3 Inches of Blood - Not exactly a new band, but Ive got a feeling theyre gonna be big soon...essentially Iron Maiden type riffs mixed with screamo...plus the lead singer's first name is Cam Pipes, and pipes he has!
You gotta love Gogol Bordello. My friend schwem (himself an established "carny" and self-proclaimed gypsy) originally got me into them, and has introduced me into some quite eclectic bands since such as Vic Thrill and I'm a Robot.
And I have always had a special place in my heart for Flogging Molly. There is no better music to drink to. Ahhhhh I remember my first Flogging Molly show. They were at the Warped Tour a few years back and I got plowed over in the pit by an enormous man in a striped polo t-shirt (who somehow ninja'ed out of there cause I could not find him when I got up) and had my face stepped on. Good times 😎
Spoon is quite good, I was fortunate enough to see them on tour a year or so ago. Gimme Fiction is an outstanding disk, not one bad song on it. If you like good indie rock check out a band called "And You'll Know Us By The Trail Of Dead", another excellent band from Texas.
