Your Favorite Bands and Artists No One has Ever Heard...

[YYZed]

list the bands you love that no one seems to know about cause they aren't mainstream.

Some bands i like that fall under this catogory:

-Brad Sucks
-Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly!
-Aesop Rock
-Band of Horses
-The Unicorns
-Brand New
-TV on the Radio

and for some reason none of my friends seem to know who Phoenix or Bloc Party are which is wierd to me.

So post bands (any genre of course) that you like that you don't think are as big as they should be or that no one else knows about and maybe a youtube video or something of there best song to get a preview.

 

[TheSentinel]

Kasabian. No one I know has ever heard of them.

Pilot to Gunner, although they were in Midnight Club 3...

 

[SomeLameStuff]

Hatsune Miku

[LongAndShort]

Skipping Girl Vinegar. good band, one of the few decent things to come out of Melbourne. But know one I know seems to have heard of them.

 

[LackingSanity]

I agree with you about TV on the Radio, a couple other bands none of my friends seem to know about are the Black Keys, Japandroids, and Morphine.

Really? Do you live in England, because they're massive here.

Mine is Moxy Fruvous. A Canadian folky band, compared to Barenaked Ladies often but I like them better.

Clubfoot is a pretty big song. The music video came with every launch PSP, was in midnight club 3, and got plenty of radio airplay. After that, they have been on the radar, just not popular.
