Title: Favorite artist(s) that nobody's ever heard of?
Post by: Silverhawk79 on July 29, 2008, 04:08:49 PM
What's your favorite unknown artist?
I like Parkway Drive, Band of Horses, Plastic Constellations, Animal Collective, Electric Six, Escape the Fate, Every Time I Die, Far From Finished, In The Pines, Mouthful of Bees, and Sparta.
HOW ABOUT YOU?!?!1/

I've heard of all of those.

I'll add to your list with

The Almost
The Fold
The Graduate
Halifax
Hellogoodbye
Hit The Lights
In Fiction
Mr. Bungle (:D)
Pan Ramajay
Protest the Hero (maybe, still have yet to decide if I like them)
Saosin (They're actually kind of popular nowadays I think)
Scary Kids Scaring Kids
Story Of The Year
Sweet Diss And The Comebacks
The Wedding
+44

Honestly though, this list could go on forever. A better answer would be:

purevolume.com
myspace.com 
:D :D :D :D

Next time, don't break your post and say that you are editing my quote. I've seen Almost and Halifax live (and Saosin) and they are pretty good. Check them out sometime.

Yeah, I figured Saosin would be popular. I don't keep up with charts, so I wouldn't know.

Alstroemeria Records (actually the name of the group olol)
Chiaki Ishikawa
Dude Dude Chick (just because of "Bees")
Killingscum
Kool Killers
Neuroticfish
SGX
The Toxic Avenger


to name a few.  I left out even the ones people that listen to non-mainstream electronica would know and people who only listen to mainstream would never hear of.

The Postal Service is hardly known outside of our cult fanbase where I live, though they've had hits, they haven't stuck in anyone's heads...

that nobody's heard of where I live?  Massive Attack (dunno how they haven't heard of them... everyone here is a House fan...)

Most people I know have heard of them.

yes, that it is.

in fact, the whole album is awesome.  the only one that i don't really like is Recycled Air.  The District is awesome as well.

Brand New Colony is my fave though.

Ready Steady GO.

Enter the Haggis
Rezurex
Phenomenauts
Tiger Army


I'd say The Living End, my favorite band, but everyone's heard of them because of their covered song "Carry Me Home" in GH2.

I'd also say Franz Ferdinand, but a lot of people know them for one song, so that doesn't count.

That's probably one of the biggest bands around here. The sad thing is that whenever they do live shows, they only play the really poppy stuff. The guys are really nice, though.

Anyways, I'm a really big fan of Jean Michel Jarre, Amon Tobin, Eddie Jobson, Goose, Patrick O'Hearn, and The Islands and The Sea (which is a local band).

Relatively unknown bands that I like include Overview, Astronaut, Man on Earth, Everybody Else, The Tangent, Grand National, and Yo La Tengo. I know other bands that are probably unknown to most people, but to the people that like that genre of music they're pretty popular.

In America, only Toku watchers know of TETRA-FANG, Tourbillon, and AAA. So I guess them.

yeah i sort of thought that, but i put them on just in case. A lot of people don't actually know Tom DeLonge the singer for blink-182 is for Angels and Airwaves and Mark Hoppus the other singer for blink-182 is for +44 after the blink hiatus. it really annoys me.

Most semi-casual punk listeners had better know a good half of those.
