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

[Sightless Wisdom]

Off the top of my head : Blackguard(origionally known as Profugus Mortis).

 

[martin's a madman]

T.V on the Radio,
Japanese Cartoon,
Leonard Cohen, Incredible artist but no one I speak to seems to have heard of him. Of course EVERYBODY knows his song Hallelujah just not his name.
Yeah Yeah Yeahs,
The Ting Tings,
K-os,
Jamie Lidell,
Lupe Fiasco.

 

[Whistler777]

The terrible singing is what makes it awesome!

 

[Lord George]

No-one seems to ever have heard of Dresden Dolls or Vermillion lies around where I am, maybe its just the people I hang out with, anyone else heard them?

i'm really sad that absolutely NO ONE has said Jonathan Coulton. Everyone should love and praise him. Also got to love Lemon Demon and Electric Six, although they were previously mentioned. Also Lonely Island, but they aren't really unknown, just hillarious and awesome XD

Jonathan Coulton - I Feel Fantastic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zidiWe9yq88

Jonathan Coulton - Re: Your Brains (not the best animation, but gets the humor across qutie nicely)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6vnM9I7HIo

Jonathan Coulton - Code Monkey (if you liked the show, you know and love this song, made before the show actually)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqTaqVi9J8k

Jonathan Coulton - Still Alive (yes, he wrote the ending to portal, and still no one mentions him. i'm infuriated)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxNmeMklFk8

 

[TheOnceandFutureKing]

Resistance Against Panda Extortion

 

[G1eet]

Protest the Hero, A Day to Remember, Arrogant Worms.

 

[Phoenix Arrow]

Christ. A lot of you are living in denial if you think people haven't heard of Brand New, Death Cab and Electric Six. EVERYONE knows who Electric Six are. Come on, Gay Bar, High Voltage, Dance Commander and that Radio Ga Ga cover? Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly were on at Reading festival. Modest Mouse is pretty big too.

This guy speaks the truth.

Does it Offend You, Yeah? Nice.
I tried to get tickets to ones of the shows they did with We Smoke Fags but I couldn't get my hands on any. I saw Hadouken! though. They were shit. They didn't seem to have any energy but to be fair they did look really jetlagged and it was at Southampton Uni which has no ventilation. Seriously, it's down a corridor so there's no doors, no windows, no air con. Nothing. I went to see Pendulum there and I almost passed out. Had to go and sit outside for a few minutes which is the only time I've had to do that.

i'm really sad that absolutely NO ONE has said Jonathan Coulton. Everyone should love and praise him.

That's because this is a gaming forum so everyone knows who he is.

mollys revenge, toad in the hole, an tua, all great celtic bands, too bad they arnt good on online videos, or maybe im not looking hard enough

 

[trelloskilos]

In one word, BUMBLEFOOT
Unbelievably proficient guitarist/singer/songwriter/producer, who transcends genres, from grunge, through country, jazz, metal, hip-hop and ragga, all the way to cheezy lounge, funk and opera, sometimes all in the same song! - Check out T-Jonez, Crunch, Don Pardo Pimpwagon, Ick, Bagged a big one and Guitars SUCK ...anyone who can play fretless guitar with a thimble, and blow the usual shredders like Vai & Satriani out of the water, and lyrics that match Zappa for humour, has GOT to be checked out!

Daisy Chainsaw was also mentioned. - Love yer Money is truly epic!

 

[Craig FTW]

I know Bloc Party and Band Of Horses.
some bands I know/one fo my friends know are:

I Killed Techno!

We Are Scientists

The Word Alive

Settings

I'm sure there's more lol

My favorite has to be a small Ska band called Pain. Sadly they only put out 4 albums before disbanding but it is some of my fav music.

Futz Said Julie www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLOSUgPt5C0
Suckerpunch www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvU2TJHrdu0
Midgets With Guns www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jPcpRrro0M
Square Pegs www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5gcWSpR9hs

And the song that got me to love Pain

Jabberjaw www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vn1pf0Xi3nU


Oh I'll also throw in Planet Smashers which is a Canadian Ska band.

Supper Orgy Porno Party www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvGCWSxELSQ

Adam Hood - His music rocks

 

[YYZed]

I Have a few under my belt for stuff people have not heard, well ALOT of people probably have just not local to me...

Cannibal Ox - Iron Galaxy Grooveshark [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?mm5mtyacyzn] A good hip hop group, well I like them.

Roetaka - Ocean Pollen Grooveshark [http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Ocean_Pollen_e3m2_/4754353] Video game remixer this one is from the OCRemix dark side of phobos project

Stone Temple Pilots - Interstate Love Song [http://listen.grooveshark.com/#/song/Interstate_Love_Song/65335] Really nice radio rock / grunge sounding band.

If you like Cannibal Ox you will probably like Aesop Rock, hes signed by Def Jux as well, though a lot of people dont like him because of his lyrics, i personally love Aesop Rock i think hes a genious.
