Ah, here we go. That didn't take long. Yes, FalloutJack also follows the work of the band called Sulek. Love the music and animations.Candlejack said:
I've heard of Girls, I was sent their album (simply called "Album") in October last year. I thought that the vocals were annoying and especially the harmonica playing (what were they thinking), plus I think calling your band "Girls" when there are no girls in it is technically cheating. However, on the plus side there were lots of pictures of girls in the booklet to make up for the lack of them in the actual band, and I thought some of the songs were really quite decent once I got past the cheese-grater voice.metroidgearsolid said:so... Girls have announced a brand new mini album and are giving away a free track just for shits and giggles

never heard of Girls? nor have the rest of the world. just thought i would spread the lovelet me know what you think!
anyway. what is your favourite band that no one else has heard of at the moment? would love to hear what cool bands there are out there.
my faves are:
girls,
death from above 1979
+ Elbow (dont know anyone outside of the uk who knows of them)
I've got three Elbow albums but I really don't like any of them. I'm certain I've got DFA1979 stuff somewhere too in my pile but I like CSS's song referencing them better than anything they ever did that I remember hearing.
I'm not going to post any of my "favourite artists no-one has heard" because I can bet some smartass prick is going to make a post saying he's heard of all of them, just like this post I made just now. I don't want to leave this thread with nothing though, so based on your music taste, here's a recommendation, this is one of my favourite things that came out last year and maybe you'll like it or maybe you'll think it's shit, I dunno...:
I feel i need to mention the magnificent Aussie band Snowman...

...incidentally, performing youtube searches on 'snowman zombies', 'snowman horror' and 'snowman plague' yields some interesting results.

Ya, "skramz" is kind a half joke term for "real screamo", but genre distinctions are always a pain... Basically, people use the term real screamo to try to distance the genre form stuff that is mislabeled as screamo, stuff like modern "mall-core" metalcore and pop punk. I guess real screamo is kinda like fourth wave emo in a sense, we've got mid to late 80's emo-core ( rites of spring, embrace, fugazi ect.), which was basically just emotional sissyish punk, 1st wave emo from the late 80's to the early 90's (the hated, moss icon, navio forge, indian summer, still life, ect.), 2nd wave hardcore emo a tad bit later on (like up to the early mid 90's) which was bands like heroin, Antioch arrow, swing kids, ect. After that we gots indie(sometimes called midwest) emo in the mid 90's which you seem to listen to alot of ^_^, less "hardcore" stuff like cap'n jazz, american football, sunny day real estate, joan of arc, ect. And then we have all the weird "post emo" stuff like crazy grindy-wall-of-sound-octave-chord-roll around of the floor- emo, aka screamo, skramz, real screamo, whatever you'd like to call it :3 (bands like orchid, pg. 99, saetia, reversal of man, neil perry, tristan tzara, ect)... and i guess now we have post post emo? Experimental post rock/post hardcore/ whatever-screamo mix bands like circle takes the sqaure, mesa verde, gospel, envy, eleventh he reaches london, city of caterpillar, malay, saddest landscape, la dispute, ect. ect.TeeBs said:
haha, wall of text >.< sorry about that...
But now you know more about emo than you could ever care to know or need to know, so yay ^_^!?
Don't ask me how i know all this stuff off the top of my head X)... I could do this for like a lot of genres actually, i just like music ^_^
art is subjective...Metalhandkerchief said:
Just because muse is the most talented, amazing, wonderfulisious band in the universe according to you doesn't mean i have to like them...
I think that they are pretty goddamn bad, and my opinion is just as important as yours is...
...which is to say that it isn't important at all. Nobody gives a fuck about our opinions.
Psychotic Waltz would be mine. Fantastic prog metal, but not known nearly as much as it should be.
Ok, so you've made it this far without being quoted, but Cake is not an obscure band. They're played on rock stations, alternative stations, 90s stations, and Top 40/Billboard Hits stations, ALL THE TIME. Perhaps that's a location thing, but even then, they have multiple top ten singles, and they've had their songs featured in multiple movies, and an ipod commercial. That being said, they're still awesome.Thespian said:
While not that obscure, Voltaire deserves more mention in this thread.
Awesome band, and weird video. Alternate Progressive metal is how I'd describe them, but I'm not very good at that...
Girls is awesome. The strange thing is... you assume that no one has heard of them, yet Lust For Life has over a million views on YouTube.
All my "little known bands" that I enjoy are all local hardcore bands and I'm pretty sure that you guys don't want to hear that kind of stuff, so I'll just post an extremely unknown song by a relatively obscure artist.
That's a crazy niche that he's trying to fill and he fills it beautifully.

I don't know of they're small or not, but I'm the only person of my friends who's heard of them: the Black Mages
