They kinda blew up recently because of their KEXP performance, but I discovered Angine de Poitrine like 2 weeks before that.
I also discovered 88Kasyo Junrei around the same time. Fantastic band.
Really got into? The Strokes three or four years ago.

Ghost. Square Hammer is the song that initially melted my face off.
I got into them a few years ago and for me it was the live video of ‘Mary on a cross’ which then got me into their discography.

I got super into “Square Hammer” last Halloween!
I started listening to Ghost a few years ago after listening to Square Hammer. They are so good I have no idea how I got through my life without hearing them earlier. Love their costumes as well.
You found a fantastic band to get into! My wife and I are bummed Ghost’s current tour is done, we went to four of them because the production value of their latest tour was so damn good.
Congrats on finding the best band ever 🤘
Do this song next
More artists than bands, but:
Lubalin and Su Lee
Ladrones
I don’t know Spanish.
Don Broco. Nightmare Tripping released yesterday.
I probably heard stuff on the radio (CBC-1) and even on Lemmy that I’ve taken a liking to the first time I’ve heard them, but have yet to search for them. But here are a few relatively recent stuff. I pretty sure I’ve listened to each of the first 3 at least 10x, maybe ≥20x.
Clarissa - Ela [might be “bedroom pop”/lo-fi/dream pop/techno-pop/soft] (2021)

ELA - Clarissa

(You can probably download this directly from Vimeo.)
Yeah, I know, 2 young attractive barefoot women who kiss in the end and the translation, IIUC, indicates that her parents wouldn’t understand their relationship, but I’ve taken quite a liking to the music.
Ivana Máchová & Miriam Hrušková - Terezka [sounds a bit like ABBA] (1979)

Cold Showers - “Sliver” (Official Video) (they sound a bit like Depeche Mode)

[21st dekaday, 2787 YAE] Laura (music by Nick Gudgeon; Dancer Laura Beanland Stephens) [the music has a bit of a Tycho feel to it] (2018)

Mamalarkey their song Big Trouble is such a goddamn banger
ANIMA! Moving Mountains is my favorite.
It’s been a year or so but probably Reagan Youth
In the span of like 2 weeks I discovered a bunch of new music. I never get why people cling onto the stereotype that you stop listening to new music once you hit a certain age. I’m finding new shit all the time.
Die Spitz - Doom/Punk/Grunge band from Texas. They have really wild shows.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VB01l-V_vAETropical Fuck Storm - Aussie Rock & Roll. Kind of a sad boy druggy aesthetic.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t663s10WwPEEarth Tongue - New Zealand classic Heavy Metal with Ozzy and Satan in mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs
Spite - Deathcore. Kinda boring old school Myspace era stuff to be honest. Takes me back to 2007 when I was a wee lad though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7qUjVRe8fs
Am I the crusty Deathmetal head now?
Igorr . Ils sont fous, les Français!
Bloodywood - A Bollywood themed metal band. Great fun!
Check out the Andre Antunes with Nooran Sisters mashup. (He has more of these with various Indian and Pakistani singers.)
