I’m a fan of mashing two genres together. It’s recognizable songs in a new format!
Bluegrass covers of Rock songs
Metal covers of classical music
Classical covers of Pop songs
Video game music played by a Big Band
Wild obscure shit!
Frog Leap Studios has some great metal. Covers of other genres
This is the goal over at [email protected] Check it out
The Norfolk Orchestra has some neat covers of Radiohead. Definitely worth listening to.
You might enjoy this then.
Nice! I dig it!
You may really enjoy Bridge City Sinners then!
They do mostly Bluegrass/Folk but they have this metal vibe to a lot of their stuff. Their vocalist is fantastic and the song I linked feels like I’d be in the middle of a Cowboy Saloon barfight.
Math rock! The different time signatures are really fun, and it has a midwest emo feel
The Burgundian School of early Renaissance, (mostly) secular composers.
Yeah! I was going to say Renaissance choral music generally. Which records do you recommend?
L’homme Arme is such a cool composition. I’d love to hear a more period-accurate version, but this one is pretty great anyway.
these are kind of micro-genres since there’s only a few bands playing in these styles:
- brass house - saxophone-based dance rock. Moon Hooch, Too Many Zooz, and their combined side-project Thundersmack.
- low rock - sax and bass guitar jazz rock style originated by the band Morphine, and continued by Monique Ortiz and the band Bourbon Princess
I’m sorry to say this, but… shut the front door, there’s a genre of music like Morphine and I wasn’t informed until now?! Thank you for this knowledge, I’ll be checking both bands out tomorrow! :)
Well calling it a whole genre is a bit of a stretch. Mark Sandman of Morphine coined the term “low rock” for their type of music and there’s a couple bands heavily influenced by them that also use that label. Monique Ortiz makes music that continues the low rock vibe, and then she’s collaborated with Morphine’s drummer on Bourbon Princess, and put out an album with Morphine’s saxophonist as “A.K.A.C.O.D.” And there’s also the band “Twinemen” with former Morphine members.
