hey anyone know any chinese rock bands?

i love Sliver ash!!!!!!!!! and i've also heard of a band called X-trees, anyone know anything about x trees and/or other c-bands?

 
The grandfather of C-Rock Cui Jian is one of my favorite artists. Some songs to try: A Piece of Red Cloth, Rock On New Long March, and Nothing to My Name.
 
Well, these groups are more Hong Kong or Taiwan-based, but I've always liked the music of Mayday and Black Box... although they're somewhat softer rock music, like the style of Spitz in the J-Pop world.

And I second the recommendation on Cui Jian... great stuff!

 
And of course there's the lovely girls from Hang on the Box from Beijing.
They're on the Benten label.
 
I just heard hang on the box, they are cute! XD the accent is extremly heavy hehe ^___^
 
I just bought Huang Li Tsi (Stanley) 's Shades of my Mind from YesAsia. It's more rap than rock, but still quite rocky.

A Hong Kong friend of mine often recommended I try LMF (Light M***** F****r), but I can't remember if they are rock or rap.

Tbh, not much music I've heard from HK is beyond the pop genre, it's a kind of rut that the Cantonese artists have got into. You might find different, it's hard to know exactly what there is out there when you can't read cantonese.
 
hmmm...I can't really say I listen to much C-rock....but i have to second the motion of Silver Ash! They rock!! XDDD

Hmmm... if I'm remembering correctly, LMF is definitely rap-oriented music.
 
i've heard chinese rap and its, well, weird. lol no offense. i believe that there are more cantonse rap bands than rock.
 
true Chinese rap and pop is weird...although I have heard the weirdest frorm of rap is like...Islamic Rap
 
.........................................................

i like chinese pop, well some of it lol
 
ehh... I think Korean pop is better then chinese pop but I still have to say japan has the best music in general. Korea is improving with bands like The Trax and Nell
 
i dont really listen to chinese pop, but the ones i heard are pretty ok lol i like the MVs lol the animation in good ^~
 
o yes! yes! i got myself two of Silver ahs's albums! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Lunar eclipse and Silver Ash XDDDDDDDDDDD WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 
Really? Do they rock lots?

I really got kind of interested in Ping Pung. Their vocalist is female and they are from Hong Kong.
 
o never heard of them.

yes the ablums do rock lots XD
 
XD yey!

They are new. i only have one song by them but its good. I think its called "Killer her", yes kill her that is right.
 
lol yay! kill her! muahahaha

i thought i might see you pop up on this thread!
i am still waiting for my albums to arrive from hong kong so i can not confirm or deny whether they are any good...but they have a song called 'kill your belly' so they must rock (i have actually heard it and it is as funny as hell - the video makes it funny).
 
well its not C-rock, but C-pop

and for sure my fav, and the only one i know, is Jay Chow, aka wonderchild

he has such a beautiful voice, and the songs he make have a great beat. i would recomend to everyone to listen to it!!!
here's a torrent:

Thank you very much, DB! I haven't listened to any C-music at all... I need to hear...
 
I've been getting more into Chinese music lately. I haven't heard much rock, because I couldn't find any in that genre (perhaps due to loss in interest and governmental controls? wiki), although I think the first track on Alan Kuo's self-titled album was a very beautiful rock number. Typically, I find Chinese vocals very top-notch and obviously showing serious training. I've heard some very strong and tight compositions. Also, their use of English lyrics and pronunciation is often not as careless as in some other cases I've seen... I really don't see what's "weird" about Chinese music at all.

Currently, I'm loving Tanya Chua's Amphibian album, which is alternative mellow (adult?) pop.

I'm also getting into K-Rock. Seo Taiji, despite being seen as the best of K-Rock, doesn't really fascinate me- I'm not big on (pop)-punk-rock sounds or vocals reminiscent of (pop)-punk-rock. But Nell, on the other hand, is pretty good.
 
i like F.I.R and mayday =)
and Jay Chou =)
 
check out Renyuu, he is quite good, i only have one song tho, but one song enough for me to like someone lol
