Seemingly lesser-known bands you like

[Belthalmel]

Kiuas, Elvenking, Luna Mortis, Poisonblack and Charon for me.

 

[e2density]

EVERY FUCKING BAND I LISTEN TO.

[sub]you haven't heard of any of them[/sub]

Well yeah because most of us don't listen to weird music, so posting in this topic requires us to think...

I'd say my least known artist is Unknown Error. Though it's not fair since I listen to drum 'n' bass a lot.

 

[Serge A. Storms]

National Razor.

 

[GQSmoos]

agalloch

 

[Pete Oddly]

Bomb the Music Industry!
Arrogant Sons of Bitches
A Class Act

[Superhyperactiveman]

The Posh Monkies. I know for a fact that less than 200 people have heard of them, because I'm the lead singer, and we've only played for about that many people collectively. (I.E. In total.)

For some reason i feel this is relevant.

 

[Skeleon]

Blue Öyster Cult.
Now you're probably going to say "They're not lesser-known!" but around here they really are.

 

[Bat Vader]

Nightwish, Flogging Molly, The Drop Kick Murphys, Plushgun, Most of the artists from digitally imported and Pandora.

Heard of them all except Plushgun. They all rock. (just looked up Plushgun, they're very good.)

The person who got me into these bands was my sister's boyfriend. All except Nightiwsh, that was a college roommate who get me into Nightwish.

I guess most people in upper north of Michigan where I live do not listen to Flogging Molly or DKM much.

 

[thebobmaster_v1legacy]

Stabbing Westward. They didn't last long, but "Darkest Days" is a great album.

 

[Tinneh]

Colour Haze is a cool jam band
Check out their Cds Tempel and their eponymous album
Also Clutch has a sweet blues-rock sound
The Beatles, theres more there than All You Need Is Love and Yellow Submarine
and if you're an emo out there, stop listening to Eleanor Rigby YOU ARE RUINING IT

WOOHOO CLUUUUUTCH! 8D

These guys are BARELY obscure, but, none of my friends have heard of them; Blind Guardian and Symphony X

 

[Tinneh]

I don't know about the other guy but i said it because I'm tired of people who became Beatles fans after they saw across the universe and the only songs they know are all you need is love and yellow submarine, I can't tell you how many people I've met like that and it pisses me off

Did you make an account just to say that?

 

[Tinneh]

SikTh. Very obscure and underrated British Tech metal outfit, now posthumous releases circulate from them. A unique sound varying from their off time riffage, melodic vocalists (there are two), and the nature of their lyrics; tackling topics such as unrequited love and estrangement form nature. They broke up right after this album dropped, which is a shame. They could have grew into so much more.

Bitter as a pint of piss.

It was good until the vocals kicked in

 

[Cowabungaa]

Kula Shaker and Streetlight Manifesto come to mind. Especially Kula Shaker, at least I've encountered some fellow Streetlight fans here.

 

[Revolutionary]

(See avatar)
They used to be smaller but after their last album.....grr
I hate them now they are mainstream............LOL not

 

[The Infinite]

SikTh.

Holy crap I forgot all about them, I know absolutely no-one that knows this band. Too bad about them breaking up.

OT: Powerglove, Ed Harrison (ok not technically a band but needs more recognition.), Habib Koite and Bamada, Coal Chamber, Spiritualized
