Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
BTBAM - S/T
Codeseven - Division of Labor
Hopesfall - nowingstospeakof
white octave - i freaking forget the name of the album haha
beloved - the running EP


im sure there are plenty im forgetting. go ahead and add to the list. i just did this on a whim.

stuff i have in mind is albums that define a band or genre in NC. Hard to put into words but im sure some of you know what i have in mind.

Swift - absolute uncontrollable and waging war
A Kiss for Jersey - dont know the name of the album... but it is pretty good

keep your head above water

mm yea. i totally agree, especially about swift. considering what Jamie King has done for the NC music community in general, I cant believe i forgot a swift album.

1/2/2007 10:52:15 PM

The entire Archers of Loaf catalog
The entire Polvo catalog

1/2/2007 10:52:52 PM

forgive me if im wrong, but is clutch from NC?

also, the avett bros (i was reminded by the topic going on)

1/2/2007 10:56:35 PM

Archers of Loaf - Icky Mettle

1/2/2007 11:09:52 PM

completely different than swift or a kiss for jersey.... but i really liked weekend excursion and there is another band a lot like them from the same high school called looking back

more dave or OAR like, but talented nonetheless

Charlie Daniels-Greatest Hits

1/3/2007 12:32:11 PM

greatest hits /= album.

1/3/2007 12:37:11 PM

Some good stuff in here. I'd like to add:



Doug Clark and the Hot Nuts - Nuts to You. This album blew minds in the 60's and the band was the basis for Otis Day's band in Animal House.



Corrosion of Conformity - Animosity. Classic crossover that put NC on the map.




The Ladderback - Introductions to Departure. Maybe not a "staple" of NC music, but a good band and good album nonetheless.

Ryan Adams - Heartbreaker
Hopesfall - nowingstospeakof
Swift - absolute uncontrollable and waging war
white octave - Style No. 6312 and Menergy
BTBAM - The Silent Circus and Alaska
Spite - Bastard Complex (personal favorite of mine)

I can't really say the avett bros because I grew up with those dudes.

why no mention of crooked fingers?

1/3/2007 3:11:05 PM

i'm pretty sure they're based in seattle

1/3/2007 3:20:11 PM

why is everyone against a kiss for jersey?? i mean i dont back them with all my being, ive only heard them live once and some stuff on purevolume, but it is pretty good. i guess not a staple, but they are good IMO.

swift promised a 2.5 hour set the next time they play ziggys....which is good news....it means they arent done

unless something crazy has happened that's not true. you must be confusing them with someone else. eric bachmann (the former lead singer of archers of loaf) is pretty much the central figure and driving force behind crooked fingers. as far as i know he still lives in asheville, nc.

edit:
apparently they record in seattle. i guess their members are from all over. but eric bachmann is certainly their main figure and he is from NC and did their entire first album himself.

I just picked up Dignity and Shame on vinyl the other day. Crooked Fingers is amazing.

1/3/2007 5:23:06 PM

not to mention eric bachmann's most recent solo effort. i'm pretty sure he just went to an outer banks, nc hotel for a little while and recorded all the vocal and guitar tracks. bonus points for having songs very specifically about NC ("carrboro woman" et al.)

1/3/2007 6:24:54 PM

Proof - s/t

1/3/2007 7:43:00 PM

^^ i really dig that bachman solo. probably more so then i have gotten into any of the crooked fingers stuff

1/3/2007 8:04:32 PM

he is legend, ASG...

1/3/2007 9:40:29 PM

yea both of them as well. ASG for sure. He is Legend has gone under so many names. Commercially theyve made their biggest impact under HIL altho i liked them live more when they were the uriah omen.

1/3/2007 9:43:12 PM

I prefer NO One Wins.

1/3/2007 11:13:40 PM

ahh the ladderback.

grew up seeing those cats in rocky mount.

and while we are at that trend, anyone remember legend of the overfiend?

never has a band rocked my face off harder

as far as swift goes, taylor told me a couple months ago that they were hoping for 1 more cd, 1/2 old school rock and 1/2 metal
