Besides challenging you academically, college affords students the opportunity to experiment with their own interests that may not always seem practically applicable to the real world. But sometimes, with the right mix of people, talent and ambition, college can be the perfect breeding ground for true art and even international success and fame. These ten bands started in college, but ended up playing for millions of fans all over the world. R.E.M.: American musical group R.E.M. began achieving success in the 1980s, and by the end of the decade, had established themselves as more than just a cult rock band with major hits like "The One I Love" and "Shiny Happy People." Once named "America’s Best Rock & Roll Band" by Rolling Stone, R.E.M. was founded in Athens, GA, in 1980, by lead vocalist Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck. Stipe and Buck quickly recruited other students from the University of Georgia, bass guitarist Mike Mills and drums and percussion player Bill Berry. Their first show was at a friend’s birthday party, but they soon dropped out of college to go on tour in the South and record an album.MGMT: MGMT’s "psychedelic pop" sound — coined by David Marchese of Spin — originated during low-key jam sessions at Wesleyan University. Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden teamed up during their freshman year and played on campus until they graduated in 2005. The now-Brooklyn-based MGMT — first known as The Management — began touring, and in 2006, they signed with Columbia Records. Their first big album Oracular Spectacular was instantly a hit on college campuses, in clubs and in Europe.Radiohead: Another 1990s-era rock band that has continued to enjoy critical and commercial success is Radiohead. The band was formed in 1985 when Thom Yorke, Colin Greenwood, Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway were attending an all-boys school in Oxfordshire, England. At the time, the band was called "On a Friday," and the members stuck together on weekends and over holidays when they returned home from university. During a show at the Jericho Tavern in Oxfordshire, Radiohead’s present manager Chris Hufford heard them play and agreed to produce a demo tape for them. They signed a six-album record deal in 1991.Better Than Ezra: Although not as widely known as Radiohead or R.E.M., Better Than Ezra is a popular southern rock band among college students and New Orleans-area music lovers. Better Than Ezra was formed in 1988 at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. Kevin Griffin, Joel Rundell, Tom Drummond and Cary Bonnecaze released their first official album in 1989 called Surprise, but a year later, lead guitarist Joel Rundell committed suicide. After a break, the band reunited and eventually had a number-one hit on the Hot Modern Rock Charts in 1995.The Strokes: When The Strokes broke onto the music scene in the late 90s and early 2000s, rock fans greatly appreciated their bare-bones approach to old-fashioned rock’n'roll guitar music. Band members Julian Casablancas, Nick Valensi, Albert Hammond Jr., Nikolai Fraiture and Fabrizio Moretti released Is This It in 2001, but they had known each other in some way since their prep school days in New York and Switzerland, where Casablancas was sent because of drinking problems and where he met Hammond. The band formed when Hammond moved from Switzerland to NYU and rented an apartment with Casablancas. They began playing at bars and clubs on the Lower East Side and released the U.S. version of Is This It after recording a UK version.Styx: Some of the best cheesy party music includes Styx [...]Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:46:00 +0000
System of a Down (commonly referred to as System or abbreviated as SOAD) is an Armenian-American rock- metal band, formed in 1994 in Glendale, California. Consisting of Serj Tankian (lead vocals and keyboards), Daron Malakian (vocals and guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass), and John Dolmayan (drums), the band has released five albums since 1998. A staple on mainstream rock radio, their works have earned them three Grammy Award nominations, of which they won one.System of a Down is very politically active (Although they prefer to call themselves a socially aware band) and are noted for the liberal political views expressed in their songs, tackling several subjects including the Armenian Genocide, War on Drugs, religion, and censorship. The band is a part of the Axis of Justice, a non-profit organization co-founded by Tankian and fellow musician Tom Morello, dedicated to bringing together musicians, music fans, and grassroots political organizations to fight for social justice.In 2006, the group went on an "indefinite hiatus", and all four members are currently working on various side projects.Style and influencesThe stylistic variety and level of experimentation in System of a Down's music has made it difficult to describe. Though they have evolved their sound with each album, System of a Down has, for the most part, maintained a single style throughout their body of work. This style mixes elements and influences from a wide variety of genres such as alternative rock, punk rock, folk music, psychedelic rock, classic metal, symphonic metal, thrash metal, funk metal and progressive rock. Even some electronic influences can be heard in songs such as "Old School Hollywood." This has made them difficult to categorize, prompting the press to describe them with several different genre handles, among them alternative metal, hard rock,nu metal and progressive metal.The band has used a wide range of instruments, including electric mandolins, baritone electric guitars, acoustic guitars, ouds, sitars and twelve string guitars. Furthermore, a variety of keyboards and synthesizers have been used on live shows. Drop C tuning was used exclusively on the first three albums, with later records mostly relying on drop C# tuning. Their vocal style has also remained fairly consistent over the years. The band frequently used alternating vocals, switching between near screaming followed by softer singing. Also, many of the same harmony and chord structures are frequently utilized in vocals in their songs, giving them a distinct sound.The band has cited Middle Eastern music as one of its influences and mentioned on several accounts that they appreciate The Beatles and Kiss. On their own style, Odadjian said: "I don't think we sound like anybody else. I consider us System of a Down." and Dolmayan stated "You can compare us to whoever you want. I don't care. Comparisons and labels have no effect on this band. Fact is fact: We are who we are and they are who they are.[...]Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:45:00 +0000
