ITT you post the most obscure band you can think of and see if anyone recognizes it.

[Housebroken Lunatic]

Having a target audience at all is bad imo, make music you want to make, something that expresses you. Trying to cater to someone else ruins it.

Which pretty much excludes all bands except for those playing Black Metal and Grindcore.

 

[Florion]

Doug and the Slugs
Bryan Adams
Starship/Jefferson Starship
Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Co-burn)
Men Without Hats
Prism




(yay Canada)

I recognize Bruce Cockburn because they played his music basically all of Canada Day. And Bryan Adams, my boyfriend likes him so I have heard maybe one song by him, the title of which I no longer remember. I'm awful.

Does of Montreal count as obscure?
Or Rajaton?
Ariane Moffatt?
Alexandre Desilets?

steel panthers any one ?
and ive not heard any of the bands above me lol

DEATH TO ALL BUT METAL!!

Truthfully, and I may be OT here, but I don't know how anyone can listen to metal... It just hurts my head. And yes, I am apparently a 60 year old woman.

 

[Jovlo]

And the award for obscure band with the most ridiculously long name goes to:


Thee Silver Mount Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band


You might have heard of them, if not, here's their wikipedia entry.

[G1eet]

Ruckus!

 

[Generator]

Uh... How about the Republic Tigers? They're not bad.

Probot was cool, too. One of Dave Grohl's side projects, which has a lot of well-known guest vocalists, but no one I ask seems to have heard of them.

 

[A Weary Exile]

The Secret Chiefs 3, they mix middle-eastern music with metal.
Here's a couple videos:

Not really, if you just make music for yourself and don't care about what other people would think then it's all good. On the other hand if you attempt to make something people won't like on purpose you're again doing it wrong. And Black Metal is p. good bro, same with Grindcore.

You've just never really taken the time to sit down and listen to it imo, if you really want to try and get into metal shoot me a PM.

I checked out Diablo Swing Orchestra just now because how do you NOT investigate something called "Diabloe Swing Orchestra." Thank you very much. I am enjoying Balrog Boogie.

Angelzoom
Anders manga
Northern kings (At least one other person on here has heard of them)

My pleasure. Being introduced to/introducing others to amazing music is a joyful experience.
Balrog Boogie is music for setting things on fire. And causing general havoc.
