What other bands are like New Order?
 

???

Joy Division.

I was just about to download some.

Depeche mode is also where it's at.

All I ever wanted. :'(

Man, this is the best form of music.

Try British Sea Power too. Their second album comes out next week. Same kind of stuff, except a bit more dramatic.

I don't like them, but that single from The Bravery sounds like New Order, so I guess you could try the Bravery :-\

Black Grape

Sounds nothing like New Order. Sounds more like the Strokes mated to the Killers, in a cynical attempt to play on the recent success of both. The Bravery are fucking awful.

I was just sort of thinking about the electronic bit at the beginning, had a sort of Blue Monday feel to it

Monaco were fairly New Order-esque.

As were Electronic.

Carpathian Forest

The Killers singer actually came out recently and slagged off the Bravery as being signed solely on the success of The Killers and to be some sort of imitators.

The Killers are way better by a country mile.

New Order= heart!

Kernkraft maybe.

New order are pretty unique.

Try some Mylo and Prodigy. All electronica experimental stuff.

No Prodigy bullshit.

I like the simple elegance of New Order.

Joy Division and Depeche Mode are equally up there.

Well, New Order are an indie band who use electronica influences.

So early Prodigy and Kernkraft and Daft Punk are the electronica side, then stuff like Stone Roses and Smiths and The Cure are the indie side.

There are no bands with a similar sound to New Order though.


Also when I say Prodigy, I mean earlier stuff than Firestarter and Breathe.

Songs like Charlie and Jericho sound nothing like New Order.
Yeah go with Joy Divison and Depeche Mode, I'm also guessing you'll like or do like The Cure. I'd start off with 'Disintegration' as the first album you buy or download.

Neither do any of those bands. New Order have a unique sound. Joy Division, Depeche Mode and The Cure, none use electronica underbeats.

Depeche mode only sound similar because Dave Gahan has a similar deep voice.

I dunno, but Depeche Mode are pritty hot.

yeah, Prodigy is nothing like New Order. this is also coming from a person you only listens to this stuff.

Depeche Mode's earlier stuff has a New Order feel. Give 101 a listen.

The Lightning Seeds sound like New Order would sound if they weren't very good.

Nothing sounds the same as New Order. Get the point. They made dark 80's Indie like the Smiths, The Cure Depeche Mode etc... They incorperated electronica Like all the bands I said before.

That, is the answer to the question.
The Lightning Seeds were good, and couldn't be more different from New Order unless the were fronted by Marylin Manson.

"Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Just can't get enough" from Depeche Mode definitely have the same feel.

I am not sure what era that you are comparing, but DM's earlier stuff had a very solid electronic beat to it. You are correct Gahan voice lends to comparisons as well.

Anyone pick up Gahan's solo album? Just saw it over the weekend. It looked interesting. I always though he would be a good replacement for Michael Hutchence in INXS as there were rumours he was questioning his role in DM.

I saw him live a few years ago at a festival.

His solo stuff is more rocking than that of DM.
