Round 5 theme:

THE YOUNG GUNS
One of my gripes with modern music is that even when I find some band I like, the members are at least on their thirties. I have hard time finding good music people my age are making. Show me I don't belong into a lost generation. Send me something by people born in 1990 or later (if it's band a member or two may be older).

Note: I know this theme might be a little more difficult than the previous ones, because information is not always available. Of course you don't have to go searching for birth certificates, but if you send me a bunch of dudes with greying beards I'll get suspicious.

Deadline May 24th 10 a.m. U.S. Eastern/3 p.m. Greenwich time

we'll both agree that you're wrong and move on

i have a band i want to send but i'm having a hell of a time identifying the band members' ages
nvm, found an article from 2011 that puts them all in their mid 20's so that's a big no-go

Crow · « **Reply #387 on:** May 21, 2019, 12:58:02 AM »

i think the real difficulty of this theme is going to be finding artists who i can actually find info about the ages of, lol
edit: looked into a half dozen potential candidates so far. only able to find band member info for the first one i looked into, which wasn't eligible

this round's gonna be interesting and/or impossible

That's what I thought of and if it's too hard I can amend it a little.

Even if there's no years of birth available, I guess you can get a rough idea from year of formation/debut album, promo pictures, whether the band members have been in other bands before etc.

Crow · « **Reply #389 on:** May 21, 2019, 01:15:25 AM »

how about bands who sound young even if they aren't necessarily, like, still in their 20's

At least I agree that Battle Creek is a better sing.

Riding high! Kickass.

This will be an interesting theme. I have an Avantasia concert tonight so I'll send my song tomorrow.

MoraWintersoul · « **Reply #392 on:** May 21, 2019, 07:28:09 AM »

I think I know exactly what to send aaaaahhhh

Stadler · « **Reply #393 on:** May 21, 2019, 10:58:55 AM »

I sent the Rolling Stones.

Train of Naught · « **Reply #394 on:** May 21, 2019, 01:37:10 PM »

That's better than I expected.

Yeah I guess you won't like Cult of Luna then, the Julie Christmas feature was a one-off I'm pretty sure. There's a pretty cool band called Khoma which is more like a prog version of Cult of Luna with clean vocals, I'm personally not super into that big contrast of a fairly high pitched prog vocalist with super punchy sludge instrumentation though..

Sent Greta Van Fleet

The Walrus · « **Reply #395 on:** May 21, 2019, 01:49:10 PM »

Sent what is probably the youngest artist in this whole roulette.

8 points: TAC
Aeolias – Odysseus

Great drum sounds and a lovely driving beat. The vocals feel maybe slightly too operatic for my tastes.

Yeah, so apparently these guys are super unknown. I can’t really think a reason for that based on this song. Production is very good. The drummer is a real powerhouse and the build-up at the beginning is seriously cool. I’m not the biggest fan of the vocals, it almost feels like at points she’s singing an unrelated song. But she has a cool menacing tone. It’s an interesting nine-minute journey. An odyssey if you will.

at the bolded part. I agree, and yes it is menacing.

This is one of the shortest songs on the album actually. It's a great album and I really enjoy it. Kind of out there for sure.

So I had to truck my daughter and six of her friends yesterday and today, and both days a Billie Eyelash song came on, and the whole car went nuts, but I was like, "Wha?" I didn't get it. Not to say it's bad, I just didn't get it.

Was one of them ocean eyes? The stuff on her new debut album is dark and strange and uncomfortable at times. ocean eyes is beautiful

Crow · « **Reply #416 on:** May 22, 2019, 02:16:48 PM »

She currently has a top 5 hit in the US so I'd say she's pretty popular with the kids atm

Also I'd place a good bet on the two songs being bad guy and bury a friend

I sort of expected that you'd be sending Billie.

I guess that's my mistake, yes it is.

I read it as Pertubator the whole time.
