Post forgotten buzz bands
>>65414830
I still like that album a lot.
The 2000's are truly a graveyard of buzz bands.
soon
>>65414947
I like this one too.
I really, really thought Arctic Monkeys would go away after a few mediocre followups. Despite the fact that they've somehow managed to cling onto the buzz to this day, I'm posting them here because their whole aura is virtually identical to all the other bands in this thread, and I have no idea why they're still around.
>>65415042
The reason they got big is because they were the buzz band that actually stood out, I think they definitely sounded the same as everyone else though.
>>65415042
They survived, I give them credit for that.
>>65414733
Still think that Stellastarr* should have fared better.
>>65415010
oh god damnit I think i've lost it
oh god god damnit, I think i've lost you
>>65415042
not only are the arctics still around, they're like one of the biggest rock bands in the world, second only to foo fighters. huge audiences in europe and south america
good on them, turner's obv a talented guy
>>65415067
This, holy shit.
Never seen a band's relevance disappear so fast.
>the whole 2000's NYC scene
>>65414552
these guys were p good, if perhaps a bit too clever for their own good
>>65414867
and this band is still around putting out solid (for a mid-'00s indie rock buzzband) records
who's gonna post scouting for girls and the ordinary boys
>>65415042
Arctic Monkeys were pretty talented desu, at least when it comes to their first two albums
you are now 1) hearing the riff for chelsea dagger and 2) manually breathing
>>65415257
DELETE THIS
>>65415266
DOO DOO DOO
DOO DOO DOO
DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOOT
We can do this all day, wew
How bout that dance-punk?
this was the absolute worst
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayuooyWPEUc
>>65415322
how much time do you got?
>>65415322
klaxons are ok in my book, if only for the fact that they wrote a love song about the villain in tomb raider 1
>>65415322
late of the pier were better in every aspect than this meme edgy band.
>how you want your music?
>just interpol my shit up, famalamafam
>>65415355
JOHN WAS A SCIENTIST
'E WAS HOOKED ON LSD
>>65414552
>christgau says art brut's second record is the worst album ever
>gives an A- to their third one
wew lad
>>65414821
I really liked this band, and I liked even more that the lead singer got punched in the face by Jack White
>>65415439
Love that band, I really hope they don't get forgotten any more than they are now.
>>65414896
EYE AM ALEYEVE AND AMPLIFEYED
>>65415488
Agreed, Doves should have gotten huge.
>>65415322
still love the singles and some odd others off their first two
>>65415366
thx for the tip
I have an old spin magazine in my closet where art brut attend an american baseball game.
ISNT IS SO LE IRONIC XDDDD
>>65415514
They had great stuff, and then made an album with the most generic cover I've seen
>>65415514
Melophobia is a solid album.
>>65415514
Cage the Elephant are still big though
Rooooose-abiiilityyyyy. There is no rosebility
Anyone remember them?
>>65415322
Damn this was my jam during some high school year, then I totally forgot them, thanks anon
>>65415156
literally their second album came out yesterday
>>65415548
i'd love to read this, it sounds deliciously insufferable
you now remember the thrills
>>65415162
I still frequently listen to this
it's a shame they completely ditched this style
>>65415670
YOOOO
>>65415663
good album cover tbqh
>sh-sh-shake, sh-sh-sh-shakin
from when indie went full corporate sell out
Surprised this hasn't been posted yet
>>65415721
Fuuuuuuckkkk I loved When Did Your Heart Go Missing
>>65415613
And no one cared.
>>65415755
wew, nice pick
>>65415713
I miss Washed Out so much.
>>65415721
They were in an episode of The OC, fuck that brings me back
I remember when these guys were heralded as the second coming of ian curtis
does this count
>>65415514
I saw these guys support foals a couple years back and they tore the roof off the place
>>65415816
Kind've, Chaz still has a decent career imo
>>65415042
arctic monkies never felt like an indie band to me, they have more of like a legit radio rock band like the foo fighters or nirvana, thats why they have been able to establish themselves instead of fading into nothing.
All the indie bands posted here are like overly pretentious one album wonders
All these forgotten bands makes this scene from the 'Scratched' documentary more poignant.

this counts

I miss them, made indie so fun for a few months
>>65415755
holy shit the '00s were fucking dire
>>65415516
>tfw this album is already over a decade old
>no ones posted Phoenix yet
Ouch
TFW when they will NEVER have a good album AGAIN
>>65415984
I'm going to disagree with this just because I think he has the potential to be GOAT, he's still very young. Noose of Jah City also still bumps
>>65415979
HERE WE COOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMEE
>>65416007
as long as kids still making fanvideos of jon hughes movies to their music, they'll be fine
>>65415982
i still remeebr that one song i saw on mtv2 when they still played music and i were a young lad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvFHY_HBvto
Who is going to be posted in a thread like this in about 2-3 years from now? My money is on:
Mac DeMarco
DIIV
Parquet Courts
CHVRCHES
FIDLAR
>>65416019
Truth.
>>65416023
I really liked the Rock Bottom EP, but his actual 2nd album was just really hit and miss. Like he just starts yelling about you being a FOCKIN COONT. He has made anything in what feels like ages
:^)
The greatest buzz band album of all-time.
jesus christ, never realized how many forgotten bands there were in the 2000's
>>65416079
Oh jesus
They were so good
>>65416101
forgot the pic to accompany my lol
also this thread is amazing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF__UqnQf7I
>this is almost 10 years old
>>65416122
Jerk It Out is the most 2000s song ever recorded
>no one posted this piece of trash
Really guys?
>>65416104
gotta give them props for still committing to their aesthetic through all these years
>>65416079
great album, shame that LUH. fucking sucks compared to them
>>65414919
awwww dude no
you now remember glasvegas
this is quite eye opening, i thought most of you were just posting albums that were obscure in the first place but nope literally all of this was popular at some point
yeah yeah yeaaahhhhhh
>>65415439
black and white town was good desu.
At least they had 2 solid albums.
>>65415630
I'm hearing bang bang, you're dead in my head r
that nostalgia mang.
>>65414821
C'mon, c'mon...
>>65416255
Don't forget Airbourne
>>65416049
i think parquet courts have a good chance to crossover into dadrock territory
demarco might become some andrew wk celebrity type guy
the others, definitely
as a band you got to do one of three things to survive, have hardcore retarded fans that spam your shitty music everywhere nonstop forever (deathgrips), sell out, make shitty pop rock for the radio and braindeads, fuck even bowie sold out in the 80's after making a bunch of 2deep4u ambient music, or have a good sense of direction and evolve with the times, maybe like 5 years from now jazz punk gets big for no raisn, where will that leave divv or carseatheadrest, in their indie pile of oblivion.
I feel like none of these people had any plans, or maybe they just got fucked over by their labels, who knows.
All the greatst musicians are maniacs who want to conquer the world .
>>65416104
WENT ON STRIKE WHEN THE UNION SAID I SHOULD
>>65416304
Mac has put out so much music, like he consistently puts out, and that keeps him relevant. Same with P Courts
The queen of landfill Indie.
>>65416255
this was fucking massive in australia for like three years consistently straight and now you'd be lucky to hear them in a car commercial once every year
>>65416314
I was just about to post them
har vi en svensk i tråden?
>>65416314
Just about to post this. Wew, what were people thinking.
>>65416079
I remember when the news got out that they were essentially created by a marketing company the same as teeny bop boy bands are created and then everyone pretended they never liked them that much, anyway. Heavy Pop was an alright song.
>>65416314
To be fair, they were pretty much dead after their first single
>>65416255
>ARE YOU HEARING THIS SHIT?!
They has a good run
>>65416346
Might as well post the Libertines also
>>65416214
WHAT'S THE STORY MORNING GLORY I FEEL SO LOW AND WORTHLESS
YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>65414552
Th Black Kids, love them dearly, but Reggie Youngblood needs to get his shit together.
>>65416382
That's a great album actually
>>65416383
Dirty Pretty Things/Babyshambles apply more to this thread than The Libertines, The Libertines are pretty much considered to be legends nowadays. Their new album was pretty good too
>>65414887
Hoo dis
>>65416328
HAD A SIGN IN MY HAND CUZ THE TIMES WERE NO GOOO OOD
their stuff before this is still pretty good party background music
ayyyy
>>65416383
pete doherty is pretty iconic though, one of the last big rockstars
>>65416399
Black Kids were burned alive by that Pitchfork review
>>65416418
Why do good bands not have long term plans to be good
>>65416421
I still love them, not nearly enough recognition. Last album was great.
>>65416049
The entire house music meat factory.
>>65416443
No clue, I know he got major anxiety and fell out a while, that shit bumps though. Still waiting on the supposed second album.
Two Weeks was so fucking huge, where did he go
>how you want your sound familia?
>like coldplay, but even weaker
>say no more
I just realized how much of my youth I've spent listened to these indie buzzbands. Too much music I failed to discover due to this
Alabama ARKANSA I SURE LOVE MUH MA AND PA
this is actually a really good live performance
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qb9jY8yAxgs
>>65416346
fuck forever is the quintessential mid-'00s landfill indie song. the album as a whole has a pretty nice mood about it, a sort of dickensian grime and dampness. shame about the songwriting
both this and primal scream's evil heat have guest vocals by kate moss. we need to go back!
>>65416443
She spends her days trying to postion herself as some feminist personality online now
>>65416483
they will be back soon bruh
LOOOOOOOOOOOL
10/10, never to be talked about past 2011
>>65416523
In about two weeks?
>>65416518
i wanted to post this, but to be fair to them - travis still has a pretty loyal fanbase afaik and they're still releasing music
>>65416361
lmao where did you get that info? pretty much if you were into wu lyf you'd know that they came out of nothing thanks to the funding made by fans when they were making shitty demos and stuff
dunno what marketing company scheme you are talking about, I agree that they were absolutely overhyped by music journalists when they started acting edgy and obscure by not giving interviews, but that's it
>>65416049
DeMarco already has imitators so I doubt he will be one
Chvrches kind of depends if they can release more good music. They will probably end up like Beach House
>>65416550
>>65416517
Fuck Forever was GOAT
>they have a waaaaaaaay
>to make you feel anxious to make you paaaaaay
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND
Who bothered to listen to this atrocity?
I gave up hope after but I'm in an abusive relationship of sorts, I'm compelled to at least keep touch.
>>65416541
DELETE THIS!!!
>>65416574
Churches has yet to release anything beyond their first single.
>tfw Common has no buzz
Not indie, but where did he go
>>65416443
i find it hilarious that kate nash has rebranded herself as some kind of burger records riot grrl chick
not that it was stravinsky to begin with but she literally dumbed her music down so many levels
>>65416579
Yeps offisher.
Grizzly Bear is drowsy bullshit.
>>65416450
my guess is that you either have bands they don't really evolve musically and people get tired of the same old or they try to experiment and do horribly at it.
That and when you compare something to their greatest work it will always seem lackluster
>>65416599
I like it.
Bad kids all my friends are BAD KIDS
Warp circa mid 2000's signed some shocking acts that still rattle around in their basement to this day occasionally being allowed to release something new
>>65416599
ahahahah that first single was so fucking bad
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta2g5AcA4aU
i have never seen anything as corny as kele's dancing in this
>>65416668
This is one of those albums that I suspect got hyped just to fill the space in between releases by better artists.
>>65416230
That fucking album title
>>65416643
i guess some bands just wanna be in a band and have some fun in their mid-20s and then they go off and be psychologists or garbagemen or whatever
>>65416615
Common is a legend, he doesn't need buzz.
>>65416690
WHEN
is the fucking follow-up coming?
>>65416643
The problem with evolving musically is that the comment section is now filled with faggots whining about how they want to listen to the old music.
So you have a choice as a musician to evolve or keep serving out the same shit over and over again.
Im pro evolve, because if the comment faggots want the old band go listen to the old record or fuck off.
lol kanye even made a song about people who want the old kanye.
its a curse that knows no genre.
>>65416735
>>65416740
WE LIKE THE CARS
THE CARS THAT GO BOOM
>>65416401
They were really great, but they dropped off, made a shitty album and haven't been heard from
>>65416789
I feel like mgmt could come back if hey do one more pop rock album and drop and electric feel tier song.
They became experimental too early and it backfired
>>65416807
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9RunljdHow
loved it
>>65416752
it's always been like that though hasn't it
before comment sections people bitched their spleens out in magazine and fanclub letters
>>65415365
My high school buddy is their keyboardist. Always thought it was crazy that they actually mostly made it
>>65416314
Hot Cakes was fucking legit
>>65416789
they're recording right now, actually
>>65416750
i wonder about this every night
>>65414552
They still haven't made the song that makes Israel and Palestine get along. Disappointed.
>>65416090
definitely false. the guy built everything himself and created a devoted group of fans for years from the bottom up. lots of people will always still like him and follow new releases, deserves every bit of respect and more
>>65417033
I hope he keeps up the good work
>>65415944
>(you)
classics was tight but then shit just went downhill
>>65416967
Why did P4K give them like a 9 for this
>>65414887
I'd buzz her band
>>65416319
If you don't have a cult following and want to stay relevant, you got to adapt to the trends. Even the fucking Strokes seem to have been pushed out of the spotlight
>>65417054
me too, desu dont really know how he couldnt. never put out a bad album. vacation was just alright tho it had some good tracks a lot of forgettable ones too tho
>>65417216
The strokes are making vaporwave now what are you talking about plebe.

Literally NME: The Thread
Didn't buy into any (any) of these bands as a teen. More fool you.
>>65417080
Everything they've made is dope.
That being said, LP3 is their best.
>>65416483
these guys got talent, they definitely aren't dead
recording a new album rn, btw
>>65416476
Yeah but I can see them popping back up if they release another album
>>65417080
BBNG showed up and suddenly Ratatat sound like they music was made by orangatangs
I wish EotS' music was half as cool as their image.
Also, Fischerspooner, but I already posted them in the last thread.
>>65415516
I like Ladytron because they weren't a buzzband, at least not initially. "Electroclash, but dead serious" was a hard sell in 2001.
>>65416789
They plan to drop a new album sometime this year. I'm hoping they go back to the clean sound of Congratulations, S/T was too brickwalled for me.
this is a really good album
>>65416483
The only band that doesn't really belong here
They take their time recording music but all their albums get buzz
Is Tropical was relevant for about a whole month
>>65415366
just wish LotP released more than one full album :(
