that has come out in years. Make modern rock bands like Imagine Dragons or 21 Pilots seem emaciated.

If you can find it as it is rare, get Alive Behind the Green Door. It is a live album and I believe their first album. The live versions of songs they little recorded later in studio kill the studio versions. [Reply]
Anyone listened to the Aggrolites? They are a lot of fun live, Id also add to the list if you havent listened
Beans on Toast (british folk) (tons of drugs)
The Legendary ShackShakers (live much better than album)
Id also add in someone many have heard of but maybe not their later stuff
Levon Helm had some incredible late in life music, his life story is interesting especially when you learn of all the crap he went thru in The Band [Reply]
