Bands you love that no one has heard of

Isn't it sad when you just love a band and no one has heard their absolute awesomeness?
Well, it's time for you to give them more exposure!

I'll start:

Deolinda - A young Portuguese band influenced by traditional Portuguese music mainly fado, but more "happy" and humorous (Different enough, as I hate fado). Also, the singer has a KILLER voice :D

Also, Blasted Mechanism - Another Portuguese band. The music is... well, unique :) They also have a weird tendency to wear crazy costumes.

Heike Has The Giggles

Solitude Aeturnus, awesome Doom Metal

Savatage, freakin wicked Power/Prog/Heavy Metal

They are by no means unknown, but I feel Trivium deserve far more credit than they receive.... They're one of my favourite bands XD. All That Remains would fit into that too, I really like them and not many people do from my experience.tommat119944

Wall Of Sleep.

Someone, somewhere, will have heard of them though. Bands are like that.

Two Door Cinema Club.I found out about these guys not long ago, an alt-pop trio from Ireland. At least that's what I would consider it, don't know what else it could be labelled under..

Ah yes, like I said, they are known, but it's just my opinion they deserve a bit more recognition ;).

I just heard them for the first time yesterday lol. And it's true, they're great!

Most people have heard of the bands i listen to...maybe..Anarchy Club..

The XX

I don't know too much about them myself, but their debut album is awesome.

While not "bands" I listen to a lot of trance artists that not many people other than trance fans would have heard of, but I guess no matter how much I prattle on about it I won't be heard over the "my band is more underground than your band" elitism that goes on here.

I am a huge fan of these songs which are available for free download. The singer's name is Chad Gardner.

I didn't detect any elitism yet...

The bands I mentioned, for example, are not underground at all. They're just not known outside Portugal.

Heck, my favourite band is Muse and they are very far from being underground.

The Black Keys, they're blues-rock duo like The White Stripes but more focused on blues and slide guitar.

In A Nutshell. Like 50 people listen to them on last.fm.

Jonquil - Indie/New Folk ("Pencil Paper")

Corduroy - Acid Jazz ("Skirt Alert") ("Money Is")

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. awesome new band from New York. their sound's kind of like My Bloody Valentine meets the Smiths meets the Beach Boys, seriously recommend them to anyone with taste.

Sentenced , one of the most underrated bands of all time , no one i know personally has ever heard of it .

4 Today, Seventh Day Slumber, Maximum the Hormone

Derdian
Keldian

Just how obscure are they? Google and find out. If you find a link to anything in less than an hour i'll be impressed.

If you were a proper hipster, they'd be way too mainstream for you already.

I looked right after i posted lol.

Now do me a favor and find somewhere that has any of their stuff available for streaming ( not short previews of one song ). The CD i got at their promo event back in 1999 doesnt play anymore and i havent purchased a replacement even though i could get a used one for like $2.

It's hard to find music that is truly unknown, but I guess the Art Bears and Henry Cow would fit the bill. Although I listen to plenty of "obscure" stuff these are the only bands I literally have never seen mentioned (save for the person that recommended them to me). Here are some other great ones that are in no way unknown, just seldom mentioned nowadays: Dead Can Dance, Premiata Forneria Marconi, Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Weakling

Breaking Benjamin??? does anyone no that band

Robyn Hitchcock. I love all his music, but nobody seems to know him here. I also really like The Divine comedy, but I never see them mentioned.

Lucien-Lachance

guys in that band went to my school. which would be a cool fact if their music didn't suck balls.

Front Line Assembly. Nobody I've ever talked to even has a clue if they exist. Kinda disappointing but industrial is that way I guess. If it isn't NIN then don't expect anybody to know who you're talking about.

Gamespot OT knows everybody. That said nobody here ever mentions Gallows which to me is the best band to come out of the second half of the 2000'sNifty_Shark
