What are you currently listening to?

Last few days i have gotten sucked into the rabbit hole that is Japanese alt rock/indie/metal. Have some really good bands, a lot of them seem to be all female combos as well.
Quite like this, got a bit of a Faith No More vibe about it also it's cute Asian girls in maid outfits so what can go wrong!!

Fair enough! If I stopped listening to stuff where the crowd annoyed me I'd probably listen to nowt but classical lol

Yes, I'm aware it has been slightly petty of me. I'll listen to this!

No mate, I totally get it, it was more about how petty I am, everyone annoys me at every gig!

Been enjoying a bit of pop-punk recently - Think Parker NSNO might enjoy this, reminds me of RIOT era Paramore

No relation to Till I assume?

It's alright that, I think her vocals are produced a bit weirdly though. I feel her vocal on the chorus should sound fuller. Hooky though.

Ha - No relation to Till but I think she is of German background

I think she used to be a pop singer - but has recently branched into rock stuff.

Her E.P 'Paranoia' is a decent little listen

I think you can tell she's not from the same background as Hayley with the way she sings, her vowels don't seem that open compared to Hayley. Which is a more emo/pop punk way of singing.

Then again, Aimee Interrupter from The Interrupters was from a pop background and she's brilliant.

I think she would benefit from the guitars having a bit more edge, the vocals would pop a lot more if everything wasn't so nice. It's alright though.

Also it isn't fair to compare anyone to Hayley Williams like.

Completely agree - Most underrated singer in rock

@Parker NSNO @navidson , this is all I’ve heard with Hayley Williams but you’ve given me something to do today, digging out some more of her stuff to listen to.

If you haven't listened to Paramore, listen to the album Brand New Eyes, Hayleys an absolute powerhouse on it and the drummer absolutely loves a snare hit.

Simply terrific. Another band from my college town, along with Hum, Poster Children, Braid, Castor, C-Clamp, and many other mid-90s bands that deserve more attention.

Hum's album last year was great.

I heard Mike Kinsella’s solo stuff as Owen first, can’t remember how. He’s got gigs scheduled over here in April which I can’t see happening but I’ll go somewhere when they’re sorted.
