I thought I would share my list. Below are 5 more bands that you need to hear. Being from Boston I'm mostly familiar with Boston bands, so be sure to leave a comment to tell me about favorite bands in other areas. In no particular order... --- ### 1. Glacier ![Glacier band](https://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-2148130503-png/glacier.png?width=613&name=glacier.png "AM to AM band") I like to describe [Glacier](http://www.glacierband.com) as a mix between Neurosis and Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Although I'm not sure that does this band justice. They describe themselves as "Loud & sad" and I'm not one to disagree. I've known most of the guys in this band for over a decade and to see them progress from high school bands to this is inspiring and motivating. I can't get enough of their Kirtland EP: <a href="http://glacierma.bandcamp.com/album/kirtland">Kirtland by Glacier</a>   These guys will be joining us [January 8th, 2015 at The Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, Massachusetts.](https://www.underseaband.com/shows/middle-east-upstairs) ### 2. Save Ends ![Save Ends](https://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-2151568514-jpg/saveends.jpg?width=1024&name=saveends.jpg) I love [Save Ends](http://www.saveends.com). I cannot say enough good things about this band. I was a huge fan of keyboardist/singer Brandon Cahill's band Making it Right years ago and when I found out he was doing something new I was excited. The songs are catchy, clever, and fun. I think their music video for "Song of Susanna" says it all: I've seen them live no less than 5 times this year and I will never miss them playing in Boston. ### 3. Vary Lumar ![Vary Lumar](http://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-2154123386-jpg/0002709432_10.jpg?width=960&name=0002709432_10.jpg "My Idiot Friends") I would describe [Vary Lumar](http://www.varylumar.com) as dark alternative rock with some electronic tinges. Their new record Breaker just came out and is fantastic. They also recently played a Halloween set as my all time favorite band Smashing Pumpkins. The video below shows it better than any words I've got. I've known guitarist Christopher Brown for a few years and this my favorite thing he has ever done. Their CD release show is this [Friday December 5th](https://www.facebook.com/events/1454798391426437) at TT The Bear's Place. Go see them! ### 4. Funeral Advantage ![Funeral Advantage](https://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-2151585616-jpg/0001959022_10.jpg?width=1200&name=0001959022_10.jpg "Funeral Advantage") I recently caught Funeral Advantage in Cambridge opening for Cloakroom. Their dream-pop sound is definitely something I've been heavily into a the moment. I'm dying for them to put out some more music   ### 5. MountainMan ![MountainMan](https://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-2148245918-jpg/529661_10151361368886709_890810805_n.jpg?width=960&name=529661_10151361368886709_890810805_n.jpg) Loud. That's the best possible way I can describe [MountainMan](https://www.facebook.com/mountainmanhc). We recently played with these guys in Boston as the last stop on our tour. I was not counting on a three piece being as loud as they were. They way they started the set put the room into a trance before pummeling them. Fantastic band that I hope we get a chance to play with again soon. --- That's it for now. And as previously mentioned, this list is pretty geographically biased, so be sure to comment and tell me about your favorite local or emerging bands. **Who should I be listening to?** ** ** [![Hear Undersea](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/158228/d12e9658-4cdb-4824-a745-fd4c92e23b36.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/158228/d12e9658-4cdb-4824-a745-fd4c92e23b36) Topics: [music recommendations](https://www.underseaband.com/blog/topic/music-recommendations) ![](https://www.underseaband.com/hs-fs/hub/158228/file-1223148869-jpg/50a4715d-69f7-46af-b3ca-ec16efe5f313.jpg) Find me on: Find me on: [Twitter ](https://www.twitter.com/mattundersea) ### Matthew Vincenty Matthew plays guitars for Undersea.
