So, much like the hypermodern studenty type I am I have matured moderately.

I want to listen to some music that deviates from angry shouting and threats of tearing faces off with sporks.


I've got a small selection of bands which are more chilled out and suchlike and am looking to broaden my tastes in this area. I'm not really into the whole new "OMFG indie!!212" trend, I'm getting more into softer rock or acoustic stuff.

Here's a list of the stuff I'm enjoying at the moment:

Modest Mouse
Brand New
Absinthe Glow (purevolume.com/absintheglow)
Placebo

So I'm looking for you to tell me some bands that are vaguely similar to them that you'd recommend and I'll give them a check out.

'preciate it.

Ryan Adams rules.

Also Jack Johnson, although recently more commercially succesful, has a good back catalogue of excellent albums and they are well worth checking out, so yeah.

Modest Mouse are good. I like Paper Thin Walls.

For acoustic stuff, try: Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, Ryan Adams, Ben Folds (although he's mainly piano).

As for soft rock/indie bands: The Shins, Counting Crows, later Idlewild, The Coral, Death Cab for Cutie. Might be worth a go.

Don't know any similar bands to them.

But surely The Mars Volta are worth giving a listen.

No wait, they are worth giving a listen, because they're damn good.

Still, you have the trusty Libertines to fall back on should you need some good music to listen to.
