A really good rock band from this year that I just discovered through the Quietus list are Ought. Very Televisiony, a little bit of early Radiohead in there but not as prissy and moany - tougher and hungrier sounding. Check em.
― dive inside water and you will know (dog latin), Saturday, 6 December 2014 00:44 (nine years ago) link
i mean their old stuff is kind of a direct antecedent to fob and mcr getting huge, so maybe you'd like it, but it's very, very emo, especially tell all your friends which imo was a template that everyone else refined. the new one is probably their least emo and most straightforward modern rock record, feels like a bunch of dudes who've written together for years just really locking into each other and crafting great songs
i am also literally the only person who feels this way about this record so idk
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Saturday, 6 December 2014 00:49 (nine years ago) link
but i think you'd also like louder now which is one of the more expensive sounding mainstream emo records out there
where you want to be was always my fave

Long-time veterans have accounted for a lot of my favorite rock singles/tracks over the last few years. This year, I've got Yes ("Believe Again"), the new McCartney single, and that Jackson Browne song (plus Beck - I really like "Blue Moon"). Last year, I have Dot Wiggin Band, the Dirtbombs (that great bubblegum record they did), Eric Carmen, and Camper Van Beethoven. Year before, I have a ton - Peter Daltrey, Dylan, Asia, Susanna Hoffs, and Lee Ranaldo.
― timellison, Saturday, 6 December 2014 05:13 (nine years ago) link
Yes, Ought is good. On this thread Rolling Post-Punk Thread my first impressions of them reminded me of Raincoats and early Clinic a bit. Have A Nice Life and Total Control seem to be favorites this year too. I'm also partial to The Sea Kings, The New Christs and Dark Blue.

Sleaford Mods #20 on the Quietus' "2014 so far" list, but nowhere on the final list. That's a mighty big fall from favour in the space of about five months.

Deep tech is still a largely localised scene with zero breakout anthems, even internet breakout anthems. PC Music is obviously all internet breakout music but is largely terrible - there'll probably be a couple of them in the FACT list though.

Cosine Marissa Nadler (though I have to say I did prefer the previous album), Alice Boman - EP II also great in a slightly less gothy vein.
