I would appreciate some recommendations of good bands or good music blogs. I really haven't gotten any new music since I moved to Korea, so anything that's been put out within the last few years would be great. I think its time I got back to expanding my music collections. What I'm looking for:
-Music that's been produced since 2003, don't have any really.
-Specifically music that isn't quite as grating as a lot of what I used to listen to in college ( pure screaming ) since the kind of music you want to listen to when you want to unwind after forcing kids to listen to your big mouth all day is different than the kind of music you want after being forced to listen to other people talk at you all day.
-Something relatively mellow and lowkey in a vaguely-Fugazi. I've been listening to an insane amount of Fugazi recently, they're great for post-grading headaches.
-Relatively melodic hardcore punk, lots of shouting is fine just not constant screaming. AFI, Thought Riot, Thrice, Thursday (only emoish band I can stand) and one I've been listening to recently called Dead Poetic are all good stuff.
-I don't have enough Metal. Have been enjoying Iced Earth recently.
-No goddam pop, pop is evil.
-No folk, emo or other annoyingly-sentimental garbage.
-Non-English music that isn't strictly derivative of American/English music. I specifically need to expand my Rai and Bhangra collections, but anything original or interesting would be welcome.
-Entertainingly wierd music like, say, The Cramps or Captain Beefheart.
-Pretty much anything interesting/different/non-pop.
