Bands with a Unique Sound

Okay, so there are many different bands out there.  Plus, they all have a slightly different sound, except it’s all very similar.  Here are some band with a different and unique sound.  These bands are some of my favorites. 

Flogging Molly

When it comes to Flogging Molly, the saying, ‘you can’t judge a book by it’s cover’ usually comes to mind.  I mean, if you dissect their name it means whipping Molly, yikes!!  Trust the band has nothing to do with whips.  This band has traditional Celtic instruments, the fiddle, accordion, penny whistle etc., and it has traditional rock instruments like the guitar, drums, and bass guitar.  All in all there are a total of seven members in the band, lead singer/ acoustic guitar/bodhran/ spoons player Dave King, fiddle/ tin whistle/ uillean pipes/ and vocals player Bridget Regan, vocals and guitar player Dennis Casey, accordion and concertina player Matt Hensley, vocals and bass guitar player Nathen Maxwell, mandolin and banjo player Bob Schmidt, and percussion player George Schwindt. 

This band has a unique sound because of the different instruments than regular American rock bands.  But their energy, even in their Cd’s is astounding.  You know that they are playing music from their heart and not for the money.  Flogging Molly is a touring band other than a band who is constantly making new albums and staying at the recording studio.  They like to be around their fans.  This band is from a wide range of ages, from 20s- 40s, giving them the not- your- typical- cool- band.  The song above is from from their new album “Float“, the song is entitled “Float.”  It’s their first music video off their new album.  If you enjoy this song is you’ll most likely enjoy the rest of this album.  I know I do!

Paramore.  A band with catchy lyrics and a great sound.  They have tons of energy and they sing about something besides sex.  Kind of like Flogging Molly.  Their lead singer, Haley, Josh Farro as lead guitar, Zac Farro on Drums, and Jeremy Davis on Bass.  This started up when all the band members were in high school.  Their debut album is All we Know is Falling had songs such as All we Know” on it.  In 2007 their recent Cd had been recorded, Riot.
