    There are heaps of Australia bands out there that no one has heard of. There are also the few that are well known such as Jet, The Vines, and Silverchair. I love aussie bands (does that surprise you? :p ) and you guys would to if you had heard them!

    This is a list of Australian bands that I have heard of. There are heaps more out there which I haven't heard. You might know some of these (I don't know how well known they are around the world) but you should check out the ones you haven't. Click the name to go to their site.

    Tapered Edges
    28 Days
    Grinspoon
    The Butterfly Effect
    The Living End
    Full Scale
    Antiskeptic
    Savage Garden
    Jerk
    Superheist
    Betchadupa
    Jebediah
    For Amusement Only
    Best Kept Secret
    Powdefinger
    The Cat Empire
    Magic Dirt
    Frenzal Rhomb
    Something For Kate
    The Superjesus
    Killing Heidi
    1200 Techniques
    Machine Gun Fellatio
    Hilltop Hoods
    The Dissociatives
    Jet
    The Vines

    Out of these, my favourites are Tapered Edges, 28 Days, Full Scale, Antiskeptic, Jerk, The Vines, and The Living End.

    What are some Australian bands you have heard? What do you think of those bands I posted?

    Edit: Feel free to post other Australian bands that I haven't listed. I will add them into the big list ^_^ . If you can, please post the link to their site because sometimes I can't find it.

    You might not be saying that if you listened to some of the other Australian bands.

    I've listened to a few songs by a lot of those bands and I don't really like them. Jerk is the only one I really like.

    You finally listened to Jerk?! GOOD WORK! Check out Tapered Edges (if you haven't already. Keaton likes them!). They are too awesome.

    Hey Will, didn't you say all Australian bands sucked last night?

    Yeah, but I was joking. :lol:

    I like Grinspoon, too, but only "Champion."

    What other Grinspoon songs have you heard? There are some really good songs, some of them aren't as good as the others. My favourites are "Champion," "Don't Change," "More Than You Are," "Lost Control," "Chemical Heart," "No Reason," and "Damn Straight"

    Aussie bands are the best kept secret in the world.
    I love our local stuff, they have the best sound and stage presence.
