San Francisco-based LoveLikeFire has incorporated a lot of different influences into its sound, including shoegazer and all kinds of indie rock, but the most striking to me is postpunk. I can totally hear the spirit of Siouxsie & the Banshees in “William,” featured below. It also has a very impressive anime-style video.
I found several other good videos of the band on YouTube. Check out their MySpace, and their band website.

At some point I’m going to do a proper post about the Gypsy Punk band Gogol Bordello, which is way up on my list of all time favorite bands. But right now I want to link to a great list of recommendations by lead singer Eugene Hütz: Recommended Music.
I don’t have everything on it, but I have some, and will eventually get more. Trust me on this one, Hütz knows music and if he says it’s good, it’s good. Some of it might be too much for you, but that’s not the music’s fault. You just need to learn how to handle more awesomeness.

I know this is silly, but it makes me smile and a lot of folks recognize it as my avatar.
