I feel like I'm different than a lot of the people here. I feel a lot more mainstream and poppy than you guys. I probably don't listen to half as much indie as you all.

No worries - It makes for more variation if you're different. Smile
I haven't found anyone on here who likes Crowded House or REM.

out of curiosity what are you into? also, what do you like about eisley and how'd you hear about them? i imagine Eisley's label is going to market to people more into mainstream type stuff. do you think people more into mainstream type music would get/like/appreciate eisley?

I like REM!!

Oh and yes, I'm not quite as much into indie as a lot of folks on here.
Eisley is the most independent band I've ever really known about.
Since I've been here though, I've learned a lot about music from passionate
music people like Paul. Very Happy

I'm into a lot more "rockier" bands than Eisley. "rockier" and poppier, I guess you could say. A lot of music I listen to is really rocked out, or really fun and goodtimes. (Coheed And Cambria, Halifax, Saosin, Hot Hot Heat, Hot Rod Circuit, Thursday, Glassjaw, Piebald, The Format, Mae, Northstar, Fall Out Boy, Silverchair, Spitalfield).

I love everything about Eisley, though. Seeing as they're such a change from what I usually listen to. It's good to have change. I love how passionate and magical and fairytaleish their music is. It's just very calming. It's also nice to have a difference in female vocals than what I normally listen to in female vocally fronted bands (The Sounds, The Start, Surferosa, Tsunami Bomb, Rilo Kiley). I love the sounds and the keyboards and the basslines are wonderful. The whole picture it puts in my head and creates is just... well, lovely. I can't think of another word to describe their music than lovely.

And believe it or not... about 3 years ago I was part of the oldoldold Good Charlotte message board... then it shut down, and most of the boardies went to different boards that different members had made... I went to this board called GCR with about 30 other people... and then that boards Mod was crap... so most of us left after about a year... and then myself and another boardie made our own board, and there is about... 20 of us... it's in no way shape or form a Good Charlotte board, we just are all a bunch of kids who like talking to each other, and one of the girls saw Eisley with Coldplay and told us about them. I learn a lot of bands from those kids because we're all so different when it comes to musical taste. Most of us got our musical start from Good Charlotte, and it lead us all different ways. these two kids, a girl and one a guy are completely punkrocker musically, they listen to all these crazy punkrock bands I've never heard of, another girl is really indie and listens to a lot of indie bands and emo type bands... then there is a boy who's "emocore" and modern rock and kind of poppish sort of... then some other girls who listen to varied stuff.

it's awesome because I get a lot of bands from them of different style.
I think as long as you have an open mind, you will love Eisley. It's at simple as that.

And now that I have basically typed up a NOVEL... I will just end right here with that. :]

I like variation, which is why I like this board. We relate in various ways. It's goodtimes. I mean, when I'm at school I'm always the girl explaining the bands am talking about, because no one knows who they are... and then I come here and I have a chance to experience the other side. It's a nice change to be the asker than the answerer

You know what I think is weird? that a lot of Eisley fans seem to like other things as well. Like a lot of people on here have said they like Harry Potter, Saved, Michael Moore, Incubus, Nirvana, System of a Down, The Wonder Years.. etc. I think that's splendid. It's also very weird. .. strange because it's like .. well I don't know, but it's funny odd that Eisley fans like the same things other than Eisley as well. It's cool..

I like it.


you talking about the movie saved?

because i've recently seen some commercials on that movie, and it looks funny as hell.. Twisted Evil

I was gonna say, if I didn't, how much I appreciate the influx of
diversoids on the forum. I mean, of course, there has been... It's not like
everyone on the board only listens to the same bands, but I just think
hisownshot and bloomedis giving the forum another facet ... a
value I champion in this expanding culture.

Band's get pigeon holed so easily. In a way, it was so cool that we got to
go out with both Coldplay AND Brand New... both bands are on different
planets but it gave Eisley an audience with different kinds of music
lovers. I know, I know... not everyone agree's, but music isn't like
politics. It's not so exclusive...there are many overlapping styles and
influences.

And, just because Eisley is not as hard... or hard at all, I guess, as other
bands, they still like all kinds of rock music.

Good LORD, in no way are those bands "poppier"! Especially not Glassjaw. But very, VERY good taste, you have there. It's nice to mix it all up and throw in a lot of Eisley for an extra stupendous flavor, eh?

I'm not nessicarily saying all are poppier, but in the sense that I lsiten to a lot of Fall Out Boy, Spitalfield, and The Format type stuff, which is pretty poppy.
But thanks :]
And yes, indeed Eisley is a lovely mix into the bunch

has anyone heard the dissociatives album yet?

i'd bet a lot of people on here would like it. the band is daniel johns from silverchair and paul mac.

it hasn't been released in the us yet (i don't think) but you can order it online or check out their site. luckily i live close to amoeba records and they had it as an import (too bad it was 20 bucks, but it was worth it).

speaking of the diversity on the board, is anyone else excited for july 13/20? the new roots AND dillinger escape plan!
