Hoobustank

This band is from San Diego in California. I think they sound a lot like Incubus. They sure have a lot in common. Being from California being one, they tour together, similar lyrics, the lead singers sound startling close...... hm. They both refer to the audience as "guys" ex. "this was fun, thanks you guys"

Anyway, enough about conspiracies. They're great. If you download mp3s, I recommend that you download "Crawling in the Dark" "Earthsick" I have all their music and there's not one song that I've encountered that isn't good.

Hoobustank - Earthsick

Why do guys with amazing singing voices tend to be lanky and fragile looking? no point here if you're wondering.. just an observation

Incubus

This is probably my favorite band. Every album that they have come out with has had different style which has led me getting into a lot of other types of music. They have no commitment to any type of music, so their music is always fresh and different. Every album they have is awesome, so you can't go wrong getting their stuff.

God Lives Underwater

I would classify these guys as Industrial Rock except they are more mellow than other bands from their genre, and yes, they rock ass. :)

songs to download: All Wrong, From Your Mouth, Rearrange, Flies on the Windscreen

This band has a very original sound. Their music hits pretty hard and is quite melodic in areas. If you like Tool, Mudvayne, etc, I would really recommend this. They rule.

Man, this guy is awesome. I kept thinking he was cool even after I found out that he's a middle-aged fat white guy, but whatever. He mainly plays around with prerecorded sounds and creatively mixes them into songs. Sounds a little cheesey from here, but you have to hear it... Amazing

Download: Organ Donor, Number Song, Midnight in a Perfect World

Hooverphonic

This is a Belgian trio and sometimes quartet. They are very popular and played a lot in parts of Europe. They are sort of like trance. They call it Trip-Hop. They sometimes tour with Massive Attack.

Massive Attack

I never get tired of listening to this band. If you're listening to them, make sure your speakers can accomodate for highs and lows, and everything in between. They are trance, I think. Check them out

Nice picture, huh? She has another one of her hugging herself, but I thought that would be overdoing it and breaking my trend of having 2 pictures per band.

She is probably the most peculiar woman I've ever seen. You can sort of think of her as the female equivalent to Depeche Mode. She has a very soft, girly, and beautiful voice which can quickly turn into something much more rancid. I like her though.
