those bands nobody's ever heard of that kick ass.

[xVT. RIDERx]

there are a few bands i know, that are awesome, and only a handful of people i know have heard of them, and it brings me down. what bands do you think nobody's ever heard of before, that should be known for their music? name five if you can.

me: Race The Sun, Long Shot Hero, Dirty Larry, Streetlight Manifesto, Five Iron Frenzy (they broke up a while ago tho)

[xVT. RIDERx]

i'm so addicted to Race The Sun right now, it's crazy

[thedude]

dude, dirty larry rocks. i was never a big fan of Five Irom Frenzy, because they were christian pop punk.

[Sonya]

Thirty Years War, Poor Bailey! Give me a little while, and I'll think of three more...

[kelly]

Well, I wouldn't say no one has ever heard of them but...
Supersleuth, Drag the River, Love Me Destroyer, Sicko, The Kite Eating Tree.

[Proximate Platypus]

RIO BENT! :D www.myspace.com/riobent
a local punk band here in greater vancouver... with MANY avid followers including me. They're really unknown... they only have an EP that they sell at shows :(

Anyone ever heard of The Planet Smashers? They're ska and they have a fun song called "Surfing in Tofino" that's on my boardsports mix :)

[Proximate Platypus]

OOOh, what about Tyravyo!!? They're kind of obscure--Finnish pop-punk. In Finnish. And the website's in Finnish, too, which makes it doubly harder to get hold of CDs and merchandise... if anyone wants songs or the self-titled album, msn me.
Anyone who's heard of Tyravyo gets a thousand kudos from me ^_^ :lol:

[btn15]

im a big fan of the superspecs aka the specs. not to many people know them, they are friends of mine. they make me wanna dance everytime i hear them. they are rock and a little ska. gotta love the bands from good ol' NJ :)

feel free to hit up thier myspace...

myspace.com/specsrock

[Proximate Platypus]

Ok here's more. Sheesh, I'm going to have like 17 posts in this thread. I keep on remembering all these bands!

Sneakers & Lace. An amusing 60s band that sang about skateboarding mostly. I wish there would be a band like this except snowboarding instead of skateboarding!

The Fruit Bats. 60s-esque indie-pop! Very fun to listen to!

Dogs Die In Hot Cars ... they're british :)
Meiko Kaji ... M83 ... Man or Astro-man ... Millions of Dead Cops/Magnus Dominus Corpus etc ... Melt Banana ... The Mermen ... Mia Doi Todd... Morning Musume... The Mountain Goats. Just scrolling through itunes here.

um... I have to go now.

[semboarder99s]

[btn15]

Im a big fan of Catch 22, one of my favorites. Im also fond of the academy is, Big d, the aquabats, and streetlight. all great.

[xVT. RIDERx]

Chiodos is pretty sweet, but like, with the piano in the background that's sometimes on a completely different key than the guitars can sound dischordant(?) and like, trippy. but it's cool stuff. Secondhand Serenade is a good acoustic kind of emo music, it's good stuff if you like acoustic music.

[DnBsuperhero]

FIF five iron frezy is amazing!

my engineering teacher went to thier last concert

[board4life1021]

all the bands are under Mighty Music, which is out of denmark. i seriously love the bands, escpescially Panzerchrist

[ADRsk8boarder]

for a local up and coming heavy metal screamo band is burn.heal.scar.

[sCReamBloodygORE]

that is a very good basic list of death / black metal band that everyone should know


2 other bands i can not seem to get enough of are thyrfing and finntroll thats all i have been listening to all week

p.s death is my all time favorite band no questions asked chuck shuldiner is the god father of death metal RIP

[ADRsk8boarder]

cool... i cant listen to metal uch as metallica for more then 4 songs

[sCReamBloodygORE]

metallica is alright.. i'm not huge into them but i love ONE and for whom the bell tolls yeahhhhhh

[ADRsk8boarder]

yea i like whiplash, welcome home, and trapped under ice

[Grill]

Metallica is thrash... not good thrash like say The Haunted, Anthrax, Slayer or old Meshuggah, but thrash none the less (looking at my examples I must say Metallica stacks up poorly).

Hmm... looks like I forgot Callenish Circle, Amorphis, Arsis... I better stop or I'll be here all day.

[sCReamBloodygORE]

also metallica covered a misfits song.. i wanna say it was bullet

but i forget i heard it on the radio it was awesome

[ADRsk8boarder]

yea im more into punk and indie, like bright eyes, interpol, anti-flag, and billy talent

[Proximate Platypus]

Metallica... albums before their self-titled album are worth listening to in my opinion. I'm a fan of Ride the Lightning. Unfortunately, they're not a band that aged well... although they still seem popular enough, for some reason.
and what about Sepultura's Schizophrenia for good thrash...
Wait, this is supposed to be the indie music thread.

[ADRsk8boarder]

no its for kickass band that nobody has ever heard of

[elmoiscool45]

My friends local band is pretty kick ass Late Aprill

www.myspace.com/lateaprill

Minus The Bear rules, Dangerdoom is incredible, and it's Dangermouse and MF Doom, not J5.

Think I Care, Some Girls, Sizzla and Big L get added to mine.

Check out Pelican- Good instrumental band

Mayhem- good black metal band.....I'm sure a lot of people have heard of them

[DRE]

"Kids of Widney High." Probably heard of them since they were in the Ringer, but before that they weren't as popular, but have pretty tight music.

me: Race The Sun, Long Shot Hero, Dirty Larry, Streetlight Manifesto, Five Iron Frenzy (they broke up a while ago tho)




Streetlight Manifesto best band ever I would say

[phillyboy]

Instant respect and love to any fellow sigur ros or Godspeed fan =)
I saw Godspeed in 98 with Ganger and Mogwai. Such a great show.
I'd have to plug 108 since I've been listening to them nonstop lately and just saw them again on Friday. They have 2 new songs at www.weare108.com (http://www.weare108.com) if you want to check them out. But definitely check out their older stuff too.

[SnoChica]

6. Built to Spill


I like how you slipped Built to Spill in there... I guess they may be somewhat obscure.. it just baffles me.

[SnoChica]

Why does it baffle you?
Baffles me that one would consider them a band that no one has heard of maybe. I don't know. I guess it depends on your genre preferences, but I see Built To Spill as kinda legendary.

Then again... like I said, I can see your point... There are tons of people who have no idea who they are.

Kind of like Luna.... www.fuzzywuzzy.com

:)

[Proximate Platypus]

I've heard of Built to Spill, too... I guess there are some bands that are well known within their genre but people who don't pay attention to the genre have never heard of them.

[jawknee]

I like you.........you know good music.

[Samantiks]

Hey Thanks - = )

I can tell by your kick aS# avatar that you are also 'in the know'! I love me some music though, it keeps me sane. While mostly I jam to the underground hiphop, my collection spans a pretty vast range - hell, everyone was inspired by somebody, right - why limit yourself?

For sure. I like a lot of music besides the new emo bs. It's all the same. By the way, the manderine goose is tasty. I had some this weekend.

[Samantiks]

Glad you liked it - now that you mention it, I might have to stop & get a bottle on the way home...i've got the 'craving'!

[swiftnotarizer]

hahaha.....the craving for goose just hits you. I got it last tuesday and went directly to the bar for happy hour.

[xVT. RIDERx]

The Morning Of. they=amazing.

i'm going to try and start a band, and model it after their style of music.
because it's that amazing.

yup.

also a few other bands: LASTWINTER, Sleepaway, The Classic Crime, Red Lipstick Letter, Ten Second Epic, These Silouhettes, Jonas Sees In Color, Monty Are I, Pinback. yup. some are on indie labels, i think one or two maybe three are on major labels. and one or two aren't signed. but they're all great bands.

[szaarh]

the subways?

[rosstheboss2009]

umphrey's mcgee is a kick ass band, though no ones herd of them

[littlelostdope]

Sneakers & Lace. An amusing 60s band that sang about skateboarding mostly. I wish there would be a band like this except snowboarding instead of skateboarding!


where can i find this band?

dominic frasca, crazy acoustic guitar player. he makes it sound like 3 people are playing.
heroes of the forgotten era, an amazing ska band from my area.
fourth rotor, punk from chicago.
common rider, jessi from operation ivy's band. sadly they broke up a while ago.
dresden dolls, i don't really know how to explain their sound but it's good.

[Laura Jean]

oh man, haha you wanna know some kick ass underground bands, ya that would be me to talk to. I work for a radio Station and also have my own booking company for exactly thoes types of bands. Try Southcott, they kickass

[xVT. RIDERx]

Try Southcott, they kickass

i saw them live and talked to their drummer. and yes they do.

[Laura Jean]

haha, really. I'm nto shure where Barre VT is, but if you feel lie going to CP on the 25th, I'm putting on a show with them Madison and Jet Lag Gemini, haha but yeah, I love thoes boys, I was accually just on the phone with john a couple days ago.

[xVT. RIDERx]

[pnsboarder]

some of you might have heard of them...they are a rising punk band called Unseen

[Laura Jean]

I've heard of them, never heard their music yet though.

[littlelostdope]

their new stuff is good but their old stuff is alot better. check out the complete singles collection 1994-2000 if you wanna hear some nice street punk. would that be considered an oxymoron?

[pnsboarder]

one of the best punk comp cds is probably the amp street punk cd

[Laura Jean]

yeah, has anyone have the Surge cd... Like yes, that drink way back. Well they made this CD, and it has some good songs on it. hah

[littlelostdope]

haha i saw the end of that. very amusing and i really want to try it. i don't really like the music but the it was still damn cool.

[nj_swede]

Haha yeah the treadmill video was pretty sweet. But the dance for A Million Ways was better.

[Proximate Platypus]

I love the Arcade Fire.. I also like other indie-pop bands like The Dandy Warhols, Dogs Die in Hot Cars, Super Furry Animals, Stars, Enon, The fruit bats, The Organ, ....I'm going to stop there.

[xVT. RIDERx]

>_< I feel like a hipster.

lol. i don't mind indie, like The Arcade Fire, i mean, i just started to like Broken Social Scene, but i think indie is kinda a little too instrumental for my liking...sometimes. Sleater-Kinney (spelling?) is supposed to be really good.

[littlelostdope]

lucid nation, broken society, bang sugar bang,leftover crack, shira girl those are some good bands. sleater kinney is really good, i like their 90's stuff alot more than their new stuff but for some reason i always like a bands older stuff.

[xVT. RIDERx]

yea, i checked out a couple songs by Sleater-Kinney, and i was like "uhh...??"

[SubliminalMonkey]

there are a few bands i know, that are awesome, and only a handful of people i know have heard of them, and it brings me down. what bands do you think nobody's ever heard of before, that should be known for their music? name five if you can.

me: Race The Sun, Long Shot Hero, Dirty Larry, Streetlight Manifesto, Five Iron Frenzy (they broke up a while ago tho)

I LOVE Five Iron Frenzy. One of my ex's got me into them. Ska = Awesome.

Not many people have heard of The Skacopaths or The Left Overs. Or Mindless Self Indulgence for that matter. Who, by the way, are very good.

but here-uncivil class (my freinds band, it's "skinhead rock and roll")
and a band that is just me and a few friends F'in around, http://myspace.com/notsureyetmuzac lasted about a week, but it was a good time.

[username? tim?]

what's with all the hating of mainstream music? except for the really trendy bands a lot of them are better than unknown bands. either cause they are better or have had more luck... or money

[littlelostdope]

why would luck or money make them any better than unknown bands? some mainstream stuff is good but most of the bands have turned 360 degrees from what they started from (which is usually better) just to fit the mold of what they think everybody wants to listen to. now do you understand why there's "all the hating of mainstream music"; it's void of creative thinking.

[kyew77]

hell yea dude mainstream sucks ****. rap is a perfect example. they've all lost origionality and now all there is is rap about sex and chicks shakin their asses. and all the other mainstream rock is spewing out **** about how depressed they are over the're lost girlfriends. they all lose their identitys with their fame


p.s. well said littlelostdope

[ilikesnow]

i agree with littlelostdope, and not all mainstream rock is about depression, but its still not good,
basically you start out with a good band, some label says hey play what WE wrote or like, and we'll pay you. Generally bands have good looking people, do you think only good-looking people are good enough for everyone to like, NO, good-looking people are good enough to create a good marketing image.

[ashleyistwisted]

ok so everybody is dissing mainstream music.. i myself love some mainstream.. but thats just my personal taste i guess..i do agree though that bands are changing[most mainstream i like is older stuff] .. i think its more the record companys fault.. like victory records.. they should go fall down a pit and die
does anyone know who tony brummel is?
well he's the d!ck who runs victory records and bases his success on cheating bands out of money rightfully theirs to make more money for himself. hes also the one to tell them how to do.. well.. everything.. for this reason many bands have left victory.

yes i do agree there are soo many bands out there better than mainstream.. you just have to look hard enough..

[ashleyistwisted]

all the other mainstream rock is spewing out **** about how depressed they are over the're lost girlfriends. they all lose their identitys with their fame


p.s. well said littlelostdope

btw..non-mainstream rock is also talking about how depressed they are, ex girlfriends etc. so i dont think its the fame thats the problem.. its the genre

[ilikesnow]

yea F**K YOU major record labels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:evil:

haha, that was fun.

[ashleyistwisted]

ya..like i said.. its the labels screwing modern music over.. not the bands themselves

[littlelostdope]

aha, but there in lies the problem. some bands are letting them screw them over and not caring because it makes them famous.

btw..non-mainstream rock is also talking about how depressed they are, ex girlfriends etc. so i dont think its the fame thats the problem.. its the genre

the only reason non-mainstream rock does this is to imitate mainstream. "imitate what is successful to become successful yourself" the thing these bands don't notice is, it's all about trend and that trend is dying, they're going absolutely nowhere.

[valleyrider6]

i hate when a noname band that you love goes mainstream... just a personal thing i guess..
oh and my buddys and i need a name for a alternative rock "band" we are "starting up".. any suggestions?

i was thinking "rendezvous at the cemetery"...... not sure if that works though.

[kyew77]

yea man modest mouse was tight until float n went all big. but damn isaac seems like one of those guys whod get all full of himself. theres a band that was good and is gonna go down. but yea MAINSTREAM SUCKS D!CK and that all there is to it. especially fall out boy those guys can go choke eachothers (p)enises.

[ilikesnow]

ya some bands like NOFX are constantly asked to be played on MTV, but never have, caus they know what will happen

pre-famous is wayyy better than pop-star, allways.

[burnpianoxisland]

Tony Brummel is a scumbag. Definitely deserved to be beat up by Hoods for ****ing them over.

I love how Victory went from one of the best labels in hardcore to putting out really ****ty pop punk.

[username? tim?]

modest mouse wasn't big until after float on started playing though so it's not the fame that made their sound change
and nofx doesn't have to impress their record lable because they are thier record lable

i love the Matches. they're semi-popular, i only know a few people who know them.

a not-very-popular band i think is Dredg. they are so good, and really good live too.

You named some very popular bands. this is a thread for bands nobody has ever heard of that are actually pretty good. I have heard of all of these bands, most of them i have seen live.

[musicandsnowboarding]

meh its hard to tell sometimes.....i only listen to bands that friends recommend to me, i mean i dont listen to the radio or anything

la la la la la.

[cuethebirds]

streetlight? i didnt hear of them until about a year ago. but they arent mainstream so i'd think that wayyyy more people have never heard of them

there used to be a huge punk/ska local scene where i was from, i watcehd them live when i was in 8th grade

[musicandsnowboarding]

that doesnt mean a lot of people have heard of them, if they were local for you

like a huge amount of my school knows who the epoxies are, but im sure the % wouldnt be as much in a different part of the country where they didnt come from

[cuethebirds]

they arnt mainstream in a sense they arnt on the radio or mtv but a majority of people have heard about them

like i said, i wouldnt know whats mainstream and what isnt i just go by what people tell me.

if i hear a band i like, i keep listening. if i dont like it, i dont. and if i hear people talking about a band a lot i assume they are popular.

[elmoiscool45]

Same here, but if it goes mainstream i keep listening. unlike some people who decide the band is suddenly gay because everyone knows about them. Its frustating though when people come up to you and are like "have you heard these guys before" and your like "yeah about 4 years ago. I have there first cd" and they are like "no they only have 1 cd" those people are the people i think are pricks because they dont know anything a band the supposedly love.
A specific example is Relient K for all of you people out there mmhmm is not there first cd it is like there 5 or something.

true story
actually i only like a couple mmhmm songs, the best came earlier.

relient k isnt really "good" but i like them because i like the message and the sound isnt horrible.

sorry all you mtv lovers, but relient k IS christian. that song "be my escape" isnt about teenage angst.....(same with switchfoot, who kinda turned into mainstream)

it kinda makes me angry also when people know all the words to a song and sing along to it and dont even know what it means. it sorta kills the message which takes the essence of why a song was good out of it. sad day.

fyi. christian bands are popular among christians, FAR from mainstream. but then they start playing on the radio, mtv....gets worse....then they feel they have some need of "pleasing the public" so they put out a couple crappy albums without saying the word "jesus" in their hit song so they will have a wider audience. hmm. but yeah my point was that a lot of these bands seem almost underground (not refering to the genre but just the term underground) and then when they become mainstream they lose what made them good.

AMEN TO THAT!!.. like with weezer... before they became popular.. like nobody knew them..then all of a sudden when they had a hit people came up to me left and right asking them if ive heard of them.. and like u said i told them i did and had the first album... and they disagreed with me... thats totally true.. kinda weird too

true story
actually i only like a couple mmhmm songs, the best came earlier.

relient k isnt really "good" but i like them because i like the message and the sound isnt horrible.

sorry all you mtv lovers, but relient k IS christian. that song "be my escape" isnt about teenage angst.....(same with switchfoot, who kinda turned into mainstream)

it kinda makes me angry also when people know all the words to a song and sing along to it and dont even know what it means. it sorta kills the message which takes the essence of why a song was good out of it. sad day.

fyi. christian bands are popular among christians, FAR from mainstream. but then they start playing on the radio, mtv....gets worse....then they feel they have some need of "pleasing the public" so they put out a couple crappy albums without saying the word "jesus" in their hit song so they will have a wider audience. hmm. but yeah my point was that a lot of these bands seem almost underground (not refering to the genre but just the term underground) and then when they become mainstream they lose what made them good.



i also agree extreamly with your last few sentences... like again..weezer for example.. i still like them and all.. but like.. if u've ever listend to there blue and green albums.. there totally different then from there most recent one.. kinda disapointing

It goes the same with every good band. I like weezer so much i have Dashboard Confessionals tribute to weezer. But i also like Dashboard Confessional. And speaking of Dashboard, Dusk and summer is not the good album, its okay but the best is Places you have come to fear the most. best song is "the best deceptions" just so everyone knows.
