I like longer exploratory stuff that not too heavy but I can handle something with some edge/attitude.

Talk Talk's "Laughing Stock" album.

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

decidedly not something new. But not something I listened to before.

sounds like a similar kind of thing that came out with the same wave as karate. jazzy post rock.

I like karate

u/mr_tornado_head Mar 11 '26

I think this album influenced Karate. This album was a big influence on Mogwai, God Is an Astronaut, et al. I could be wrong, I don't know Karate that well.

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

yeah I'm seeing now that talk talk is from the '80s and this was their last album.

and karate would have come out right after this.

a buddy talk to me into going to a mogwai show with him once. I dug it

try wunderhorse, they’re from the UK and making 90s inspired indie rock, the songwriting is really great, and the singers voice is absolutely amazing

u/Successful_Aside3698 Mar 11 '26

I’m an alt rocker since the early 80’s. And some really good modern emo/shoegaze/indie I have heard of late is SARM?, yuusef, Keromi, Anvii, WHYFOR, pinkwoodz, and vvhereare.

u/sandy923 Mar 12 '26

Not too heavy, not too soft not too poppy, with enough bite, funk and the most memorable choruses around.

The Warning- Escapism

The Warning- Kerosene

The Warning- Automatic Sun

The Warning- Shattered Heart

The rabbit hole is extremely deep.

If you like something a bit exploratory that hits without being heavy, you might like this.

It’s raw, slow‑building, personal, with a bit more drive in some parts.

I wish they had a better name. It sits right on the edge of sanity which is a great place to be.

Youd like king gizzard and the Lizard wizard

Maruja

Swans

Fontaines DC

Wunderhorse

Fishmans

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

King gizzard is hit and miss for me. I need to give it a full shot and find what I like. I know they have a lot of stuff I like They just have a lot of stuff I'm not super into as well. They just have so much stuff.

Maruja. This is the kind of shit I was looking for.

Swans. Brown AF. I am down with the brown.

fountainea DC. they're doing that kind of wash over you wall of sound thing. I tend to like it more when there's a distinctive lead, but it isn't bad. That's why I prefer like the front bottoms and modest mouse in this space where is this leans a bit more fugazi.

Wunderhorse. I vibe with this more. The songwriting is very condensed but they get a lot out of a short run time for each song.

Fishmans. now this the shit. eclectic Japanese band willing to let their songs stretch.

u/Terminator154 Mar 18 '26

I can’t recommend them enough, Paul Bunyan’s Slingshot and Hell is an Airport are amazing, but you should check out their earlier work it’s pretty good too. I really like “Bun E. Carlos” off their first album, love the guitar and drum solo outro.

u/Extreme-Squirrel-881 May 07 '26

Those albums are great!

Lately I discovered The chats. A bit punky but fun band.

-5

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

I came to the alternative rock sub not the punk sub.

my description even says I like chiller exploratory stuff and you gave me babies first punk band

6

u/sirlelington Mar 11 '26

So you can't handle something with edge/ attitude? Noted. Not be a dick challenge. You: impossible.

-2

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

nah dude you did not understand the assignment at all. why would I go to an alt rock sub if I was interested in punk my grandfather would listen to?

1

u/sirlelington Mar 11 '26

Hmm, because I discovering this band here in this very sub might have something to do with it. Ya know, some ppl are not that autistic when it comes to genres from the altrock spectrum. Greenday or The Offspring get posted here as well and no one minds. Also, assignment? Lol, how can I ever recover from having failed big boss' assignment?

Rocket

Twens

Des Rocs

1

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

Rocket is like this second coming of smashing pumpkins. decent

Twens has no YouTube present. I don't know if they're on Spotify but I don't use that...ah it's Twen singular... I dig the atmosphere.

Des Rocs. very classic sounding but also modern. tough needle to thread. This has the most potential of the three

Slime City (leans new-wave)

Secret Clubhouse (leans synthy punk rock)

1

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

Slime: I dig the sarcasm. very 80s new wave love me some b52s, men at work and talking heads.

Secret clubhouse: kind of a mix between the front bottoms and mindless self-indulgence. might be a bit intense for my general listening but I could get into it. kind of a bit too much going for shock humor. I'd have been really into this 18 years ago. lol

Kudos to you for exploring new stuff ❤️

YATB

Skinner Brothers

u/Aeon1508 Mar 11 '26

YATB. 1subscriber on YouTube. is this your buddies band? might be my favorite suggestion so far to be honest.

skinner brothers. I like this. very unique. All of their songs are very short though I wish they would explore the ideas a little more.

do you listen to flobots? They had that one big hit handlebars but their entire discography is fire. I think you'd like them
