There is a guy who posts to MeFi Music that is really similar to Brad Sucks.

The next album will be coming out soon, I think, which is the best way for more "like" Brad Sucks. What about the music do you like? What component of the music do you want more of?

NDc, it looks like frenetic IS BradSucks (dum dum DUM!), though I could be missing something there.

I believe i like his overall sound, i guess i also like that like buzzing computerish noise? like blurring? Im not a music person so i dont know what any of the terminology is... Yeah i guess thats it a nice mix between good singing/computer generated noise.

Eraclare, frenetic is indeed BradSucks (and he says so in one of is Music posts). I think all you are missing is sarcasm. (Not intended to be Snarky. I didn't get it at first either.

So, thesonofmorgoth you could memail him. Have you tried Pandora?

Wooo. I want to give a helpful answer but I'm probably exactly the wrong guy to say. I have no idea who I sound like.

I can tell you though that people often tell me I sound like Beck, John Vanderslice or Folk Implosion. To the point where I feel kinda weird about it.

Maybe someone more objective will answer!

I was actually just coming in here to suggest Beck.

I think you should check out the Dandy Warhols.

See? I knew it: I WAS missing something.
You might also try some of the Dandy Warhols. Their style ranges all over, but a few songs fit into my Brad Sucks mix quite well.

If it's computer noises and singing that you like, I'd recommend Havergal.

Dear Frenetic...you're awesome! I've listened to SOS like one billion times. Thanks.

You're not still reading this, but I always "pictured" Brad Sucks's music as being Soundgarden with electronic beeps and boops.

Since I absolutely love Soundgarden and absolutely love bleeps and bloops, Brad Sucks is my favorite artist, right now.

Beck really is closest to what you're asking for, but I don't know anyone who blends straight-ahead rock with electronica and does the lyrics as well as Brad Sucks (and isn't a member of some scary cult). He really is ground-breaking in that sense.

No pressure on your second album. Sorry.
