Seemingly lesser-known bands you like

[Cockney_Jesus]

Most bands I listen to.

Los Campesinos!
Art Brut
Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

to name three!

 

[Lester.]

Most people in my country haven't heard of Oasis, nor the Stone Roses. Inspiral Carpets too.

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

The Chronicles of Israfel. As far as I know, pretty much no one else I know has heard of them.

(Listen to Starborn Part III)

[Dufaunce]

I'll deep in the cold ground before I read through 8 pages to see in someone else has already posted mine.

Ayreon

Not a band as such more of a project by Arjen Anthonny Lucesson.

 

[FirsstormGojkilp]

I've heard of Nightwish, they're amazing! And I'm pretty sure that they're one of the better known Finnish bands...

 

[ShareableTie]

I guarantee most people don't know this wonderful band.

This

And Arkona, perhaps Eluveitie, Turisas, Battlelore, Combichrist and Infected mushroom.
None of my kith (except for one i might add) has ever heard of any of these bands, but I truly wonder if any of those are.. well, mainstream.

And Keep of Kalessin (spelling?) one of the contenders in the norwegian "Melodi grand Prix"

 

[Frenger]

The Chameleons (UK), I dare you!

Coz I can't imbed youtube clips.

 

[Daffy F]

A band called 'sparks' Anybody ever hear of them? They are quite funny. Other than that I mostly like metal :]

 

[DominicxD]

Most people in my country haven't heard of Oasis, nor the Stone Roses. Inspiral Carpets too.

Did you honestly just post "Oasis" in a lesser known bands thread?

WE GET IT

YOU LIKE GOTHIC 2 AND OASIS

MOVE ON.

;P

 

[ElTigreSantiago]

Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip

"The Beat That My Heart Skipped" has never left my head.

On topic, I hate to even say anything, lest I be angrily informed of how famous they are. But where I live, nobody listens to anything but crappy mainstream music. I know there is an Escapist or two that's a fan of Electric Wizard, but if you were to ask random people on the street if they have heard of them, they will probably say no.

 

[Acier]

Them Terribles
Murder By Death
The Antlers
Sondre Lerche

And no one I know listens to the Pixies. But they shouldn't be obscure. Damn Kids.

 

[CopperBoom]

I would have to say, The Beatles.
Though they just had a game about them released, so I would say they are on the up and up.

o.0 Dear God I hope you're being sarcastic, lol.

Hmm... yes. I guess I should have paid for that sarcastic icon.

...that was sarcastic to, by the by.

Haha for a minute i thought that said "Battles is shit"! Their performance of Atlas on Later! (the link that i posted) was the first time i ever saw them. But yeah, Tonto is definitely their best song (and my favourite song ever). Their new album is on its way, i heard a few of their new songs though and.....it's iffy.
