"What's this bands genre...?"
Following on from my thread, 'What's the Strangest Genre you've heard of', some people wanted to know whether I meant examples of these. Well, here it is. Simply, share with the rest of the readers whether you've heard of a band which you think is hard to call a certain genre (such as metal, rock, etc.).
For example, I didn't know what genre The Used were, before their most recent album. These don't have to be right. If you know that a band does have a specific genre, tell us, don't intimidate those who don't know (like me).

very well
I just personally don't know what to call this, I usually only listen to metal and electronic.

By the way, I don't hold the answers to all the bands (obviously). So please don't ask me to define a genre for a band on request =)

I'd call that experimental jazz. It doesn't have much of an industrial vibe really, just an implied vibe. Here's a tough one. What is Unexpect? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbS...feature=related They seem to be masters of mixing dissonance and melody, but I can't tag a genre on them for shit.

Anyone familiar with Deftones or Funeral For a Friend?
Would you still call Deftones 'nu-metal'? I think Funeral For A Friend are sort-of more 'hard rock' now with some of their old post-hardcore elements to keep old fans liking them. |
