| Welcome To Austria
Well, living in this small country almost no one would notice when looking at a globe (right in the middle of europe for all of you who don't know), I noticed a lack of Austrian users (maybe I'm the only one, Idk) and more important Austrian musicians on sputnik. So I thought I could just show you some of them that could be worth your time. Oh, and if you're from Austria, Germany, Switzerland, simply if you know how to put german words into the right order, you might take a look at my website with reviews from me and my best friend: http://www.musicmaniac.at/ | | 10 | | We Walk Walls
Ceremonies
indie pop - reminds a little bit of Two Door Cinema Club and, thanks to the female voice, of The B-52's too
// Song: Curiosity Doesn't Suit You Well - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLBOX4d4Qqs | | 9 | | The Beth Edges
I Guess
indie rock - they obviously didn't reinvent the wheel, but even if you might have heard similar bands over the last decade still a nice sound
// Song: I Guess - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_p78IBU5c0 | | 8 |  | Ja, Panik
DMD KIU LIDT
indie/alt rock - I always had a little problem with the singers voice, but except for that it's nice, especially the lyrics (which might be useless for you since they are in german)
// Song: Alles Hin, Hin, Hin - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llAtJgWnd1g | | 7 |  | Falco
Falco 3
new wave/rock - maybe the only Austrian guy, who, thanks to his US-No. 1 Rock Me Amadeus, was somewhat famous outside of german speaking countries. Often with great lyrics, but I also liked his wide range of styles in his career and his put-on arrogance.
// Song: Wiener Blut - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMrwcix41sY | | 6 | | 3 Feet Smaller
December 32nd
pop punk/alt rock - one of the first pop punk bands I knew and I still get back to them from time to time, especially for December 32nd, because, altough not much punk to hear, it has a diversity not many albums in that genre have.
// Song: Reason Unknown - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RH716lhAzkk | | 5 | | Julia
Sunrise
pop punk/rock - heard one of their songs the first time last year and it instantly got to me. Slightly heavier than 6 and, although nothing new to guys familiar to the genre, damn entertaining.
// Song: Optimistic - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=akzO81gnOpw | | 4 | | 5/8erl In Ehr'n
Gut Genug Fuer Die City
jazz/soul/pop - not my territory musically, but they have such a great laid-back sound, that you just have to like them. Especially because they sing mostly in Viennese dialect.
// Song: Siasse Tschik - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbJV6eK_f1w | | 3 |  | Steaming Satellites
The Mustache Mozart Affaire
alt/space Rock - just discovered them, really like their quite special sound. Maybe a bit too much electronic at times, but their vintage sound is simply great. Big plus: I really like the voice.
// Song: The Sea - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5MUKMG3EH0 | | 2 | | Jimi D.
Fisherman's Son
folk/reggae - their aren't too many guys who know him, even here in Austria, but he became one of my favourite artists. Somehow combines Bob Marley, Jack Johnson and some minor electronic in the background with his high voice and you get this chilled sound with minimalistic, yet good, lyrics.
// Song: Hide My Heart Away - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnPn9hnyJ5c | | 1 | | Soap&Skin
Lovetunes For Vacuum
classical/electronica/pop - got hailed as the Austrian Wunderkind and she really deserves it. I listened to her debut a few weeks ago and I immediately knew it was the best record I heard until then (doesn't say too much, but still). Great piano player, great singer and she damn well knows what the word atmosphere means. // Song: Cynthia - http://www.youtube.co/watch?v=L2HEqxcz5Fk Marche Funebre - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_5877LOkq0 | |

03.01.14 | I doubt anyone cares to listen to those songs, but there might be something in there for all of you. You should really hear 1 though, it's simply perfect in all ways.
Btw, is there actually someone from Austria on sputnik. | DominionMM1
03.01.14 | G'day mate lets put another shrimp on the bahby | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | Rowan and tom | oresttt
03.01.14 | Hello neighbour, I'm from Bavaria. | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | oh austria misread that | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | Oh, Bavaria, nice, just wrote a review about Hans Söllner for my website.
Question: How does one make paragraphs in the list descriptions??????? | Ryus
03.01.14 | dammit hong that's the one thing austrians hate | oresttt
03.01.14 | Where are you living in Austria? Gonna hit the Austrian slopes next week, weeeee. | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | @ryus Nah, I'm okay with that, we aren't important enough to get recognized by some guys on the other end of the world. | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | @oresttt Vienna, so the possibility we meet when you're there are about 0%, maybe less | ZombicidalMan
03.01.14 | I mean you had a good run during the Holy Roman Empire and Wiener Schnitzel is the national dish. So it's not all bad. | oresttt
03.01.14 | Hmmmm Vienna, wonderful city. | menawati
03.01.14 | "G'day mate lets put another shrimp on the bahby"
haha Dumb and Dumber
visited Kitzbuhel once, nice, may check some of these | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | @zombi Maybe, but look at us now. I mean, we're smaller than Portugal or Hungary. But our food still rules | oresttt
03.01.14 | "Ungeachtet dessen ist Schluchtenscheißen eine Nationalsportart, die sich aber nur bei den Österreichern an Beliebtheit erfreut, weshalb sich speziell das benachbarte Deutschland oft erlaubt die Schluchtenscheißer wegen des Schluchtenscheißens als Schluchtenscheißer auf die Schippe zu nehmen."
:D | ZombicidalMan
03.01.14 | food quality usually determines my love for a country | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | then I love France | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | @zombi So your top 3 are? | menawati
03.01.14 | only food i remember from austria was sauerkraut and lots of cakes | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | funnel cakes | oresttt
03.01.14 | Du warst ned zufällig die letzten Tage ma Skifoan und kannst mir sagen wies mim Schnee ausschaut oder? | ZombicidalMan
03.01.14 | uh top 3 countries for food would be Italy, Japan, and probably Mexico. Austria's a top 10 though | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | Italy, France and Mexico | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | @oresttt Nein, sorry, kann weder Ski fahren noch Snowboarden, bin zu sehr Wiener dafür. In welche Gegend geht's eigentlich? Die Seite könnte helfen: http://www.bergfex.at/oesterreich/schneewerte/ | oresttt
03.01.14 | Denk ma Zillertal oder Kitzbühel und wenns vom Schnee her ganz übel is, dann wohl aufn Gletscher (Tux). Schau ma mal, hab die Schneeberichte noch ned gecheckt. | NordicMindset
03.01.14 | und keine eier | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | Naja, geschneit hat's glaub ich nicht sonderlich viel in den letzten Wochen, aber ich verfolg die Wetterberichte jetzt nicht wie ein Besessener. | oresttt
03.01.14 | und keine eier [2] | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | Btw, someone out there in this universe, who could answer my question: How do I get paragraphs in my descriptions?
(didn't think I was stupid enough to not know that, but obviously I thought wrong)
| Mad.
03.01.14 | You're from Austria?! Man you HAVE to see Mother's Cake live, they're absolutely insane! Can't believe they're not on this list | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | Never heard of them, gonna check them out, but I definitely won't see them live. | KrazyKris
03.01.14 | Just listened to them, don't know yet if I should think they're great or exhausting | Mad.
03.02.14 | :( they're the best thing ever
Why not see em live? | KrazyKris
03.02.14 | I know it's a crime for everyone into music, but I generally don't see anyone live. Don't like the crowds, the music is often (not always) worse than the studio work and it's pretty expensive for something I don't want to do. | KrazyKris
03.02.14 | Just in between, has anyone actually listened to any of those songs up there? | oresttt
03.02.14 | 3 is sweet. | KrazyKris
03.02.14 | Jep, ich weiß zwar nicht warum irgendwelche kritiker sagen das wär prog rock aber gut find ich's trotzdem. Könntest übrigens mal auf meiner website vorbeischauen (Sind hauptsächlich reviews von mir und meinem besten freund):
www.musicmaniac.at/ | oresttt
03.02.14 | Schau ich mir mal an. | Mad.
03.02.14 | Well Mother's Cake are ridiculously good musicians, from what I've heard on soundncloud etc of their live performances they have a huge amount of energy and it's a really awesome experience |
