Fires of Heaven Guild Message Board - View Single Post - What new bands are you looking forward to (2005)

What bands (preferably new, but if you insist they can be old and previously unappreciated) do you think will either make an impact in 2005 or are you looking forward to hearing more of in the year to come.

I think that a band called Bloc Party will fall into both categories next year. They're genre of music (post punk) is quite fashionable and cool at the moment, so their chances of commercial success are pretty good (though it may be held back by their politics possibly) and from what I've heard of their leaked album I really want to hear more. Basically it's dancey post punk, but with a singer that can actually sing. Check out "Like Eating Glass" which I can't stop listening to at the moment.

Another band that I'm looking forward to hearing more of is a group called Redjetson, a shoegazing post rock band who sound stunning from the live stuff I've heard. They have a small chance of making an impact on the british alt rock scene due to the increasing popularity of the genre, and the quality of the music itself.
