How discovered: A friend of mine knows the singer and someone else in the band, and his roommate used to do their website.
Sounds like: Jangly 60's influenced indie pop. Brian Wilson, R.E.M., The Byrds
Song I defy you not to like: Something Strange Happens, Take Me Over
Comments: I heard one of their songs at Starbucks, so I guess they are getting some exposure.

Isn't the topic "bands that nobody's heard of?" You picked one of the most popular bands on this fucking board.

Artist: Merlin

How discovered: my brother had the album 'merlin's arcade' before he traded it to me for something else.

Sound like: indie rock/pop/some humour

song that I defy you to not like: the playboy interview, redneck town

other comments: on Channel 3 records...he's from Montreal, if i'm not mistaken?...a little goofy in some songs, about fairly serious subjects. Merlin's Arcade is such a fun, catchy record.

Well sorry I've only met one person who knew who they were (consequences of living in hickville Alberta) But it makes me happy to know other people know about them http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif

Band: Kill Hannah

How discovered: They're not discovered yet, they're a local Chicago band that plays at the Metro about once a month. Carson Daly likes em, and showed up at a show they held at some abandoned warehouse in the middle of nowhere, so they might be big soon..

Sound like: Smashing pumpkins, radiohead, but poppier

song that I defy you to not like: I wanna be a Kennedy, all that he wants, crybaby

other comments: The guys are so nice, and being hot is of course a nice added bonus. They're gonna be huge, pumpkins huge, i guarantee it(even billy likes them). . .if they don't kill themselves first.

But they're great. www.killhannah.com I love those guys, and Greg the bassist thinks I'm a "crazy girlie", lol. . .he's the one that likes coyote ugly.

I dig placebo. I have 99.999% (thru downloading) of everything they have ever released. I even saw them at a tiny concert in SF. They are apparently extremely popular in Europe.

Frogpond

Might I add The Anniversary, Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys, Rock Over London, and obviously...

THE GADJITS

to this list? Ryan, you threw me off at first because I was like, WTF?! Who all knows these bands from KC? Then I looked at your username. D'oh!

The Casket Lottery is excellent, and I adore Ultimate Fakebook. Most of those other bands are now-defunct though (i.e. The Glitter Kicks, Reflector, Frogpond) and I didn't *think* that Flick, Q, or Paw was still together.

For those clueless out there, the Kansas City music scene rocks the house. Like, at very many levels. It's such a mixing pot of old-school blues and jazz, new-school rock and roll, and a lot of this silly emo-esque stuff that's coming out these darned days (i.e. The Anniversary, The Get Up Kids).. I definitely recommend browsing around on

http://www.thezone.org/

and being informed. That's one thing I think Kansas City has that's great... the music scene.

done raving,

I love Kill Hannah.
Billy had help them a lot. He said that they are the future of chicago rock. And maybe he can produce some tracks for them.

The French Kicks

http://www.frenchkicks.com

NYC. Complex musical ideas wrapped around simple guitar riffs in short succint compositions.

Good, not great like their contemporaries, The Strokes. Lots of potential to be found.

haha... I just reread my post and what I meant was that both bands are good, neither are great, but both have the potential to be great.

I just picked up the Modern Age EP and the level of growth from that to Is This It? is astounding so I can only hope that the Kicks live up to the potential I'm hearing on their early recordings and follow suit down this path of success.
