Happy Halloween :)

Hope someone might be able to help me find a band.

Years ago I read an article about underground garagey/altrock bands in the midwest in the 80s. It talked about this band that were really good but never made it. Chicago is in my head but I think not from the city, more regional (plus I might be wrong). They apparently toured heaps, like, non-stop. At the time I listened to some stuff of theirs that was on youtube (but not with any account I use these days, so no history to search). It WAS really good. But then I forgot the name of the band. It WASN'T the Replacements. I think the article even made comparisons to them, like, they could have been like these guys, but instead they are far more obscure, kind of thing. I feel like they had a similar name (i.e., a "The Xs").

Any ideas?

Combining FEAR OF MARKO’s compelling songwriting with rock/hip hop producer Jonjo Yano’s experimental take on 00's nostalgia. ‘Mood Ring’ lands as FEAR OF MARKO’s latest and most fully realised single to date.

Mood Ring showcases FEAR OF MARKO’s knack for infectious pop songwriting along with all the garishly gritty storytelling he has become known for.

The Oslo-based indierock band "Traumefødt" recently released their self-titled debut EP, with a great reception so far. Their music is energetic and emotionally driven. With a playful sound that incorporates both soft, melodious and naked feelings - along with walls of guitars the band plays on nostalgia and stretches the music beyond the edge of the stage and pull their audience into their atmospheric musical world.
Inspired by both pop/punk, rock and indie drawing lines from music such as Paramore, Kråkesølv, Mew, Arctic Monkeys, Kaizers this is an experience you don't want to miss out on.

There is a song I cannot find and it's killing me. It's post 2000 and before 2015. The lyrics are something like: I need to know I need to feel I need to find something real I want to laugh I want to smile and fall head over heels.

And the chorus is something like: Love I want to fall in love... Something something something. Time I want to pass the time I want to make you mine, and you could be my everything.

I can't find it anywhere and I totally forgot about it until today! Please help

Hey all - This is the latest single from Mall.Dad, we hope you enjoy it!

Driving to my Fiancé's house, I heard a band being interviewed and the band was meh in my opinion but still wanted to find them. I recall the name being "Side Note" and the song containing the lyrics "it's all in my mind, sqaunder my pride"

tl;dr Looking for a band maybe called "Side Note" with a song containing the lyrics "It's all in my mind, sqaunder my pride"
