Five Rock Bands For the Depressed

Have you ever felt like screaming or shouting out loud when feeling lonely, sad or depressed? Or do you just want to listen to some soothing music that might make you feel better and happier? Or do you just want an output for all your sorrows?

Here are a list of bands that are a must-listen-to when depressed, sad, lonely or when you are just not feeling well. Most bands follow a specific genre and style so most of their music should accomplish similar mood effects. The following are not arranged in any order.


Linkin Park. Ever tried shouting your sadness out? Scream out with Linkin Park as you listen to their old albums: Meteora, Hybrid theory, and Reanimation. Or if you feel more like listening to softer music that are lonely, you will want to listen to Minutes to Midnight. Linkin Park has evolved from hard rock and hip hop to a mix of alternative and rock. Every release of their album, the band tries out something new to take their musicality up a higher level. But each song has its similarities: they are songs that are taken from emotions deep inside the heart and then spilled out in the form of music. So if you want to just spill everything out, listen to this band.

Disturbed. If exerting your anger makes you feel better, then Disturbed is the band you should listen to. The loud guitars and rhythmic drums will definitely drive you into forcing your feelings out. Disturbed is a metal rock band that is very good at music that can make the listener feel how the song "feels." Shout, Hell, Inside the fire, Down with the sickness, Stricken, and Indestructible are just some of the band's songs that take out that very lonely feeling and replace it with adrenaline rush.

The Used. Emotional bands are now very popular. So if making yourself listen to lonely, sad and gloomy songs makes you feel better then crank up your radio's volume then prepare yourself for a barrage of emo-core songs from The Used. This emo band specializes, of course, in emotional
songs. The Used is the band for the broken hearted. If that loneliness, sadness and depression is caused by someone you love, then listen to The Used's All that I've got, Let it Bleed and the Taste of Ink. The Used even has scream-o songs that are definitely going to drive your loneliness away. "If you feel like dying, you might want to sing."

Switchfoot. If you are the person who would rather listen to songs that have this feel-good mood then listening to this Christian Rock band will help you in your depressed state. Christian songs are always known to lift up the heart. This band does that really well. One of the best songs of Switchfoot that are really a must-listen-to are: Dare you to Move, Gone, Meant to live, Stars, You, On Fire and Oh! Gravity. And of course, don't forget to visit your local church.

Nickelback. Do you love love songs? If love songs make your mood shoot from rock bottom to sky high, then Nickelback's songs are the ones for you. This band's songs will definitely make anyone feel blissful because of its happy and lively mood. If you are just broken out of love or just simply lonely, listening to Nickelback will turn your rain clouds to bright blue skies. Among their best songs are: Photograph, How You Remind Me, Gotta Be Somebody, If Everyone Cared and Far Away. And for those seeking love, as one of their song says: "there's gotta be somebody for me like that."

Always remember, the answer to depression and sadness will never be alcohol or drugs. Listen to the right kind of music and you will feel better.
