What's a band you like, but no one else knows about?

[NotAPie]

I use to like Thousand Foot Krutch and FM Static, eh, Now I listen to The Offspring.

 

[armaan8014]

Apartment - really good alternative band (heard about them from fifa 08)

 

[black-magic]

She wants revenge!

 

[akmarksman]

the original Nightwish..with Tarja singing kicks rocks ass..

 

[RavingLibDem]

If your looking for some brittish indie, with good riffs and clever lyrics id suggest -

The Holloways - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RXBq2jfBnM
Bromheads jacket - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9aDAFMjxpI - slower, and frankly a brilliant piece of song writing

or you can try some other more random selections, such as Gogol Bordello, your one stop place for gypsy punk - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=elyQ4ShVw-Y - brilliant fast paced punk gypsy classic... yes I did just say that

or if you want a Somlian rapper, who raps about things that actually matter in a mature and affecting way, look for K'naan - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7WNuYPVBZU

if anyone watches any of these, and likes/dislikes feel free to pm me

Flogging Molly is a good Irish-American punk band that is below the radar to some of my friends.

their frickin awesome, you looked up Great Big Sea or Ceann? their both pretty good and in a similar mood, if slightly more folky, look em up on youtube if you want

 

[Smiffy666uk]

I'd have to say Alestorm. Nobody I know seems to have heard of them unless I played them some. Also not many people seem to know Mad Caddies and they're pretty awesome. Also i response to other people's posts, Tyr are awesome, I used to listen to Dashboard Confessional before I got into heavier bands and Aquabats are awesome.

 

[Spacelord]

Dutch pop band Bløf, betcha never heard of those guys!

 

[Resistance205]

Blue Syndrome
Home Star Runner (Not the cartoon!)
The Remember Kids
The Shower Scene
The Mission Distrct.

I have seen all of them in concert, in some random gig's. They are some of my favorite bands ever, and no one knows them at all

 

[Kif]

Mr Bungle would be the most unheard of thing in my music collection I guess. Not a lot of people knew of At the Drive in / Mars Volta before the guitar hero games too I think

 

[Pancake]

check out Ictus i think they may have released a second album recently

 

[Rafe]

Alice Nine
Dir en Grey
Any music created by Nobou Uematsu or Akira Yamoaka

Most likely a lot of people on the escapist have heard of these, however this is in terms of not one person I know knowing them

 

[Nalbis]

Falconer and (hed)p.e

No one I know seems to know these two bands which I find quite frustrating as they both make great music.

 

[Symp4thy]

Big Smith. I heard them at a bar in St. Louis and then bought all their CDs.

 

[Valkyira]

I love Rise Against but no-one in my area has heard of them

 

[PlasticTree]

Nova Nova. Especially Tones is awesome.

 

[Fingerprint]

Well no-one seems to know of Strung Out. But if you like punk rock then you may want to check them out.

 

[Fingerprint]

punk:


A Wilhelm Scream
No Trigger

These are two of my favourite bands.

If you like them then howsabout:

Bigwig - 'Reclamation' is their best album
Five Knuckle
Propagandhi - Today's Empire's, Tomorrow's Ashes
Raised Fist - The only album of theirs I have is 'Sound of the Republic'
Redlightsflash - 'Free...' is they best album (Last Come, First Served is awesome)
Zero Down - only one album but definitely worth a listen.

(And I recommend this band to everyone
Strung Out.

 

[The Jono]

No one beyond Derbyshire has ever heard of the Old Dance School or David Gibb. So folky, so very folky...

I once heard two Tom Vek songs and I never heard head nor tail of him.
