The most amazing bands that nobody has heard of

[Eizweir]

Name them.  Go.

Lostprophets

[Beatnik]

Are you kidding? They're not obscure at all, I've heard them on the radio.

[Tsumaru]

I've taken a liking to I See Stars, but they're pretty popular around school.

uh no most people taht are updated with music in general have heard them.

here's a brand new band from LA called Drive A. I saw them warm up for Alkaline Trio a couple weeks ago in New Haven Connecticut. They have their first single on iTunes that you should check out. After seeing them live its safe to say  They're pretty talented. It cool to think the singer passed inches in front of me in the crowd.

A couple other low profile bands that are pretty good are Pennywise and Houston Calls.

Streetlight Manifesto is still kind of unheard of but they tour constantly. As is Catch 22.
I also like Four Year Strong, but they're getting popular too.

I've played shows with Shortstop from Tokyo and Write What You Want. Both excellent.

Also, I've heard Rocket Boots kicks ass. [/plug]

[Shujinco2]

Focus.

Neat band from Holland.

Also: Last Crack

The Beatles, oh wait. On serious note, Bill Haley and His Comets. Not very many people know them as much as they should.

[yes.derek]

N.E.R.D.

Not many people I know have heard of them, at least.

Also iwrestledabearonce, but not many people are into that sort of music i suppose.

[Kevvviiinnn]

Camel.

[metroidhunter777]

Liquid Tension Experiment, side project for Dream Theater. Absolutely amazing. Heck, most people have probably heard of Dream Theater, but that's one that not too many people know. They do have one hit, after all. >_>

The Beatles, oh wait. On serious note, Bill Haley and His Comets. Not very many people know them as much as they should.

I've heard "Rock Around the Clock" (amazing song), but what other songs would you recommend?

[RX-78-2]

Name them.  Go.

I was going to make a thread on this.  :)

Anyway: Black Stone Cherry and Priestess (yes I know they were on GH3 but their other stuff is good too) Priestess is gaining some recognition I think, but I haven't heard anything major.

I wish I could name more, but I can't.  :(

Oh yeah, and: DIMMU BORGIR \m/

[Silly_Penguin]

Streetlight Manifesto is still kind of unheard of but they tour constantly.

Streetlight Manifesto is actually really popular in my school at least.

and i think Flaw and Coal Chamber aren't that well known, even though their awesome.
I'm really not sure what bands are considered to be well known or not though..

[Chloroform?]

Here are a few great lesser known bands that people should know:

Overview, Everybody Else, The Tangent, Holy Fuck, The Kills (not as much, but still less known), and somehow nobody I've talked to in the US knows anything about Manic Street Preachers, which is a pity.
