rolling alt/modern rock 2013

haha should that be in the crow ost is the worst record i have ever heard

it's the iron man 3 soundtrack

oh i know i'm just saying that thread has become a go-to for rock soundtrack talk

btw brad you will be completely unsurprised to learn that i have written favorably about that Seether song (and compared the chorus to Republica's "Ready To Go")

how long until this song is in literally ever movie trailer? (i don't pay attn to movies or watch tv so for all i know this may have already happened)

oh and i posted it here b/c i keep hearing it on the alt rock radio station, altho to my ears it could just as well fit in the rolling pop thread

*EVERY movie trailer gah

yeah it's def primarily an alt radio hit but it'll prob cross over soon enough.

lotta terrible new acts on the rock charts these days, can't keep Capital Cities and The Neighborhood and New Politics straight

Anything new here worth paying attention to?

The Neighborhood's "Sweater Weather" and Muse's "Panic Station" are my favorites so far this year. Atlas Genius's new one better than their first hit also.

thanks

"sweater weather" is so great

can't stand the whole neighborhood record though

oi, modern rock listeners:

i never listen to modern rock radio anymore, so i have no idea about this. on the harder end of modern rock programming, would vocals like this (the hoarse growling ones, not the sung ones)

place the music as 'abrasive' or relatively normal? they seem pretty polite to me but a lot of the sounds here are otherwise kind of modern-rock-ready (snare sound, sung vocals, anthemic dynamics)

xps OH! So that's what Capital Cities sounds like. I have a friend who talks about them a lot, and now I know I shouldn't listen to her anymore.

Capital Cities just entered the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 this week. Why are they considered alt rock again? They just sound like pure dance pop to me. Have you heard their covers of "Nothing Compares 2 U" an "Holiday" ?

Well I never quite understood how Sinead O Connor's Nothing Compares 2U was alt rock either.

lol otm
