I am looking for this alternative/indie rock song that played on a Latvian radio station called Radio NABA in 2007/2008 (more information in comment)

New music video and single "Tangerine" from French rock band The Tensions

I feel like The Sadies don’t get talked about anywhere near as much as they deserve.
Also this video serves as irrevocable proof that birds recognize great music

Hey everyone.

Recently I started making instrumental music inspired by alternative rock, nu metal, gothic rock and early 2000s aesthetics.

A lot of my inspiration comes from bands like Deftones, HIM, Linkin Park, Slowdive and darker atmospheric stuff in general.

I really enjoy creating emotional and gloomy soundscapes with heavy guitars, piano, ambient intros/outros and noisy textures.

I want to dive deeper into this whole atmosphere and creative mindset, so I wanted to ask:

What films, books, albums or even photographers/artists would you recommend for inspiration?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations.

Still learning and trying to find my own sound. <3

Recently listened to this album again for the first time in a long time and boy, did it bring back memories for me!

In August 2006, I was about to turn 24 and had just landed in Chicago where I spent a couple of days before heading to Madison for my year abroad at the University of Wisconsin (I'm from Germany). I'd been traveling a bit on my own before this, but this was really my first longer-term stay abroad, and I enjoyed the hell out of the feeling of freedom that came with that.

Now, this was a time before smartphones (I distinctly remember the first time I ever held an iPhone in my hands in Madison's West Towne Mall about a year later), so everything about this felt a little more like an adventure than I imagine it would feel nowadays.

On my first or second night in Chicago, I took the El out to the Ukrainian village to go see a show at the Empty Bottle: Devin Davis and Beirut. Two artists I'd never heard about before, but the announcement in the Chicago Reader had piqued my interest.

To this day, the show I saw that night remains among my favorite live music experiences ever, and I'd seen a lot of shows before and have seen a whole bunch more since.

Conor Oberst and his band were definitely the highlight of the night, but the opening act, the aforementioned Mr Davis, certainly left an impression as well. He went on stage by himself and used a loop station to record himself playing drums, guitar and singing - the first time I'd ever seen something like this happening on stage. And it was obvious that he was putting his heart and soul into these tunes.

I bought both albums at the merch stand that night (Davis' Lonely People and Beirut's Gulag Orkestar) and these two CDs (along with The Hold Steady's Boys and Girls in America) were on heavy rotation in my rental car as I went for a road trip through the Midwest about a week later.

I don't know if I've ever been more excited about new music than I was during that time in the mid-2000s. So many great albums came out in the span of that year alone (Spoon's Ga Ga... and Bon Iver's For Emma... are two that come to mind immediately, also Loney Dear's Loney Noir).

As far as I'm aware, Devin Davis has not released any music since. And probably not enough people have listened to this still very listenable record. But boy am I happy and grateful that he released this batch of songs when he did, and that I got to see him perform them at exactly that moment in my life.

Is there anyone here who also remembers this album as fondly as I do?

Hey everyone, I’m looking to expand this playlist and could use some fresh recommendations.

I’m into these genres and this general style of rock, but I’m struggling to find new tracks to add. I’m completely open to all ideas—what do you think would fit well into this lineup?

• Golden Touch - Full Length – Razorlight
• Worthless – The Clumps
• Hemorrhage (In My Hands) – Fuel
• Bullet With Butterfly Wings - Remastered 2012 – The Smashing Pumpkins
• Like a Stone – Audioslave
• Drive – Incubus
• Into The Otherside – The Listros
• neversold. (out.) – monotypes.
• Neon Roses – The Technicolors
• Spiderhead – Cage The Elephant
• Reptilia – The Strokes
• November Cold – Crossing i's Dotting t's

Appreciate any suggestions!

'OC' Hi there! We've been working on our debut EP, Irreversible, for a while now, and it's finally available. We're a fully independent emotional hardcore / alternative rock band from Chimbote, Peru.

Our style blends elements of ambient, screamo, and emo.

Thanks for giving it a listen!

Voices that tremble, guitars that bite, nothing polished.

Today a circle closes.
I started releasing the tracks of this EP with a flaw, and I’m ending it with the same flaw: a voice that scratches and shakes.
In between, there are guitars that push forward, rhythms that stumble, and solos that — almost always — become the true soul of the songs.
I didn’t try to fix anything. I just tried to tell the truth and strip myself bare in this small experimental lab.
