[Album of the Day] Locarno - Sms Love

Locarno is a band that sounds like Depeche Mode. They play a nice mix of synth-pop and new-wave, in a pure 80's style.

Confusion Is Next - The Generation Of This Order [Album of the day]

Confusion Is Next is a band that play an original mixture of hardcore, post-grunge, noise and punk.

The monicker is clearly inspired by Sonic Youth's first album. But their music sounds more like Husker Du, and Nirvana most psychedelic moments.

In this album we find even some songs that recall some new-metal (Tool, System of a down) moods.

I suggest this band to all those people that love stoner-like distorted guitars, breaked of sometimes by calm, jazzy inserts that recall Sonic Youth's late productions.

2009.11.13 - Anonymous suggests that in some moments the singer sounds like Bush's.

unanoraked in vladivostok - unanoraked in vladivostok

Unanoraked in Vladivostok play a minimal, ambient music made of guitar and bass drones, dark moods and sudden changes from low, acoustic to high, electric tones.

They are similar, for example, to Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

Fluydo - 7 Full Moon - 06 [Song of the day]

7 Full Moon - 06 is a trip-hop psychedelic song by Fluydo.

They used to release one new track every full moon. This song sounds like Portishead, and some of the less ermetic moments of Tricky's production.

Circa Vitae - Shine [Song of the day]

Shine is a post-grunge song by Circa Vitae.

It is really tricky to define the genre it belongs to. IMHO it sounds like Smashing Pumpkins' most epic moments (like Thru the eyes of ruby) mixed in some passages with a sort of brit indie-rock (like late Smashing Pumpkins themselves, e.g. The Everlasting Gaze). Furthermore, given that My Bloody Valentine were one of the main inspirations for Corgan's band, some shoegaze echoes in the chorus could be heard.

Le Suicides is a song by Zero.

It is a hard indie-rock power ballad.
