Contemporary means that there are still activities now

1. Wannian Youth Hotel

Wannian Youth Hotel is a band from Shijiazhuang, several members like it All kinds of music styles, from psychedelic to back garage and so on. The first album was originally planned very early, but due to the psychological problems of the lead singer Dong Yaqian, it encountered difficulties in delivery. Finally, there is this "Universal Youth Hotel" album by Yefa Steel. Compared with other underground bands, the melody is more beautiful, especially the blind addition of trumpet, which gives the song a new element. The lyricist Ji Geng is a university teacher. Although the lyricists of China's underground bands love poetry but generally have low educational levels, Ji Geng's lyrics have written many things that others cannot see or write.

There is only one album, and the first song is worth listening to. Recommended "Big Rock Broken Chest", "Qinhuangdao", "One Hundred Thousand Hippies" and "Kill That Shijiazhuang Man"

2. Buyi Band

Buyi Band is a band that has always been from Yinchuan, Ningxia. Their music combines the wild wind of the northwest and is rough and heroic, but it definitely lacks rock elements and sounds earthy and heroic. Wu Ningyue, the home player, has a very distinctive voice. The addition of guzheng in the arrangement gives their songs an elegance that is not found in traditional northwest ballads. This band has been around for a long time, has many works, and is both lyrical, bold, and warm.

Recommended tracks: "Autumn", "Three Peaks", "Sansanlipu", "Mutton Noodles"

3. Painful Faith

Relatively speaking, pain I don't know much about this band. In the early days, this band was a hard-core rap group with lead singer Gao Hu as the core. In its later years, the members became older and no longer so radical. The "Journey Songs" collected from all over the country in the album "Don't Stop My Music" have their own merits. , very listenable, and subsequent music generally continued this style. Due to his early experience in rap music, the songs he sang have a rhythm that is difficult for other bands to imitate.

Recommended tracks: "Goodbye Jack", "West Lake", "Anyang", "Pokhara"

4. Escape Plan

This is a band keen on British rock music The band is also the one with the least underground flavor among the underground bands. There are few radical words in their lyrics. Perhaps the four young men staring at the pot heads just want to sing well. There is no doubt that everyone in the underground music scene loves music, but Escape Plan seems to know less about other things. Therefore their music is simpler. "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky" won last year's best single award.

Recommended tracks: "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky", "Is this Love", "Take Me Away"

5. Low Absinthe

Low Absinth The band comes from Lanzhou, Gansu Province, a major independent music town in China. The members have changed several times and now have the current band lineup. Low Absinthe is the name of a plant, and the band named it to illustrate their desire to be closer to the earth. Lead singer Liu Kun loves The Doors and Wild Child. Often adding some northwest experimental elements to the music. Handbells, waist drums and even toy guns... have become increasingly popular after the release of the "Lanzhou Lanzhou" album.

Recommended tracks: "Lanzhou Lanzhou", "Red and Black", "Little Flower", "Xuan"

----------------- --------------------------

Personally, I would like to recommend another wild child band, but first of all, their Northwest flavor is a bit It's too strong, and then Xiao Suo died. It's hard to say whether Zhang Quan, Guo Long, and Zhang Weiwei's wild children are still the wild children before, so I put them here.

I did it all by myself, it’s just a family opinion, it’s just PIA.
