Today I had the joy of discovering a new band whose sound I am really digging, and even better they are nearby.
I didn't go out looking for a new band, they just sort of come up in my searching. I think that is the best way to fixnd bands some times ... organically. How do you find new bands?
Radio isn't an option for me, as my genres get few if any air time. Some of the music channels on TV can give me a heads up, e.g. August Burns Red were a recent one I discovered off the box. But they tend to be few and far between. I tend to find review sites, such as Sputnik are my best bet or friends with similar music preferences.
Being a father to 3 I don't tend to get too many local gigs anymore, and most the acts aren't that impressive (especially in a studio setting).
Today though I just clicked on a random band that is based nearby, checked out their album stream on bandcamp and got into their sound. The band by the way is Bayou. They play southern / sludge metal and they love their riffs.
Out!
