Try reading a music review mag or hitting up a review site.
Trick is finding a/some reviewer(s) with your tastes. - Tue, 23 Sep 2003 11:37pm

just download music off soulseek (i recommend soulseek) or kazaa (kazaa sucks)
try checking reviews and stuff (if you can put up with music writers bullshit) and some across something you think you might like, download a couple songs...
a good website to check reviews is pitchforkmedia.com
