Most Obscure Band no ones heard of

[NeoAC]

I got enough to fill a cruise ship; Brain Failure, A Day at the Fair, Face To Face, Fingertight, The Juliana Theory, Manana, Longwave, Letter Kills, Modern Day Zero, Nachlader, the aptly named Never Heard of It, Noise Pollution, Quietdrive, Raven Maize, Stellastarr*, and my band du jour, Babamars, who may not have a wikipedia page, but have had "The Core" played 188 times on my iPod since downloading it yesterday.

 

[Marv21]

Moldy Peaches, ohhhh thats right they sold out lol.

 

[DrunkenKitty]

Maps and Atlases, Mouthful of Bees, The Microphones, Tapes 'n Tapes

Tapes 'n' Tapes just played here in Portland last Wednesday.

 

[ampa451]

i got another one that you might know. the Butthole Surfers.

 

[Fink-rat]

INTOXICATED GEESE

 

[Jonathan Hexley]

Gogol Bordello or some bonus band from Rock Band 2.
Of course, saying no one in my school knows them isn't saying much. They haven't heard of bloody Smashing Pumpkins.

 

[KungFuMaster]

Oh, and Mudmen

Drink and Fight! I met those guys!

You're a bastard, and I hate you. ;P

Butthole Surfers = Obscure? Somebody was obviously a baby in the nineties...

...I am utterly amazed and bow at your feet; you're the only person in this thread who has managed to post something I haven't heard of. \m/

Tapes 'n' Tapes just played here in Portland last Wednesday.

Did you see them? I bet it was a kick-ass show.

 

[Portkins]

I like me some "Devin Townsend"

Canadian music, eh?

 

[JokerGrin]

No-one Wished To Settle Here (one man band, beautiful instrumental music, FREE! Google and check out his myspace)
Explosions in the Sky (again, instrumental)
SepticFlesh (probably more well known, great symphonic metal, used to be "Septic Flesh", very important space!)
Moonspell (Gothic metal, couple of dodgy albums, some great)
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (er, rather hard to describe)

 

[Sewer Rat]

Eluveitie, Celtic Pagan Folk metal...
E Nomine, Their style is just unexplainable

 

[Seann]

Behold... The Arctopus.

Look them up. They're actually terrible.

 

[clarinetJWD]

Capillary Action. I can't really say a genre, because one minute it could be jazz, with metal the next. (Album to check out: So Embarrassing)

Hella. Better known, but weird yet awesome (Albums: For weird, look at "Hold Your Horse Is", for OMG WEIRD, try "Bitches Ain't Shit, but Good People")

 

[Ionami]

Metallica

What are you talking about?

And mine is Boards Of Canada.

 

[perfectimo]

Metallica

What are you talking about?

And mine is Boards Of Canada.

I have a couple of Boards of Canada albums.

I am from Australia so some of these bands may be more common over seas. Here are my entries:

-Hercules and Love Affair
-The Kooks (I am pretty sure they are a lot more famous in the UK)
-Sonic Boom
-Thenewno2
-Television
-Unkle
-Van She

Anyone heard any of these?

 

[Grand_Poohbah]

Dr. Acula. They are bad don't listen to them.

 

[Alphavillain]

"Duran Duran Duran". Or any other band featured in "The Wire" music magazine.

 

[Abedeus]

Polish bands, like Blog 27 (GAAAH), Big Cyc (translates to Big Boob - pretty good band) or Formacja Żywych Schabów (Formation of Living Roast Pork - ditto).

Also, I do believe Kopriklaani (Swedish if I recall) is pretty good. Beer Beer is an awesome song ;d
