Reccommend me a recent(18months) album to try out

My favorite album of 2011 was Dawes - Nothing is Wrong

Just a quick blurb from one review... to get an idea of their sound...

Dawes are steeped in rock tradition, whether backing Robbie Robertson live or working on their own: "Fire Away," from their second album, sounds like a lost B side from Jackson Browne (and features Browne himself on backing vocals). The arrangements are all vintage, the guitar leads hot, and fraternal harmonies of drummer Griffin and leader Taylor Goldsmith are gorgeous even when the lyrics strain ("Time Spent in Los Angeles" plays like a dubious come-on to a lady circa 1973). Taylor's current side project, Middle Brother, shows his wilder, less studied side; this tuneful but sometimes bland set could use more of that.

@ Seaward.... I forget what post but I was digging some music you name dropped. Some very obscure bands(to me) I youtubed them but cannot remember them. This may have been one though


Anyways thanks for posting

Harrison Hudson. American thunder. One of the best albums of 2011.

Torche-Harmonicraft

John frusciante - Letur Left
Black Pistol Fire - self titled
Justin Bieber - Believe (Jk)

Santigold

If you like Mumford and Sons, etc check out these guys. Pretty good

The Lumineers

Anthrax - Worship Music

Goat Rodeo is another one

Screaming Females - Ugly

None of this sissy stuff. A wailing banshee backed by distorted guitar riffs. Though I sign off on Cloud Nothings, though its more punk than metal.
