Bands people don't seem to know about.

Ram Jam!

Would have been a cooler video if you put up Black Betty.

Modest Mouse
Brand New

Yeah, but everybody knows that song, so I didn't feel that it counted.

You'd be surprised...

 

[General Ken8]

Well, there's this one band called brokeNCYDE. . . nah I'll spare you all from that joke this time
I REALLY hope some of you know who Anti-Flag is, and I'm referring mostly to their older stuff that's five times better, like this:

Ram Jam!




Reverend Horton Heat!


Annihilator!

Reverend Horton Heat is amazing, I agree more people should hear their music

Here's a 70's band I bet none of you have heard of. "Major Hoople's Boarding House" From Kitchener, Ontario. They only had 1 hit called "I'm running after you". It was huge in Canada. If you google them there's almost nothing about them.

I've heard of Mott the Hoople, but yeah. Who the hell is that?!

There's a band called Turbowolf, they sound roughly like a mix between Cancer Bats and Mastodon. I think they've just been touring with Korn, so they're slightl more well-known than I thought. But they are indeed awesome, amd not in the look-at-me-I'm-so-alternative way, just the really really awesome way.

In an effort to keep this alive, The Sword. Great Metal band, especially for those who hate screamo, black metal, etc. and just want some heavy riffs and cool soloing.

 

[Virus49]

Breaking benjamin. Yet to have a friend who has heard of em...

 

[Red Right Hand]

OT: My acquaintances don't seem to have heard of Modest Mouse.

Modest Mouse are brilliant. King Rat is fantastic,


EDIT: Leadbelly. Fucking Leadbelly.

I'm talking about those bands that you can't talk about with other people because they don't know them. Keep in mind that I'm referring to real life conversations, not internet conversations.

One band that I have a hard time finding fans for is Radio Moscow. Not a lot of people in my area seem to know them, but they're awesome. A great mix of blues and psychedelic rock. Modern too, I might add.

Got bands like this?

Highly awesome I might say...
Not many of my friends have heard about Children of Bodom... or even Pink Floyd... blasphemy, that's all I say!

Bodom, I can understand. Didn't know about them until GH5, I can say I'm not a fan.

But PINK-FUCKING-FLOYD? Torches and Pitchforks!!!!

My point exactly my friend...

 

[Z(ombie)fan]

Huzzah! Another reason to post a Closure In Moscow and Vangough song! And I'll throw in some Polkadot Cadaver for the hell of it.

Spoiler: Closure in Moscow

Spoiler: Vangough

Spoiler: Polkadot Cadaver

Three of my favorite bands ever, and they both need much more exposure.

I could list hundreds more (not exaggerating), but I'll leave it at these three.

EDIT: Going to throw some Emilie Autumn in here too.

Spoiler: Emilie Autumn

Ive heard of vangough.

they did a badass Wily 1/2 remix.

 

[Outright Villainy]

Sort of Ironic really: Loads of my friends love the same kind of obscure metal I do, and would definitely give it a try, but none of my friends share my love of Pearl Jam.

 

[Nouw]

Rhapsody (Of Fire) and even less is Luca Turilli

 

[lithiumvocals]

Double post, my bad.

But Pearl Jam is awesome...

Speaking of which, anyone else think that Eddy Vedder looks a bit like Jesus?

Tom.Fucking.Waits.

Spoiler

Nobody talks about him these days.Because everyone sucks.

Aside from his Heart of Saturday Night album (an absolutely fantastic album, might I add), I can't stand Tom Waites. My friends love everything he does though, and I've got to give credit where its due. His lyrical capabilities are nearly unmatched.

*Snip of my videos*

Yeah, Vangough's second album, Game On!, is an album of video game covers, which while its not all that uncommon these days, I personally think Vangough does it significantly better than most bands. If the album had vocals, it'd probably be the perfect album.

I think he is really good at music, but i find it hard to get into him.

Where Tom Waits really shines is in his lyrics. Possibly the best musical poet since the Beatles, and that's coming from someone who doesn't really care for any of the musicians mentioned.

If you want to hear a really good lounge-style/nightclub musician, you won't get much better than Tom Waits "Heart of Saturday Night" album. Anything else, you're really going to have to acquire a taste for, as a critic once put it, a voice "like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car". He completely ruined his vocal cords (though some would say that it improved his music. I'm not one of them).

Oingo Boingo, I have only ever found one other person that has ever heard of them.
