[That Dude]

So, there are a lot of music fans here. And a lot of them are like me and love discovering new bands all the time...So I thought that we could make a thread where you can share bands that you like in the "if you like this, than try these guys" format.

So here's a few recommendations to start it off.

If you like Pheonix, check out Two Door Cinema Club.
If you like Cool Hand Luke and Waking Ashland, check out Standing Small.
If you like Cartel and Mae, try out Soletta.
If you like The Rocket Summer and Paramore, you need to try The Morning Of.

There's a few to start. Come and make your own suggestions.
