12 Stones

12 Stones

This is one of those (hard-) rock bands which I found interesting enough in my 20s. My music taste has developed in a different direction, but I couldn’t yet hit the delete button because somehow, the songs are crafted enough and despite the fact that I just found out it’s christian rock.

Maybe hit delete after all …

Cherry Ghost

Unbelievably good music. The voice makes me relax and feel safe, the music is perfect for an epic couch experience. Just turn it up loud, and you’ll be gone for a while.

Strings attached, the sounds could be described as piano indie rock, but then again, there’s also a good portion of singer-songwriter to it because the lyrics are quite interesting as well.

Caution: Might make you want to stay where it’s taken you.

Thee More Shallows – Book Of Bad Breaks (2007)

This band is special in the way that their music is dense yet intricate, noise rock and pop meet at a party, so to speak.

I’d be glad if I might compare them to Conor Oberst on a shoegazing trip.

Remy Zero

Long time no hear no news, but lately, I suddenly stumbled upon a „new“ 2010 EP by Remy Zero. I instantly remembered that I had some intense listening moments with this band.

Keeping the good old alternative rock tradition, they have a thumping sound to them.

Sadly, the drummer passed away in 2010, and, as a result, the band has ceased to exist.

Conduits

Check out this indie supergroup from the US. Dense, dark and intense guitar sounds combined with slow, relaxed, sometimes hypnotic beats make you shoegaze the night away. Have a glass of red wine, or two. Or whiskey.

Not to be confused with the band The Conduits from the Netherlands.
