Same here - I've just noticed Mr Larrington's reply below my post They are a great live band - I saw them in some London dive about 8 years ago. Looks like they're touring next year, but only Manchester and London.

I think I have a music-twin Or you could go back a few pages Today I am Listening To...I've found Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever to be my favourite album. Such a big sound, considering there are only three of them.

Wow, I've never been considered to be a music guru before. Most family/friends think my musical taste is just weird... Actually - EITS are one band that's pretty much passed me by. I have a downloaded copy of 'All Of A Sudden I Miss Everyone' but it seems to have got lost in deluge of other stuff I got at the same time. Will have to add it to the mp3 & listen at work. And add 'Those Who Tell...' to my save for later list on eMusic too.More recommendations in addition to Forest Swords:This Will Destroy You65daysofstatic (latest album We Were Exploding Anyway is great)Gentleman Losers
When I was trying to explain Explosions in the Sky to someone else, I described them as a less avant-garde Godspeed. And hopefully that doesn't sound too crap.
Did I mention that the Social Secretary and I are seeing GY!BE on Tuesday
Your tastes seem very wise to me. I haven't heard of half the bands you mention
I mostly listen to electronica so a lot of the artists I mention are anonymous & faceless Aphex/Autechre fan-boys with a limited audience!
