The Siren Tower - A History Of Houses
Australia ROCKS part 1. A magic blend of modern rock with folk elements. Extremely melodic music and deep lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7r78LPCEk0Q
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERN47U5ntO0

Crippled Black Phoenix - Mankind, The Crafty Ape
UK underground band, the greatest "unknown" band of the last 5 years, they combine classic rock with alternative and post rock. Not for every day listening but very rewarding when you want to go "eclectic".
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLiR_MT6toQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hww41CRS0E

Classic Crime - Phoenix
Their best album, modern rock a bit like Anberlin, just listen to Heaven and Hell below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNxqPeJMNKk

Twelve Foot Ninja - Silent Machine
Australia rocks part 2. If you miss the madness of Faith No More, these are your guys. They mix quite a few of genres.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ST85Sui43Q
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I83Xp7itj8c

Atoma - Skylight
Progressive, mostly instrumental, mixed with electro, shoegaze, post rock. Mind blowing music.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_676Wk_sC20
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGPUrdirnwA

Absent Hearts - August Earth
Extremely melodic, modern rock, slow, almost ambient, a warm hug for the winter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sM2Ykqevb0s
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w83_kQLwIe4

The Darcys - Aja
A modern band's interpretation of the Steely Dan classic album. They did an amazing job imho, injecting darker and alternative sounds to the masterpiece.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cNk3ZaAPOs

Witchcraft - Legend
Retro album of the year, yet modern, these Swedes are the REAL DEAL.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nlsnE2wM3I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OtjEpbiba4

Bats - The Sleep Of Reason
Post Hardcore, a glimpse to rock in the future
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgo7mYLCix4

Ne Obliviscaris - Portal Of I
Australia rocks part 3. Progressive/melodic death metal with great musicianship.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsh9xzTCFRk


Not to be missed albums (outside of this site's coverage) but maybe someone mentioned here a few of them:

Dead Sara (Emily Armstrong FTW)
Mars Volta (Fucking brilliant genre of their own)
Deftones (Loved it, sits there with White Pony)
Temper Trap (Australia rocks part 4, great singer)
Celldweller (Modern rock for the clubs)
Hot Water Music (the guys are BACK)
Portico Quartet (electronica/jazz)
Breaking Orbit (Australia rocks part 5 - Alternative Prog)
Katatonia (They get better and better)
One Less Reason (Chris Brown rips his heart out and ours)]]> iraklis NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 21:29:09 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926934,927009#msg-927009 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926934,927009#msg-927009 Fred NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 15:48:46 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926934,927003#msg-927003 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926934,927003#msg-927003Trixter - New Audio Machine
