Frank Turner, this man is a lyrical T.S Eliot:

Eluveitie, awesome Folk Metal and the vocalist plays a tiny flute between his screaming.

Chromeo is a must hear... and in this case; a must watch.
Yeah, that JUST happened.

 

[sgt. soap mctavish]

You might know these guys: The Klok Worx. LISTEN TO THEM! THEY'RE AWESOME!

 

[StoneCutter]

Is it wrong that I came to this thread to skim for bands I recognize? I feel like I'm doing this wrong...
Anyways, Streetlight Manifesto seems to be a pretty unknown band. So is ska in general I suppose.

 

[Taldeer]

Most of the lesser known music I like is very theatrical, without being melodramatic. So, here goes: Kayo Dot; Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horses; Sleepytime Gorilla Museum; Evelyn Evelyn; A Whisper in the Noise; Guapo... so on...

 

[MICKnight1]

Fleet Foxes. Good old 70's folk music sound for the current "Indie" crowd.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

the Albert Einstein commission, they play some very alternative music, by the way, they are hungarian and their official name is Az Albert Einstein Eggyesulet

Nice to see I'm not the only one listening to Sunn O))) and Boris (my absolute favourite). On the other hand I listen to alot of messed up artists like Nurse With Wound, Current 93, Psychic TV, Xasthur, Venetian Snares, and some more "normal" bands and formations like Pelican, Ulver, Eluvium, Dead Can Dance, Arcana (perfect music to listen to while playing a fantasy-themed game) and most of the bands playing in the drone metal genre (Jesu, Earth, Nadja, Black Boned Angel, etc). I think I can safely be called a hipster when it comes to music, as my favourites roster looks all the way like this.

 

[Cyd0n1a]

Ewert And The Two Dragons, Le Futur Pompiste, Blood Command, Siinai, Cats on Fire and such.

 

[Telba]

Hmm, I would say Dr. Steel:

[Jareth43]

Scars of life. If you know them, your a true metal head

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

NiCad.
Not their best song, honestly, but the one people like the most.

My friend introduced them to me since he knows them personally. They've been in the papers a few times but never actually blew up.
Which is a shame. They're really quite good.
