R+L New Band Listener Thread - 2014 Edition

Good shout with Dead Sons, they sound great

How many people on here like Twenty One Pilots? They played last year, and don't know how big a crowd they they got, but they've sold out the Manchester Academy for their upcoming tour.

Manchester Academy 3, which is a very small room I think.

I fucking hate Twenty One Pilots

Fair enough it's pretty small, but i'd never heard any of my friends mention them or anything

I went to see them. The crowd was alright for a mid afternoon slot, full to the two tent poles at leeds in the fr tent and a few behind that sporadically. Filled up the longer the set went on.

Their performance was excellent though. Absolutely tons of entry and easily one of the best acts of the weekend. Really won all of the crowd over and just about every one in there was into it clapping jumping bouncing, holding the singer up during all at the request of the band.

If only more acts would put as much energy into performances instead of going through the motions.

I actually do like Twenty One Pilots. I didn't at first. But it changed after I saw them live.

[Tobieski]

Jungle are not dogshit. They're great.

Boring minimalistic dance music, it really doesn't appeal to me.

[truthpigeon]

Fair enough. How about Rad Fru? In a similar vein to Royal Blood. This tune's killer. could imagine them on FR stage.

Public Access TV sound decent. Quite Strokes-y. https://soundcloud.com/publicaccesstv/monaco

[dentalplan]

I'm looking forward to the FR announcement more than any other now.

Same, 2014 looks like it could be a great year for new music

[the wonderwhy]

The FR was the best stage last year on paper so yeah I'm looking forward to it as well

Band from Birmingham called Youth Man; for fans of erratic, Savages-style punk:

Anyone notice how much Radio One are pushing Saint Raymond recently... He is in session with Zane Lowe right now but he has done loads in the last few mounths. i think he is going to get a decent slot at R&L/ V and Glasto this year...

[kemosabe]

BTW Saint Raymond has just confirmed he is playing multiple festivals this summer

[giantwagon]

There was discussion on The Lineup 2014 thread the other day about Royal Blood only releasing 3 songs, so I thought I'd put this on here....Obviously not a studio recording but not bad quality for a camera phone. Great track though. It's called Loose Change.

Very nice; cannot wait to see them again

[dentalplan]

I recall some people were on about Jamie Lenman earlier in the thread. He's doing a free gig in Guildford as part of Independent Venue Week at the end of the month if anybody's interested. Link for tickets here.

[rawaudioinput]

Only acoustic sadly; still need to see him, despite having bought tickets for his Brighton gig and winning a pair of tickets for his London show I was unable to make either

He's playing Takedown Festival at Soton Uni but it's the day I see CHVRCHES at the Forum

Found another cool band, it's like Tribes meets Black Sabbath:

This is really good.

Can hear the Tribes similarity too. I miss Tribes.

[Gucci Piggy]

All I'm seeing on that page is gravy.

Just heard Boy & Bear for the first time - new album Harlequin Dream just out this week. I'm liking their song 'Southern Sun', thought I'd share

Didn't think much of The Orwells at first, then I saw this performance on Letterman:

If people are going to listen to JL.

Then people should just listen to Reuben.

Then we should start a petition to get them back together and headline the rock stage opposite Arctic Monkeys.

Fucking hell that was awesome. That song is one of their weakest and it looked awkward as hell when they played it on Jools but that was hilarious.

Shites for not doing another song though. At least Letterman and his mate seemed to dig it pretty hard.
