Just thought I'd see if there were any other hipfans that have picked up the new Kings of Leon disc Youth and Young Manhood...its their debut and its really good. Kind of a southern version of the strokes mixed with Stereophonics...in my opinion. Check out the tracks California Waiting and Red Morning Light if you are bored and looking for decent new tunes...oh and of course download Into Your Hideout by Pilate...new Canadian band
Let me know what you think

Pilate's album is quite good, very Coldplay-ish....very good....

They're not new, but I can't get enough of Interpol's album from last year, "Turn On The Bright Lights". This album is simply phenomenal, no questions asked...few other new bands I'm digging...."Jet", "Tugboat Annie" and "Stars". Check 'em out! :thumb:

Kings of Leon are great...I love their album. There're very few misses and a whole lotta hits. A great moment in modern-day heavy southern rock...great ballsy punk-ish blues rock with some liberal sprinklings of 60s psychedelia and R.E.M. jangliness!

I will not give up. My face is set,my gait is fast,my goal is heaven,my road is narrow,my way is rough,my companions are few,my guide is reliable,my mission is clear. I cannot be bought,compromised,detoured,lured away,turned back,diluted or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice,hesitate in the presence of adversity,negotiate at the table of the enemy,ponder at the pool of popularity,or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I will not give up,shut up or slow down....Blessed Be!

Yeah, sorry I had a little typing stutter going there and spelt their name wrong. Heron, I agree about Interpol, that album rules...About Pilate I am going to check them out with the Dears in Calgary on the 24th of October, so I am pretty stoked about that...and Jet, Stars and Metric, I'll be sure to check out some tracks of theirs as well...if ever you hear about/listen to some new band that you find pretty good, give us a post, I am always looking for some new stuff!

OK, well how about the Trews? They supported Big Sugar on their most recent tour, although I didn't get to see them (a truly awful band called Human opened for BS)...but I like the single I heard on MuchMoreMusic and I downloaded one other song...very good rock and roll, along the lines of Kings of Leon.
By the way, S...Kings of Leon are British, but like Mark Knopfler, you'd swear they weren't British and had come from the backwaters of Alabama. Great fast-paced guitar rock. I highly recommend!
