Do you know of any artists or bands that secretly put on a persona in order to appear more relatable to their genre? For example, a country music artist who acts like they fit the part by dressing like a cowboy/girl, singing with a southern accent, having lyrics about living in a small town or working blue collar jobs, when in reality they’re from a northern big city. A rapper with lyrics involving growing up poor in a bad neighborhood, doing drugs, committing…

How do you keep track of new releases and new bands? To this day, I have not found a single service that’s useful to track new releases of favorite artists or new bands of similar genres to your favorites. I have Tidal and Roon as a media player, and the recommendations and updates are mediocre at best. I know Spotify’s algorithm is superior, but I don’t have that service and don’t care to pay for…

Which bands/artists should make movie soundtracks? Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross (the only official members of Nine Inch Nails) have established themselves in the movie soundtrack business. And so has Jonny Greenwood (guitarist of Radiohead), to an extent.

I think the only three that come into mind (at least for me) is Slipknot, Guns n roses, and Morphine Slipknot has a vocalist, two guitarists, a bassist, a drummer, two percussionists, a keyboardist, and a DJ/Turntablist. That’s a handful Guns n Roses has a vocalist/pianist, bassist, two guitarists, drummer, and two keyboardists, a rather unusua…

What modern bands have great latter day albums? Modern meaning 80s 90s onwards I guess. A few that come straight to mind are Sonic Youth, Blur and Dandy Warhol’s. All these bands have released good records well into their career. submitted by /u/TechnicalTrash95

What musicians / bands you never heard of before this year and realised they were quite famous? Until few years ago, I used to be surprised that some people never had heard about Red Hot Chili Peppers or Pearl Jam, for instance.

Multifunctional smartwatch bands should be more of a thing It’s less violently green in person, but what I appreciated was how it changes up the feel of the watch without me having to do anything. | Image: NomadIt’s no surprise that most fitness trackers have swappable straps these days. Watches — smart or otherwise — are a fashion statement, people have different needs from their wearables, and everybo…

New bands with that classic rock sound I know ‘classic rock’ includes lots of styles of rock, but what new bands sound like they could’ve been playing music back in the late 60’s and through the 70’s? As an example, The Sheepdogs is a band I found with that sound. Any other similar artists/bands people can recommend? If you’re also a fan of that ‘good ole rock n roll music’ and neve…

Great bands that have never had a hit Can anyone suggest great bands that have never had a hit? An example would be Los Lobos. They’ve been a consistently good, recognized band for 35 years. But they’ve never had a hit What other bands like this can music fans think of? I think there are regional bands which for some reason have never broken out of their local area. submitted by…

Moesha – Bands/Singers I’ve been rewatching Moesha on Netflix since I was feeling nostalgia; I’m still on season one, but have really enjoyed the singers/bands that have been on. And also pleasantly surprised that Nancy Wilson was featured; I forgot they’d have musical guests and glad they were able to nab her. My point is that I’m sure some other big names will appea…

Say ‘I Do’ With These Honda Wedding Bands From Japan A jeweler in Japan is selling wedding bands with Honda’s seal of approval. While there probably isn’t an actual Honda or Acura part number for the platinum bridal bands from U-Treasure, the ring sets are still officially sanctioned by Big Red in the form of iconic logos, which are engraved on the inside of the rings.
