xadamhudsonx Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I am drawing a blank and it's driving me crazy. Early 2000's. Interpol-ish or Shins-ish band. The album cover was dark with yellow lights, or some kind of pattern in yellow like stars on the cover. It's very little to go on... but maybe it'll ring some bells.

YouTwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I listened to a lot of indie rock around this time. Now I want to figure this out. Any additional info? Did it get national airplay or was it a local band? xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 That's not it. The cover didn't have anything else on it except for the dark background and yellow star/light pattern (if I remember it right). Thank you though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 National airplay, not a local act. There was one single that got a good amount of play on Indie stations, but fuck me if I can remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappingtheyears Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 First thing that came to mind was Bringing Down the Horse by The Wallflowers. More late 90's and not very similar to Interpol or The Shins, but the cover matches your description almost perfectly. xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Soulwax - Any Minute Now? Edit: When you scroll up and down you can see the album title in the dots. Mind blown! xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xadamhudsonx Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 You guys are awesome for trying to help me out.Not Wallflowers. Album cover is busier pattern than that (plus I know that album by heart).It wasn't Artic Monkeys or soul wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 My whole afternoon at work is shot until we figure this out! xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xadamhudsonx Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 Solved:For some reason something you guys said kicked it loose. I was trying to think of The Stills - Logic Will Break Your Heart.Also, upon looking it up on Amazon I had the black background and busy pattern, but was totally off otherwise in it's visual description. mappingtheyears 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Good work. That was a pretty good album. If you said feathers I would have been all over it! xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember liking that one song that was on Fuse and MTV2 sometimes. xadamhudsonx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I used to see it on Subterranean when it was on MTV2. I used to watch that show and then make MP3 playlists of the songs I heard on it. I know The Still had to be on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texan4life Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I used to see it on Subterranean when it was on MTV2. I used to watch that show and then make MP3 playlists of the songs I heard on it. I know The Still had to be on there. There was a countdown music video show on MTV2 in 2003-2004 and it was like an alternative rock video countdown but it had the Used- taste of ink, Brand new- sic transit Gloria, Fountains of Wayne- Stacys mom, Hot Hot Heat- Bandages, Billy Talent- Try Honesty. STUN- Annihilation of a Generation, and others I can't think of but I've tried to find any info on this over the last couple of years and have had no luck. Just wanted to get that out of my system.
