Okay i hope this has never been done before but here it goes. Post bands you like that a large majority of the people here have never heard of. You can post local bands or whatever. Things to included are a brief discription, what sort of music they play, whereabouts (not in too much detail, lol) and maybe a myspace link. Post away. sorry about thread title i'm not sure how to change it to we've?
CALABRESE! The lead singer looks like the lost child of Trent Reznor and Glenn Danzig, with a voice hybrid of Davey Havok and Glenn Danzig (imagine Davey doing a realy good Danzig impersonation without marbles in his mouth). HORRORPUNK FTW <333 i'll post the link later, im lazy <3
Pleymo. A french nu-metal band from Paris. The band is composed of six musicians: Mark "Kemar" Maggiori (vocals), Frank "Kefran" Bailleul (DJ and vocals), Erik Villoutreys (guitars), Davy "Vost" Portela ( guitars), Benoit "B-1" Juliard (bass) and Fred "Burns" Ceraudo (Drums). They're very famous in France, Japan and a bit in Russia. Here is the link: http://www.pleymo.net/
litmuss they are band in new york and i've perfromed a show with them before, i beleive they play pretty well check them out at their myspace. http://www.myspace.com/litmuss They have the videos of our performances from our last concert up on there too
Damn. You took my answer! Anyways, since I can't say them I nominate Circus Of Dead Squirrels http://www.myspace.com/circusofdeadsquirrels They're Circus Industrial Metal. Very funny, especially the songs Elmo Must Die and 8bit Piece of Shit
Uhuh. Oh and if JD reads this: JD I think you'll like this band alot. I know you hate French, but this band is good.
TERA MELOS Think Black Flag meets Thelonious Monk meets early Mars Volta. Really good instrumental band from Sacramento, California. http://www.myspace.com/teramelos THIS WILL DESTROY YOU Beautiful, yet upbeat instrumental band from San Marcos, Texas. The use of keys really makes this band sound so amazing. Quiet is the best post-rock track I've ever heard. http://www.myspace.com/thiswilldestroyyou YNDI HALDA Something from England. Those who like Godspeed You! Black Emperor would really love this. Just like GY!BE but with no political agenda's. Once again, amazing instrumental band. http://www.myspace.com/yndihalda CIRCLE TAKES THE SQUARE Amazing, almost poetic screamo. Best lyrics I've ever read, As the Roots Undo is probably the best album ever. If anyone wants to hear a personal favorite of mine, Interview at the Ruins, ask, I'll up. An excellent blend of chaos and beauty. http://www.myspace.com/circletakesthesquare ZOLOF THE ROCK & ROLL DESTROYER My best friend, Rachel Minton' band. Really, really fun pop punk / powerpop. Seriously, if you ever want a smile put on your face, just listen to a track by them. Plus, she (Rachel) wrote Argh, I'm a Pirate to me, which is cute. But yeah, really fun band that makes you want to move and smile. http://www.myspace.com/zoloftherockandrolldestroyer
Ever We Fall Great band thats sort of hard to put in one genre. Sort of pop-punk, mixed with alternative rock. Im not sure, but trust me there good. Listen to "No Words To Describe", its amazing. Thornley You might have heard of them, as they had one big song, but most people dont know of them. There a great rock band with a great singer. Try "Beautiful", its one of there best songs. The Shins Absolutely amazing. Might have heard of them before, as they are kind of in the middle of well known, and not known. They're just great, listen to Pink Bulllets, its there best song in my opinion.
I love that song. -- Nina May I made a thread on them, i think its on the 2nd page, no one posted though lol. They are a progressive rock band from Brisbane Australia. www.myspace.com/ninamaymusic You should check them out, i love the songs Higher Than You Do and Monsters in the Dark.
hey I know The Shins. saw them on SNL, they were pretty good! I couldn't listen to them for a long period of time though, a little too soft. Panda is a local band near me that got nominated on Live 105's top 5 local bands to open up for BFD, but they didn't win. I still think they're good though. http://myspace.com/pandaplaysmusic
Black Iris www.myspace.com/blackirismusic They're a couple of my friends band, and a damned good metal/alternative rock band IMO.
I just wanted to say: Cursive There an interesting alternative rock band, who have a cellist. Heres there MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/cursive Listen to Art is Hard.
The Bronx They're not the most unknown band around nor are they local but I've been recommending them to people for the past couple of years, usually in vain. Think Kyuss or QOTSA condensed into a punk band. Most of the unknown local bands I can think of aren't much special anyway.
The Raveonettes. Alt rock group from the Netherlands, who recorded an entire album in B flat minor and another album in B flat major. The Servant. Pop/hip-hop group from the UK. Their music can be found on the Sin City soundtrack. Poets of the Fall. From Finland! The Pipettes. Girl pop from the UK. The Fire Theft. Old-school emo. Also worthy of note: The Stone Roses, Slowdive, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Appleseed Cast, 33 West, Desole, Universal Hall Pass, Failure, Sunny Day Real Estate, Caroline Spine, and The Soviettes.
