one block radius
Indie Rap
California

"Black Mercedes" and "Mama's Heart" put them on the map on the underground, and they've developed a pretty loyal fanbase.

marty james, z-man, and MDA are a trio that sound like a mix between Sublime, Pharcyde, Outkast, and Hall and Oates (haha).

It's really funky, catchy stuff.

a california native and former pro surfer. he released his sef-titled debut on his good friend jackson johnson's label, brushfire records. he wanted to seperate himself from jack, because they're so similar with the music and pro-surfing background. he signed with lost highway for his second album, "move by yourself".

Wow..just listened to Gimme A Break....that song is awesome..good find

actually....it gets a little long and repatative...needs some dynamics..but its a killer idea

ha, i just realized that two of the bands I mentioned (Corrosion of Conformity and Cry Of Love) shared a member (Keenan, guitar player). as a side note, the other guitarist from Cry Of Love (Audley Freed) ended up joining the Black Crowes. I also almost bought one of his old amps. It had burn marks all over the cabinet where he'd overheated it and let it catch on fire.

3/19/2007 5:34:36 PM

Leadfoot is pretty rockin, but god the singers a tool.

3/19/2007 5:36:32 PM

i would assume christina aguilera has been slept on a few times.

3/19/2007 6:00:01 PM

Take that, popular music!

3/19/2007 6:05:29 PM

I remember Leadfoot. I had a buddy that played guitar for them years ago. Like 7 or 8 years ago.

Speaking of old bands from NC. Does anyone remember a band from Charlotte called SPITE? I used to dig the shit out of em.

3/19/2007 6:06:30 PM

hey another post by that dude who always bitches because the only music he owns is an Ace of Base tape he got when he was 6.

3/19/2007 11:59:21 PM

^^ someones posts that in every single one of these threads when almost everyone in those threads is actually discussing the music. There are a good number of us who do listen to this shit.

While Alligator had some praise last year, I still think they've been slept on.

3/20/2007 11:21:01 AM

Their new album titled The Boxer comes out in a few months. Alligator was easily one of the best records of 05.

i heard spookyjon's band, the hem of his garment, is wicked sick to the gills.

3/20/2007 12:58:27 PM

Irreversible...experimental rock band in the vein of isis/pelican/giant...i happen to find this band better, though...their "age" ep is the best release i have heard from this genre and all the guys are only 20/21 years old...this band will blow up in time...a lot of themes from the movie "irreversible"

ace of base came out when i was in high school

nobody is discussing shit here - it's another great example of indie-penis music talk

someone posts this shit in every thread because you fuckers find some way to start another jackass i'm more indie than you thread at least twice a week...which is amazing because if people find out about your indie-idols, they'll become famous and ruin your ability to name drop (can it be name dropping if no one has ever heard of them?)

because were trying to give unknown artists some publicity we are saying were more indie than you. that makes sense. I guess we should only listen to well known bands, because obviously they are the only good bands out there. if you arent well known from the day you start, you must be awful.

3/21/2007 12:39:38 AM

HAY GUYZ DON'T CLICK N THE LINKS THESE BAND ARE SECRETS LOL

3/21/2007 12:41:06 AM

goalie, the wolf web is nowhere to flex your indie cock. this is an nc state message board. nobody is impressing anybody, and i strongly doubt anyone is really trying. who gives a shit if some geeky engineer or dumbfuck com student talks about a band that you haven't heard? you sound like the kind of guy who votes republican out of spite.

3/21/2007 12:44:29 AM

^^^^This is the entertainment section, correct? I believe the premise of this thread is to provide more exposure to artist that we feel did not get as much exposure as they deserved. There are quite a few bands/musicians in this thread that I have never heard of, but I will check some of them out now because of this thread.

Yeah, we don’t want people to find out about the music we listen to, so much in fact that we make threads, and provide links as well as information regarding all of this “secret” music.

If you have such an issue, or more so of an aversion to individuals listing, or informing others about music, why dignify the thread by posting in it?
