The Not Arcade Fires.
Alabama Shakes is more talented than both of those bands combined. Go see them next year:)Quote:

This is long form for saying that I don't agree with your opinion at all.
No Ohio boy. Go listen to both of their earlier materials. You'll see what I'm talking about.Quote:

Every band sounds like every other band, except that one band who did it first. They're completely different from every one else.
Please tell me you're joking.Quote:

Your proximity to large media outlets have destroyed your ability to discern bad from good.
so according to this RHCP wont be touring past March of 2013, like a previously stated..... (So and so's interview where he stated they would be touring "up to" April, not "through" April.Quote:

No artist did that before Arcade Fire. No artist at all. Also, the Decemberists were the first band to ever use an accordion. Good to know.
qUICK BUMBLEBEE, DO A GOOGLE SEARCH ON THE FIRST BAND TO USE AN ACCORDION
AND LADY AND MAN HARMONIZING
clearly weird al yankovic invented the accordion
Does n e 1 know who's playing Coachella this year?
This is really the only reasonable approach.Quote:

None of those bands can match the artistic merit of The Lumineers. It was amazing when they had the vision to add "Ho" to their "Hey". The world needs more Hos. They should just change their name to The Luminaries already. Sheer brilliance.Quote:

Actually I understand what he's trying to say. Folk/indie is a thing now, maaaaaaan. Give it a few more years and it'll be out of your hair.
So what day is Culture Club gonna play?
I always thought OM&M sounded like Stars. Shouldn't the Doves be somewhere on your Snow Patrol --> Radiohead continuum?Quote:

No one actually cares and I don't need to listen to more than one song. Well no one who has any real discerning or good taste in music. Lemmings, know nothings etc will flock to wherever they're playing next! Could this band be any more UNORIGINAL? A dash of Edward Sharpe, a pinch of Mumford and more than a spoonful of Arcade Fire. Perfect sound a like crap for the sheeple of today...Quote:

ps Frankly I don't care if you listen to them or not. Just making my point!
Here I found a great review from NY Times...
http://www.nytimes.com/2012/04/09/ar...ster-hall.htmlQuote:
Iceland could be a British isle or a Canadian province for Of Monsters and Men, the Icelandic band that headlined Webster Hall on Friday night. Of Monsters and Men connects two strains of Celtic-rooted music that spur robust, foot-stamping singalongs: the sea chantey and the arena-rock chorus, the folky and the anthemic. Its songs regularly ascend from guitar-strumming, accordion-tootling openings to brawny rock marches topped by la-las for the crowd to join, a strategy also used by Mumford & Sons, the Decemberists, Arcade Fire and, in decades past, the Scottish band Big Country.

Album: My Head Is An Animal by Of Monsters And Men (out now on Universal)
Press play if you like: Arcade Fire, The Delgados, The Decemberists, panoramic folk-pop :puke
Some background: Originally founded as a duo by songwriters Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Þórhallsson, Iceland’s Of Monsters And Men quickly expanded to a sextet as its homeland popularity grew. A polished folk-pop gem, the group’s debut, My Name Is An Animal, layers rustic folk songs with horns, strings, accordion, and dueling male-female vocals, fueling the soaring, shout-along choruses. The band channels an Arcade Fire influence most prominently on “Six Weeks”—which lifts the charging drum beat from “Wake Up”—and “Mountain Sound” (one of two new tracks for the recent U.S. release of Animal) which follows a winding synth line through a rousing chorus. The quiet slow-burn of “Love Love Love” glides with Hilmarsdóttir’s lilting vocals, while Þórhallsson leads the uplifting “Your Bones." But the male-female vocals also play well off each other. On the bouncy strummer “Sloom,” the two voices weave together to produce honeyed harmonies that buoy the arrangement.
