So I am just wondering where everyone discovers new bands. I discover mine just about exclusively from the Internet (usually amazon.com):).

Friends or the Radio, with it tending to be JJJ or MMM (only one band from MMM, and that was Lit, long, long ago). 96.1 fm was a great station for newish artists back in its youth rock days, but then it went all britney.

Also, as sad as this may seem, LANs are great for anyone seeking a different/new artist or two.

WHAT THE FUCK?!?

The site is fucked. Metallica is not Death Metal it is Thrash/Speed Metal.

I don't own the site, don't blame me.

www.purevolume.com

i love that website.
I just had a look at that website and I don't really think it is that good because it doesn't have recommendations of another bands based on a band you look up or recommendations from other people. That is why I like amazon.com so much:).

Yeah, I'll admit that's a drawback. But it's pretty good, if you've got time to search you can find some pretty good shit.

Yeah it does have some good unknown bands and if you had the time (or a broadband connection) you could probably go through them all and find some great bands:).

Sometimes new bands that are trying to make it are support acts for other bands concerts

Thus the reason I like it :)

But if you wanna find some good bands, usually you can goto other bands websites and they'll have some great links to other bands.
