So the previous post dealt with the big 10, those are the bands that we should have wet our pants over by the end of 2012, if not I'm going to be disappointed, although at least half of them are boring (but will probably headline Brixton Academy by the end of the year- good luck to you) So the following 90 are recommedations from various formats, bands which are the new this or that
11) P MONEY
Time to me best westwood impression cos that's the world that P Money be rocking, Example things it's well good... Example's Shit, P Money is 4 real better.
12) TEETH
No, not the Les Georges Leningrad london dance popsters, but Albini produced NY/Illnois project from John Grabski, who formed the once nameless project as a reaction to a personal bout with Cancer. Teeth are loud, violent, introspective, a true emotional record which propels from Albini's abrasive production style. Album is out in February, second one to follow shortly after...
13) SHARKS
Really! Sharks! Again! I'm not listening to this again... Don't know how they got on this list.
14) THE INTERNET
More silliness from yet more fucking members of Odd Future, isn't your five minutes up yet.
15) Y NIWL
Welsh Surf rockers who released an excellent album at the top of 2011 and have been on tour with Gruff Rhys ever since... Don't know why they are on this list but far more deserving than most of the artists on the list, Nicky Wire flying the flag for Wales as usual (and good on him!)
16) CONNIE FUCKING FRANCIS
Great Name! And sure to piss people off! Their songs sound like they are recorded by someones half broken taped up walkman... so cant really tell if they are good or bad, but on the thin line between, if Divine and John Walters were still a duo and making movies... they would provide the soundtrack.
17) FEAR OF MEN
if this was 1992, Fear of Men would be the best name for a riot grrl band, but its 2012, so Fear of Men sit somewhere between Throwing Muses and Sky Larkin, which is not a bad thing, but the demos never truly mark them apart just yet, set to be determined on the release of the full-length.
18) BOS ANGELES
Bournemouth needs a surf rock band, I cant decide whether Bos Angeles is the best or worse name ever, ultimately they sound like a load of other lo-fi American surf rock bands, but since this is a genre or sub-genre I dig... Bos Angeles do it very well.
19) BROWN BROGUES
NO.... Hipster band by hipsters for hipsters that no hipsters will enjoy. maybe peaches geldolf.
20) GHOST OUTFIT
punked up boy/girl lo-fi, again half a million bands that do exactly this... but they do it very well. I don't know how many times I will write this going through this list. No offence to Ghost Outfit, your the best of this entry.
I wouldn't hold my breath for instant fame for any of the above...
