The bass player in my band showed me some of their stuff yesterday, it's so totally wicked...reminds me of a little Stone Temple Pilots happy.gif , a little Pink Floyd and a little more grunt. Loving it.

Anyone heard of them? Seen them live?? This could just be my one of my new favourite bands smile.gif

Well what the hell is wrong with me that I've just discovered this band?! I was talking on another board about how all music sucks (a point someone else brought up) and they sent me some PT MP3's to show me that not ALL music sucks. I've heard people saying good things about them but just never got around to listening to their stuff. It's damn good.

I have been told to start out with In Absentia. Any other suggestions?

You biznatchio! Lol, nearly two years ago I directed you to them (or was it Jen). But yeah, In Absentia is the best place to start. Usually newcomers start with In Absentia and Deadwing and then afterwards explore their extensive back-catalogue, which is basically very psychadelic rockish with atmospheric long pieces and an absence of the heavier aspect which manifests itself in IA and DW. After In Absentia and Deadwing, Signify is probably a very good bet to get into their earlier stuff. Lightbulb Sun is also an option, because it's in their transition period from spacier stuff to heavier, more song-oriented music. Either way, it's pretty hard to go wrong with Porcupine Tree...there's also the new album which should be coming out in May or June. Hope you end up liking them as much as I do! (Which will mean you are overly obsessed and have to listen to them at least once a day.) Porcupine Tree is my favorite band of today.
