Share your unknown bands.

[KefkaCultist]

One of my things is that I love finding relatively unknown bands from Youtube or some other service like that and sharing them with people, so thats what this thread is for. If there's a band you like that isn't very well know or even if you have your own band then post them here for others to hear.

Anyway, I have two band recommendations: Climhazzard and The Epilogues.

Spoiler: Climhazzard

This metal band is great. Found them through Youtube a while ago while watching videos of their guitarist, Garret Peters, cover some amazing guitar solos. Here's a few songs.

Spoiler: The Epilogues

This alternative rock band is more known than Climhazzard is, but I don't think they get the recognition that they deserve. I found The Epilogues through Black Box TV when a couple of their songs were used in some episodes.

Well there ya go. If you like either of the bands I've posted then please support them (DON'T PIRATE!). If you're interested, I think Climhazzard is still offering their EP as a free download from their myspace page.

So yeah, share your stuff.

By order of the Ugoslavian prime Minister, the People will see this thread!

Also, heres a Greek metal band called Inactive Messiah:

Spoiler: Inactive Messiah

I'm not sure of their popularity in Greece, but I'm pretty sure they're mostly unheard of in the States.

He is Legend- Maybe if more people buy their albums they will come back.

I like it, kinda sounds like a heavier version of Black Stone Cherry.

 

[Lilani]

The Twelve Girls Band. I have only met two other people who also know of them.

Fun fact, a friend of my friend went to highschool with BSC. When they came to WI I got to sit and drink with them after a gig for a while.

Anyways if you like the southern theme check out Stampede by them too. The band has a lot of different styles but eventually I learned to love it all.

Here ya go.

Edit: Definitely not for everyone. Just a little warning.

 

[Arsen]

Riverside. Great progressive rock-metal band from Poland.

Combine a little inspiration from Pink Floyd, Opeth, King Crimson, and Porcupine Tree. I do not know how to link videos, but trust me when I say if you enjoy music you should look them up. They DESERVE fame.

 

[BodomBeachChild]

Holy shit a CoDC fan, fuck yeah!

Psycroptic is pretty unknown, I think. From Tazmania.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

Band I saw and fell in love with playing on a lake at Latitude '09. 10 piece(ish) female orchestra with an operatic Russell Brand as a singer.

Edit: Some other little niché bands I've found over the years:

http://www.myspace.com/mydickband

They take popular songs and change the lyrics to My Dick. It's genius. My personal favourite is changing the line "I check my look in the mirror" from Springsteen's 'Dancing in the Dark' to "I check my dick in the mirror".

http://www.myspace.com/fartclops

Samples farts. Makes decent beats out of them. Makes you go: "Wow.... eew!"

And I'll give a shout out for a friend of a friends band: http://www.myspace.com/gooniesneversaydiemusic

It's genuinely decent Post-Rock.

 

[holy_secret]

Relient K. All their songs from Mmhmm and up. That's love. Seriously. You'll never find a better band than this :-D

 

[FPSMadPaul]

The Black Rabbits, they have one EP out but it is brilliant and hasn't got many downloads. Get it now on iTunes, it's cheap and worth it!

 

[BlueberryMUNCH]

This exact same thread was made about a week ago. Hrr.

Spoiler: Here we go agaaain

Oof, bad quality sorry.

 

[Alkaline]

Holy shit a CoDC fan, fuck yeah!

Well my screenname is one of their songs. ;D

Edit: Throwing in some more.

Here's a band I'm thoroughly enjoying at the moment:

Spoiler: Mitochondrion

And one of my favourite bands of all time:

Spoiler: Anaal Nathrakh

Thats pretty awesome. I like a lot of the southern style rock/metal stuff like Pantera and Black Stone Cherry. Adding He is Legend to my list and checking out Stampede.

Relient K. All their songs from Mmhmm and up. That's love. Seriously. You'll never find a better band than this :-D

I've never really listened to Reliant K, but I get to go see them this summer at Warped Tour.

The Twelve Girls Band. I have only met two other people who also know of them.

That was pretty awesome. I'm a sucker for foreign instruments.

Riverside. Great progressive rock-metal band from Poland.

Combine a little inspiration from Pink Floyd, Opeth, King Crimson, and Porcupine Tree. I do not know how to link videos, but trust me when I say if you enjoy music you should look them up. They DESERVE fame.

Having Opeth and Porcupine Tree as an influence pretty much solidifies that I'll like them.
For posting videos, the code is like this: [ youtube=*code after equal sign on video url* ] just take out the spaces and it works. I'll post a Riverside video and you can quote this to see the code in text if you need.

Spoiler: Riverside

Oh. My. God.
Take me with you. Please. I would fanboy out like a Belieber if I were to see them with my own eyes <3
