10, Low Absinthe
Low Absinthe is the best folk rock in China in the 21st century, at least the most promising. Although it still needs to be developed technically, the style and ambition have been inherited from the older generation such as Tang. Moving towards and overloading the tradition is expected to usher in a new era.
However, they had the opportunity to write a significant mark in contemporary Chinese rock , but when they turned their music into light and airy, their names became insignificant.
Has he reconciled with himself? This is not the reason, and the waist has reconciled with itself, but they came up with "Hate to Meet Too Late". You can throw away your anger, your arrogance, and a lot of things, but you have to keep your own style, right?
9, wild child
What is " ballad "? I think it should be interpreted as "ballads originating from the folk". It is not a soft and slightly sad "travel song", nor is it a song about urban "youth loss" male love A contrived love song of female love; in the songs of "Wild Child", you can hear the flavor that has been sung for a long time and will be passed down forever. This song grows from the earth and stretches towards the sky. It breathes the air and emits the breeze.
Wild Child's songs grow out of the earth. Some songs never seem new, but they never grow old.
What I pay most attention to is the great tragedy in Wild Child's music.
Zhang Quan
sings about the suffering of the world. A good friend of mine once said that there are no folk songs in China after wild children. Although this statement is extreme, it is not unreasonable.
8, Dada band
Can you imagine hearing a mainland band make a song of The Cure level in 2000? This is the shocking feeling I felt when I heard "Instant" on the radio.
Dada 's "Golden Age" is the benchmark for Chinese rock bands to enter the mainstream.
This album is greatly influenced by Brit-pop, and the arrangement is guitar-led. This is the main reason. At the same time, Pentan 's talent highlights their own unique temperament. They have achieved a good balance between mainstream and rock, just like Oasis. You can say that their songs tend to be mainstream, but they are definitely not the kind of vulgar and boring mainstream that can be copied on the assembly line.
7, Wutiaoren
You can hear the deep and warm humanistic care from Wutiaoren’s songs! Gojo Ren's songs are just like this. They are sung eloquently without any need for emotional venting. They are sung like this, accompanied by strange but richly styled tunes, which make people moved but not excited.
Many of Wutiaoren's songs contain thoughts about society and are very realistic. Modern historical themes are also an important theme in their creations. For example, in this song "Peng Ah Pai", their ingenious conception and expressions are similar to operas. .
's spontaneous improvisation, as well as different musicians and venues, and different degrees of adaptation of songs are also an important feature that distinguishes them from many other bands.
6, Lost Train
He said that the name Lost Train came from a script he wrote when he was thirteen or fourteen years old, called Lost Train. Later, when I was forming the band, I tried many names but was not satisfied, so I came up with the idea of Lost Train, which is called Lost Train for short.
Lost Train is a rock band that is very good at writing melodies. "Tea Bottom World" and "Train Diary" are both highly rated.
They are related to Heilongjiang. Their song "Mao'er Mountain" reminds people of the sky outside their balcony and everything they missed in their middle school days. Their "Sofia" will make people miss the days of wandering on Central Street, where bread stones and Songhuajiang are common, and Jihongqiao and red bricks are there. The clear voice of
is the purity of a young man, and it is also the immortality that cannot be obtained.
There are so many things that are inescapable, and they gradually trap us. We will eventually become still, first in mind and then in body.
5, Buyi Band
Buyi Band was established in Ningxia in 1995. At the earliest, the lead singer was not Wu Ningyue , but seemed to be called Ma Xiangdong . The song "Autumn" was written by him.
's arrangements for every performance are full, and the main vocals are hoarse. It has been 22 years since their debut, and they still take rock music and what they want to convey so seriously. Beauty that cannot be discovered is always easy to treasure, just like my feelings for them.
is powerful but not angry, fresh and deep, emotional but independent and sober. This is the Buyi Band.
4, waist band
A group of people at the bottom of society recorded their own thoughts and emotions, and wrote music with extremely high artistic accomplishment.
Except for a few bands such as Zhou Ren, Mutuigua, and , there are few that can be as pioneering as Waist. With the anxiety, panic and love belonging to the southwest frontier, they were outside, impatient and wanted to leave. They wrote a poem and sang with tears. This is a kind of sentiment.
waist has a profound imprint of the times. It was born in China and can only belong to China.
3, Heisa Band
As a Shaanxi person, especially a Shaanxi person wandering outside, we should be extremely lucky that Shaanxi can have such a proud band.
No matter you are still young or have become a piece of dregs, no matter you are still young and beautiful or you cannot grasp the tail of youth, as long as you still love life, you will still be strong. Please put on your headphones and reminisce about the past in the music. .
is as serious as a knight. Like an old man telling you to persevere. Like a lovelorn man telling you that he believes in love. He understood everything but smiled.
Xi'an Incident folk songs started again. You will never be disappointed, this is Heisa.
2, Su Yang Band
Secondhand Rose is a Northeastern duo rock, while Su Yang is a Northwest rock band.
The first time I heard Su Yang was when I was about to leave Northwest. The wind in Helan Mountain blew the leaves yellow and made them grow old, and it created a string in my heart. They are young people from the countryside. They cannot create gorgeous things. They can only shout songs. What they shout is the meaninglessness of the people in the grassland towards destiny. In the silence of the northwest, such carnivals can be seen everywhere. I have full respect for them.
1, Mountain Man Band
Regarding the Yunnan elements in Chinese rock, perhaps many people are still stuck in Zheng Jun 's "There is no feast that never ends" Zheng Jun many years ago. That was Zheng Jun's impression of the Yunnan side as a tourist. The wonderful association of the local Wa nationality is to listen to the rock and roll with the style of Caiyunzhi in the soul, and also to listen to the folk rock and roll of the mountain people and the three stompers who use mud and water and pedals. After being shaken by this somewhat abrupt form, , you will be immersed in the weird context of their writing, be attentive and moved when you should be moved, and laugh when you should be grinning.
If their lyrics were more interesting, their intentions more obvious, their attitudes more friendly, and their sense of form stronger, they might be liked by more people. There should come a day, and maybe they are also trying to find a clearer positioning for themselves. I just hope that when that day comes, they will still be themselves, still soil, real soil. Life should get better and better, and we should be happy about this.
But it is still happiness, and it is different from empty happiness. This kind of happiness that persists through difficult reality should have more weight. bless them!
