[Fallen]

Sometimes you just wanna have a new band, whether to add to your collection of music of to spice things up in your song inventory. Whichever it is, here's the place to do it. Simply post the band you wish to contribute, maybe add a little info on it (i.e. genre, what other band it may or may not be like, etc.), and write down what you find interesting! Conversation on bands is welcome! So... post! o:

A.S.M.Z.
The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band
The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band With Choir
Thee Silver Mountain Reveries
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra

In all their incarnations, these guys are the weirdest band to ever grace the planet. They defy every genre convention and sound nothing like any other band I've ever heard of. Their lyrics are so strange they're drugs within themselves. I suppose it's a bit of an acquired taste, but if you want to listen to something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, give them a try. I'd also just like to add that they're better defined as a work of audio art rather than just a band.

Cameras in the sky,
Antennas in the canyon
The lobby's full of spies."

A band that you probably haven't heard of would be: The Midnight Beast. They're an English band, the three members specializing in comedy style songs, not only having original songs such as 'Booty Call' and 'Lez Be Friends' but also doing parodies of 'Tik Tok' and 'Down'

Band: Carissa's Wierd
Genre: Indie Rock / Slowcore
Similar Artists: Early Day Miners, Malcolm Middleton, Band Of Horses, S, Grand Archives, Whitley
About Them: Formed out of the genius of Jenn Ghetto and Matt Brooke, Carissa's Wierd inhabit a very special place in the Indie Rock scene, sometimes referred to as Slowcore. As the name implies, their songs are rather slow and very emotional. The lyrics too, especially on songs like "So You Wanna Be A Superhero", it has this dark emotional side that makes you want to burst into tears, but not in a bad way, by any means. They're truly one of a kind. Sadly, they have been split up for half a decade. Since then, Jenn Ghetto has moved on to record solo under the name "S", while Matt Brooke went on to play with Band Of Horses, and later formed the band called Grand Archives.

Band: Aesthetic Perfection
Genre: Gothic Industrial
Similar Artists: Combichrist, Imperative Reaction, Orgy
About Them:
It is not a comment on society.
It is not a forum for philosophy.
It is not your new voice.
It is not a revolution.
Without form, without ego or intention,
Aesthetic Perfection is music without a cause.
Influences are combined, songs composed.
Audio is recorded, edited, arranged and mixed.
Music designed without purpose.

D : no offence, but where are you from?
TMB is like famous from where I'm from, no.1 songs on the radio etc.
They're not a garage band, they're actually really really popular.
And I'm not from England or anywhere close even.
I'd think they're not so famous in non-english speaking countries, but from what I've heard and seen, they're real popular England/America/Australia o - o.

[Vox]

The last musician I never heard of was Jay Gaunt. I heard part of his Harmonicopia album, and it was fantastic. The blues are not something I normally listen to, but this could make me change my mind.
