The Seeker .....the Suggestor ...the Recommender

I seek music ..I suggest music, rather I recommend it ...and I love music ....
So my search led me to 3 new groups ...which I now recommend ...

Rocco DeLuca and the Burden - I Trust you to Kill me
Rocco DeLuca and the Burden are a four-piece American alternative and non-conformist rock and roll band from California who formed in late 2005 (Source: Wiki)

My take - Alternative, Country Rock, an experimental band .....with great vocals,lyrics and wonderful orchestration ...

Blacklab - Heard on the Shield season 6 Promo
Got hooked onto their songs thanks to the new Shield season 6 promo that airs on the box these days - it goes by the name of 'This Night' .

Alternative, modern Grunge rock - these folks sound like a lot of other bands you might heard in the past ...but still are different in the sense that they don't go too loud or too nonsensical in their lyrics. The bass is predominant in their music and so is the metal .....gud one this and a grouo to watch out for ...

Blue October - Foiled
Heard them on the VH1 countdown over the weekend ..they were in the top 10 ...a track called ..'Into the Ocean' ...heard couple of other songs ..and ended up buying tickets for their concert at the Filmore on Apr 1st. Then also went and got their most recent album ...'Foiled' ...

Alternative ..yet again, Modern Rock...almost a Brit Rock feel to these folks ....
The thing about this group is that they sound too uncoventional ....almost Popish at times ...but yet they Rock ....use the violin a lot and percussion too .....


On a Sidenote
For a brief period of time, I had almost lost faith in new music and I had begun to think that Hip-hop and punk have taken over ......
With a rare Coldplay album once in 3 years or a RHCP once in 2 years - A R Rahman and the old classic stuff like Zepplin or CCR or Doors being the only respite for my ears ....but over the past few weeks, I have started believing that there is hope ....there is hope for Rock and there is hope for me .....

-A
p.s. - Rahman still towers way abve everyone else though :-)
