Heaven Shall Burn (Melodic Hardcore/Death Metal)
Really awesome german band whose themes are anti-racism and fighting social injustice.

 

[Peach_hat]

The Fak.
Adelaide music represent.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

if we're talking bands that I like, Chaindriven and Drist come to mind.

 

[NekoDaimyo]

I have yet to find someone who's heard of the Super Sonic Soul Pimps, other than the guy that introduced me to them in junior high.

 

[Epic_Rocker]

I dunno... I haven't met a single Canadian who's heard of Matchbox Twenty. *shrug*

I infact am a Canadian who knows many fellow Canadians who know who Matchbox Twenty is xP

I don't really know any incredibly small bands... I set my friends on fire? But they got big...

So the guy I saw at PAX last year was an evil twin?

 

[SmartIdiot]

Don't Feed the Pigeons.

Supposed to be ska but all the members are total metal heads. Hurts my head every time I think about it.

Ska should be burned.

Yet to meet a soul that has heard of The Birthday Massacre.

... Maybe that's because I'm antisocial...

Meh.

Aiden.
If you are feeling suicidal, don't listen to it, cause it'll only make the situation worse for you...THAT'S how bad this band is.

They are atrocious.

Agoraphobic Nosebleed, no one would tolerate them anyway.

Depends if you define obscure as someone that not many have heard of or obscure sounding.

Skimming down iTunes, here are some that have an obscure/unique sound that I feel is of exceptionally high quality.

Tom Waits (post SwordfishTrombones. It's good before then, but less inventive)
Tool
Venetian Snares
Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band
Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip (check out Thou Shalt Always Kill)
Aphex Twin
Efterklang
Gunther & The Sunshine Girls (no)

Just listen to my radio show sometime. I play mega loads.

Amesoeurs had their self titled album leaked not to long ago and it is absolutely awesome.

[CapnGod]

Amy MacDonald, a Scottish singer-songwriter who's had some success in Europe, but no one in the US knows her.

I'm a chauffeur, and got to drive her and her band. They are really nice people. Wound up with her cd before it released in the states, too. She's pretty good, actually.

This being a gamer forum, I might be wrong, but I've never meant anyone who has heard of these guys: Trocadero.

Which sadens me a lot, because I think their music is bloody AWESOME! Maybe they are already mentioned, but I don't think people will blame me for not watching the entire thread through.

 

[ElderScribe]

Goodspeed! You Black Emperor is probably the most obscure band that i actually listen too.

leamon deamon

I love that band! Geek music when it is best!

 

[Xvito]

I'm not sure if it's an obscure band, but how many of you guys here have ever heard of Crystal Caravan?

 

[stiver]

and old Brazillian metal band Overdose

 

[VladmirL]

Good band from the early 90's, Overwhelming Colorfast. It seems as if no one's ever heard of them except me and a teacher of mine, and its coverage on the internet is minimal.

 

[Castratikron]

Dr. Acula an amazing grindcore band whose sing titles are all names of goosebumps books

 

[Deathkingo]

Trollkhotze!!! They are friggin' epic!!

 

[Knife-28]

Grinspoon.
They come from my home town btw.
