dentalplan Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I had a brainwave: we should get listening to some new bands before the announcement so it looks more appealing when the full line-up full of cheap hype bands comes out in a few months, because there were moans all round when the line-up dropped in March '13 and there were smaller bands all over the line up but they turned out to be some of the weekend's highlights for people. I've floated the 'what new bands are good?' question in the Lineup 2014 thread a couple of times because you guys seem to have your ears closer to the ground than I do, but it gets buried amongst everyone posting the same prediction, so I thought we could get to work here instead! I know these threads usually come about after the line up has been fully announced but sod it, that's too late. So like, post a band's name and an accompanying video or Soundcloud link, preferrably a band you could see popping up at R+L that have been around four or five years or less and haven't already played Main or NME, and we could listen and discuss it or whatever. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Polterghost, would probably be low FR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20egsljjMeQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Her Parents, would probably be even lower http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nBmzakyUFM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 California X, played low FR this year so I guess lower NME next year if they're around http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rUEXSLDivS4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtourette Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Yuck, have played before and are now on their second album but some may not be aware of them http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VnRrIVQMaY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hart Attack Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Tonight Alive - Female-fronted pop-punk band from Australia. Played the Kerrang tour and Slam Dunk Festival main stage this year, plus two headline tours. Released their second album, The Other Side, this year to positive reception. Seem to have a lot of hype and momentum amongst the Kerrang crowd. Could open the main stage, or go low NME or mid rock/FR stage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhdaCt2DhE0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dc6lhFWhofA Edited November 27, 2013 by Hart Attack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToffeePopcorn Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Young the giant - they are biggish in America, Not that big here, And a new album soon so I expect them somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellow_Fellow Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Well, it wouldn't be a New Band thread without the boys... DZ DEATHRAYS Aussie garage rock duo, akin to a more noisy Death From Above 1979 with a little more of a fuck it all attitude. Serious grooves, serious alcoholism, serious party music.

dentalplan Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Good work. some very good ones in here. Here goes some more: The Orwells Very likely to be at UK festivals. Getting a lot of NME coverage and were on Jools Holland a couple of weeks ago but just in case you haven't heard them yet... Speedy Ortiz The vocalist was in a female Pavement cover band before this. All I need to say. Edited November 27, 2013 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 NO CEREMONY/// take the London Grammar/XX vibes and give them a slightly heavier edge. They've supported Pixies and Foals and have Joey Santiago playing guitar on one of their album tracks. https://soundcloud.com/noceremony/no-ceremony-feelsolow Skinny Girl Diet are an all-female punk trio from London who supported Primal Scream at iTunes https://soundcloud.com/skinnygirldietband/sets/demo-653 Catfish and the Bottlemen played in a relatively low slot this year but should be back mid NME/high FR next year. They've had a HROTW from Zane Lowe and have been heralded as 'the new Feeder' https://soundcloud.com/catfishandthebottlemen/rango Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm on my mobile so I'll do this properly when to get home. I suggest Giants Baby Godzilla Arcane Roots Hacktivist letlive. (I know these aren't the smallest band but people needs to check them out if you haven't already) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDAD Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) I can't work out how to paste properly but Natives maybe low NME or FR. Some more cheese for the lineup. I've done it!!! Edited November 27, 2013 by PDAD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Some really good shouts here. First time hearing Polterghost and they were really cool, Skinny Girl Diet and NO CEREMONY are cool too. I'd heard and already love DZ Deathrays, California X and Yuck so that's a +1 from me. I hope the rest of you are listening to these! I'll repost these cos it cut off my post. Royal Blood We've been declaring our love for these for a couple of months in the Lineup 2014 thread but anyway, they're playing in front of 100,000 Arctic Monkeys fans in May and they're gonna be one of those bands that fill out the FR. The Wytches Droning stoner rock in 2013? Yep, you better believe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonodillieono Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Royal Blood will be The 1975 of next year. Thumpers as well might get a decent following off this songhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y95cEtVM8Ao edit: I seem to have completely forgotten how to insert videos...

evilduck Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Can't remember how high they were in the FR, but Temples finally have their album coming out next year so I imagine they will return with a higher slot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOAD Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 I'm on my mobile so I'll do this properly when to get home. I suggest Giants Baby Godzilla Arcane Roots Hacktivist letlive. (I know these aren't the smallest band but people needs to check them out if you haven't already) Some of the best bands around right now. Arcane Roots album is my fave of the year. Not seen Giants live but the other four are four of the best live bands you could ever see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAD Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYdaMp500yk Think a few people have heard Exit International and they did BBC introducing a while back but they've released their second album and it's incredible. Would be a shame if they didn't play a few big fests next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the wonderwhy Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 The Wytches Droning stoner rock in 2013? Yep, you better believe it My take on The Wythces: The Brighton based band, who seemingly already had a strong fan base in the room, quickly won over the crowd as they crashed through a dark set full of stinging guitar and murky bass, sounding like a psychedelic lovechild of The White Stripes and Bossanova-era Pixies, or ‘surf-doom’ as they put it themselves.

I think there's much more stoner rock in there than blues rock. But let's not fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
