There are obviously two bands named Also
1) ALSO is an indie/alternative rock band from Los Angeles, founded 2003 and still active to present.
2) Also is an inactive Gothic band from Germany that self-released cassette tapes and were featured on some reputable underground Goth samplers in the early 90s.
1) ALSO from Los Angeles, CA, is an alternative/indie-rock band founded in 2003 by vocalist/songwriter Drew Conrad, bassist Mark Zelen and drummer Scotland Stephenson. Despite being an unsigned and self-releasing band their latest 2011 release “Music Belongs in the Background” has charted on the trend-setting CMJ Top 200, the premiere chart for alternative artists in the US and Canada. In August 2011 Emvy joined the ranks on keyboards, mellotron and effects which expanded the line-up to a four-piece.
ALSO have committed themselves to today’s “Do-It-Yourself”-attitude, they release and record their music on their own bill and it can be purchased at download platforms such as iTunes, Bandcamp, Amazon or as physical copy on the website of the mail-order company cdbaby.com.
Their music is described by fans as “witty alternative rock” with a clear focus on lyrics of true-to-life subject matters “aimed towards rock fans that like to think and be challenged with themes that dig pretty deep.” Their sound roots in British as well as American rock music culture. Bloggers, fans and critics alike compared them to The Smiths, Elbow, Jeff Buckley, The National or post-punk bands like Echo and the Bunnymen, The Church or Joy Division.

Hey Rod. Nice to see you here. I am the same way - I get a kind of jolt from so called melancholic music. I get this from ALSO which is why they are one of my favorite newer bands. Welcome!

Found out about Also from a rec. on the Tindersticks shoutbox. Only heard Music Belongs In The Background (listening on Spotify) and loving it so far. It's melancholic but I never find this style of music depressing, like Tindersticks it's genuinely uplifting to me. God that sound so Emo but you know what I mean. Great band and I'm psyched to check out more by them. I'd definitely suggest checking out I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness if you're into this kinda stuff, also She Wants Revenge might do it for you.
