[Viking]

Quite enjoying this at the moment:



"Diamond Days" by Bento which is the latest project of (former?) Silverchair drummer Ben Gillies

[Beardman]

I quite like that Bento song, I am not sure if he is still a member of silverchair or not... I get the feeling I heard somewhere he wasn't

[Viking]

Yeah, I think the 'chair have gone on one of these "indefinate hiatus's", which usually means "the rest of the band don't understand where I am going with this so I'll go solo untill I see sense and realise it's not really working out and that big tax bill is looming so best get then band back together for some "come back" gigs!"

My band has been on "indefinate hiatus" since 2001, strangely we're yet to have any money spinning offers to get back together......hmmmmm

[Beardman]

This is definitely my song of the week:

Strapping Young Lad:

Unfortunately this was recorded before Devin went sly!

What kind of music did you play?

[Viking]

Music would be a bit of an exaggeration!! 

We just were a no gimmicks straight up guitar rock band really, we all grew up listening to bands like Nirvana, The Pixies, Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Silverchair etc.... so I guess we were probably edging towards "grunge", we all had the long hair too!!

We were destined to fail, we went through a few different line ups eventually getting the singer/guitarists brother in on lead guitar and my brother in on bass, so we had 4 members from 2 sets of parents which guarenteed it just ended up as one big arguement, especially after I.......erm......borrowed the singers girlfriend for the night!!! 

[Paul the Headblader]

for me it's emimen- no love

[Sir Harry]

for me it's emimen- no love

Love the song.....though I'm just now getting to the point where I can tolerate both Eminem and Lil Wayne. Is it just me or do people ALWAYS have to sample previously recorded songs to make a new song today? FWIW this particular song samples Haddaway's  "What is love".

[Slyfive]

Gets to me too SSH, why not write your own music.

[Slyfive]

That being said, I LOVE De La Soul, and most old school hip hop for that matter, and they knew how to sample tastefully and with skill. I know hip hop seem to be a bit out of my usual genres, but what can I say, I feel it, as long as it's good music.

[Mikekoz13]

Again for me.... Kid Rock. I can't believe I just started listening to him in the last year. I'm not a fan of his older , more hip hop style stuff but I LOVE so many of his songs.

Today it's "Born Free"

[Beardman]

Reviving an epic thread for epic reasons! haha

Not sure how many of you guys have heard of this band, but they've recently (about a month or so ago) made their way to Aussie radio, and I have fallen in love with this band, they are a folk rock group from Iceland called Of Monsters and Men. They are a truly awesome band, and even though I'm a metalhead, this track is my song of the week:



This is their single (also an amazing song), Little Talks:



Definitely a band you guys need to hear, I'll be scrapping pennies to go see them play when they tour Australia, not much of a bigger endorsement then that from me!

[Tyler]

I love it!  AAAANNNNNDDDDDD it turns out they are playing just up the road in SF in a couple of days at a very cool venue - Bimbo's 365 club.  I'm going to have to see if I can pull off making the show.

Thanks for spreading the word about them!
