what is your favourite little known band? + Free single from girls

[DrScoobs]

HEALTH, actually not that obscure. Just not mainstream or very well recognised at least not in the UK. Did the Crimewave track with Crystal Castles. (I love Crystal Castles!)

saw them live along with crystal castles last week . not too shabby

Awesome, I saw them just over a week ago as well. Roundhouse Camden, you? I was so bruised after that gig! Was unbelieveable, met Alice afterwards as well.

at the rock city in nottingham . crowd surfed like 4 times and alice landed right on top of me when she fell into the audience . was pretty sicck

 

[RanD00M]

Le Sexoflex. No one that I know of has heard of them. Although they have never really released an album. But they have their singles online for free on their website.

 

[tigermilk]

+ Elbow (dont know anyone outside of the uk who knows of them)

I sold elbows first ep for £100 (probably more than it was worth so that was pleasing. Be interesting to see what everyones definition of "little known" is.

 

[Arkhangelsk]

They're small, but they're bloody awesome. And they're Swedish!

Also, a Swedish band called This Is Not A Game Of Who The Fuck Are You:

[Candlejack]

A band called Sulek. Ever heard of them? No?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4quaFmnvj0&feature=channel

This is their song Oregon, accompanied by an epic hand drawn music video, as all of their songs are.

Candlejack? OHSHITNOESITHOUGHTYOUWEREJUSTAMEME! Heeeeeeeeeeeee

Yeah, no such luck.

Also, you wouldn't happen to have any rope with you, would you? I'm fresh out.

 

[jackanderson]

Tokyo Police Club.

And now I, jackanderson, have won this thread thanks to that submission.

Don't believe me? Listen to the A Lesson In Crime EP and then bow down to your new superiors.

If I said yes, would you happen to let me go?

Well I know a couple of. I'm a metal and rock fan and there are many really awesome bands here in Finland. Mokoma, Stam1na, Viikate etc. They sing in Finnish so.... And also Poets of the Fall which is an awesome band too. Some of you might have heard of them.

Poets of the Fall is awesome.

THis is were we all should see red

 

[Steve Dark]

Cloud Cult. At first you're like, yeah ok. Then you're like actually that's not bad. And then you're like THESE GUYS ROCK! They're like the Minecraft of Bands...

(Little bit of topical Game comparison for ya there)

 

[Thespian]

Cake.

The best song ever. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OF43shMjs0o&ob=av3n]

EDIT: Totally forgot. La Caution... You might recognize this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3jHvvn-vFQ] from Ocean's Twelve.

 

[WrongSprite]

Well, anyone who's heard of Agalloch gets multiple cookies.
One of my favourite bands.

 

[xplosive59]

There are bands that are really famous but really should be alot more popular such as The Devin Townsend Project and Paradise Lost.

OT: alot of proggressive metal bands such as Pagans Mind and Shadow Gallery

 

[Mr Fixit]

Ozomatli & Brainstorm, not real sure if anybody knows about them or not, most of the people i know have never heard of them, so....

 

[Kris015]

Katatonia and Kellermensch

 

[wickermole]

around

 

[unicron44]

Umphrey's McGee who I just saw in concert last week. There a jam band similar to Phish.

New Years Day is pretty cool, but they get a lot of comparisons to Paramore.

The Hold Steady rock.

Hockey Night, even though they broke up were good.

My favorite little known bands are Lagwagon and Jawbreaker. My favorite song is a Lagwagon cover of Jawbreaker's "Want". It's the best of both worlds for me.

 

[ToxinArrow]

Trocadero. They do the soundtrack for Red vs. blue, and they're fantastic.

 

[Baldry]

Uhm I shall go with Anamanaguchi...Allow me to...enlighten you...

 

[theSovietConnection]

I'd say either my cousin's band, Punish Them, or The Caesars (they may be bigger elsewhere, but practically nobody around here knows them).
