Surprisingly.

And I am tired of finding about artists when they've been broken up for ten plus years.

Suggest me some music. I am into indie, punk, good emo. Twee music rocks.

Thanks. You're awesome.

Bands that are still together and ALIVE? That's a tough one..

Elliott Smith (he's actually dead tho, bummer)
Against Me! (punk at its finest, if you ask me)
Spoon
Devendra Banhart
The Mountain Goats

Those are pretty well known actually.. but maybe you haven't heard of them? =)

Get some! They are goood.

I think his girlfriend killed him. He was amazing.

Aren't they signing to a major now? Isn't that like anti-punx? =-O

Spoon

I previewed them on iTunes, but never went beyond that.

Devendra Banhart

I've never heard of her(them?).

Quote:

The Mountain Goats

Funny name.


Thanks for the suggestions!

i'm pretty sure it was suicide.

anyway,
minus the bear
wilco...if you're not into them already
the spill canvas
iron and wine
acceptance
the city on film

 

[alexs]

for good emo (i recently have been listening to a lot of acoustic songs)

the spill canvas (sunsets and car crashes)
dallas green (he has a cd out under "city and colour")

sooooo good, if you like acoustic, sappy songs.

For indie rock I think The Shins and Of Montreal seem to keep coming out with decent alblums and don't seem to be on the verge of breaking up anytime soon.

Say Anything ...is A Real Boy.

If you're into indie of any sort, you gotta get The Soft Bulletin by The Flaming Lips and The Moon and Antarctica by Modest Mouse (my favorite all-time album).

And, of course, Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol (my favorite album currently).

All three of these are complete gold from start to finish, and the bands are still around and putting out respectable works.

Against me! is awesome!

anyway
I'd recommend:
Bear Vs. Shark
The New Pornographers
The Academy Is...
The Spill Canvas
Mae
if you want something kinda weird but still awesome, The Fall of Troy

 

[Anjay]

You must get the album "Gimme Fiction" by Spoon. Took me about 3 listens to really get into it, but it's FUN!

Two knife wounds to the chest and no hesitation marks?

Anyway, thank you all for your suggestions! I've heard of most, but I've never pursued them, but now I'll be sure to!

Thanks.
