Non-Metal Bands that tune to D standard?

[alex73013]

I'm trying to find some non-metal bands that tune to D standard? I've been tuning to D standard lately just to try something new to inspire me. I was tuned to open G and I really liked playing power chords with low strings tuned to D and G string.

i dont have any recordings but i used to play in D std in a trio. added weight to the music and made it easier on the vocals. loved it all around. had a strat running 12-60 that sounded massive

Far from an all encompassing list, but it's a good place to start.

I love D standard. I was friggin fed up with plinkity plunking around in E. I NEED TONE. Here's a D standard song that definitely isn't metal. I hope it's not too emo for you.

I think if there isn't a lot of people who do it, then it is a good time to start. Changing tunings like this (and doning things that aren't common) is how new musical forms are made. I say, go for it.
