Bands you love that nobody seems to have heard of?

[Jirai]

Machinae Supremacy for me, I listen to them all the time, but the only person I've ever run into who had actually heard of them and listened to them is IsaacGS (just when I thought he couldn't win anymore ;D)

Also, posts links to where people can hear these bands, and just maybe you'll spread the word of them :D

Myspace.com/MachinaeSupremacy (http://www.Myspace.com/MachinaeSupremacy)
There's my link^ :o

[DeathAlchemy]

Sneaker Pimps, Guitar Vader, and Nona Reeves, off the top of my head. Not much in the way of good relevant links for them though.

[Laur]

Owl City & Pierce the Veil are two that come to mind. :heart:

[Chompy]

Sneaker Pimps are a Pretty big band in my opinion ...
Non-Local bands..
(you should have- but most don't)
The Cramps
Sisters of Mercy
Agent Orange
Nekromatix
The Queers
The Pink Spiders
....
Bands You may not of heard...
Agent Orange
Young Werewolves
BloodSucking Zombies from outer space

[Tremulant]

The Drones. I love their music a ton but they're this Austrailian band no one seems to have heard of.

I'm glad you think so, but no one I mention them to knows who the hell I'm on about >_<;
I am going to see I Am X in concert in September, though.

[Jirai]

I seem to remember hearing the name Agent Orange somewhere on GameFAQs. The Metal board, maybe? Not sure.

They are a Punk Rock/ Surf Rock band with metal influences.
and they do metal covers...:f6:
But mostly do not really sound like metal at all.

[Magus]

They Might Be Giants.

I've been listening to Machinae Surpremacy for the past three or so years. They're great. Legion of Stoopid om nom nom.

NOBODY IN MY SCHOOL KNOWS ABOUT THE MARS VOLTA. HOWWWW.

:heart::heart::heart: OMFG. I first heard about them playing that spray painting game. They are amazingggg.

Umm I like Princess Superstar~ The raveonettes too but I don't think they are that obscure.

[Chompy]

They Might Be Giants.

They Might Be Giants are a HUGE band.
By far the biggest of all the aforementioned.
Really..
I think you just love them too much.:cool:

Edit: not that they do not deserve credit- they just are not my favorite cup of tea

Ya teh Raveonettes have really Sky-Rocketed.
Much akin to the Pink Spiders.

[FallenMemory]

Ummm "Force the Fallen" but their a pretty local band with just a couple CD's.

[ZuWrath]

Like NO ONE in my guild knows Iron Maiden >_<. . .

- Rare to see Coheed & Cambria fans.
- All That Remains
- Insane Clown Posse
- Dark Lotus
- Hillsongs United
- Pantera
- Skid Row
- Beegees

I have a lot more, most of which being 60s - 80s disco/rock/whatever xP.

I dunno, I think they fit the topic.
I have never met one person in real life who has even heard of them.

All the ones I bolded...
are VERY very well known.
Who the Hell does not no the BEEGEES!

[Great Buy! 99¢]

Future of Forestry o; A pretty local band from San Diego.
Also Minus the Bear, but ever since they were featured on MTV they got pretty big.
Oh and David & The Citizens and Figurines

[kleptophobia]

Metal:
Engel (http://youtube.com/watch?v=0LYDaEsSn7k) (Check for In Splendour)
Hail Of Bullets (http://youtube.com/watch?v=5npSPxyqXB8&feature=related)(The guys voice sounds like a chainsaw, but the rest is great)
Meshuggah (http://youtube.com/watch?v=qc98u-eGzlc) (Much less popular than they should be, basically Tool on steroids)
Epicurean (http://youtube.com/watch?v=F3Xu2rVzjrM) (From nearby ... but awesome, sorry about the video being for DBZ, I have no control over that ='[)

Other-crap:
The Vision Bleak (http://youtube.com/watch?v=HDRdgLXpC-g) (Like, strange... just look for She-Wolf or Kthulu)

ZuWrath: I'm a huge Pantera and Coheed & Cambria fan, and I've heard Insane Clown Posse, so they're all pretty famous...in my opinion ;D

[cyndi!]

Toru Okada.

& whoever said it's rare to find coheed and cambria fans.. uh.. since when? lmfao. i love me some c&c.

That band sounds like some sorta-Heavy-HorrorPunk Band.
From Europe:f6:

They're from Germany, and are something like "gothic metal", I don't remember the actual classification. I find it fun to listen to especially since I'm interested in all that horror stuff.

I listen to alot of HorrorPunk and Psychobilly.
Not for the Horror aspect as much but the general style really suits me.
If you like Metal and Horror check out Monsters and Blitzkid

[Beserker101]

I don't "love" them, but I do listen to them, Necromass. They aren't too bad for death metal but I have never heard of anyone else who listens to them (then again, I did find them looking for Italian death metal). I'm also starting to listen to Shai Hulud but I never seem to meet people who know of them (or if they do, I don't know they do).

Edit:
All the ones I bolded...
are VERY very well known.
Who the Hell does not no the BEEGEES!

All That Remains is fairly well known also (they got into Guitar hero 2 so the people who have played through that have at least heard of them). Even my girlfriend knows of them, and her knowledge of metal bands is laughable.

No one really knows who Relient K is... not that I like much of their music anyway.

Relient K is a HUGE BAND.
Like the MAINSTREAM JESUS BANDWAGON band of the world.

It's odd how MANY of my friends find me weird for listening to any one of those bands.

They refer to the following as such:

C&C - Rock wannabes
ICP - Psychotic idiots
Beegees - Old news

So yeah, I guess the real world is more different, hehe.

Also note that, they have never heard of either one, 'till I make them listen to them o-o.

[WiseAlon32]

hmmm ALOT, kinda...
bands like:
‏‏wormphlegm
alarum
sculptured
psio crew
dark hall
spastic ink
yakuza
behold... the arctopus

and alot of israeli bands.

[psychopat]

Machinae Supremacy is fairly known because of Hybrid, which was on the ITG games. Same goes for All that Remains with guitar hero...


10 Years.Good band :D Surprised someone else knows them...

Swollen MembersEveryone around here knows who they are... It's mostly because of Lady Venom, Fuel Injected, Deep End and Breathe (with Nelly Furtado... That got loads of radio play because I think it still counts towards the canadian content quotas)

Who is well known or not really depends on localization. Around here, practically no one knows Cold but I know they've had singles in the States, including collabs with Weezer & Staind. Their earlier stuff was way better than the later stuff :(

Anyway, my list would include
- Evans Blue (band out of Toronto)
- Emil Bulls (German band... also the best cover of "Take on Me" that I've heard)
- Channel One (Local band.. don't expect anyone else to know them)
- Breaking Benjamin (well known in the states, I think?)
- Chevelle (also known in the states, I think)
- Cinder
- Downface
- Hurt
- Flaw
- 40 Below Summer
- Institute (Bush's lead singer's band after Bush, before he went solo)
- (I know there's a bunch more but I'm not at home so I can't check my music library and my mp3 player is only a gig :cool: )

[Pockles]

Virgin Black -Australian band

[Pookie]

- Breaking Benjamin (well known in the states, I think?)
- Chevelle (also known in the states, I think)


Yea they're kindaaa well known.

Some of my bands would be umm
Télépopmusik
Camera Obscura
The Spinto Band
Calexico
etc.

I know they're not underground or anything but it seems like no one has heard of them :f4:

I live near Detroit and have been listening to ICP since ohhh the late 90's. I met them when they were nobody. And the last few are pretty well known, or so I thought :f6:

Anyways, my fav. not well known band/person is Citizen Cope. I loooooooove him. Amazing.

[Management]

The Armor Agenda
Elysia
Five Finger Death Punch (Possibly the most well known of the three mentioned)

[Nickish]

Asteria, ive heard about them when the drumer use to go to my school an i can say they have grown on me

[DarkGenzo]

The Armor Agenda
Elysia
Five Finger Death Punch (Possibly the most well known of the three mentioned)

Damn good band. Just saw them live, at the Mayhem Festival. xP

ANYWAY - As for me... Incidentally, they all have the same lead singer:

Maniac Spider Trash
Frankenstein Drag Queens from the Planet 13
Murderdolls (Should be sort of known, to Slipknot fans.)
Wednesday 13

Also- I guess you could put Motograter... they had one hit on the radio here... but other than a good friend - no one I know seems to know who they are. >_>

[kleptophobia]

Yeah I heard of Murderdolls, didn't like them much though. Five Finger Death Punch should change their name, it is way too in your face even though it is a great band...

Oh and no one seems to mention classical music, which besides metal, is my favorite genre. It is really beautiful. So:
Bach (especially harpsichords)
Dvorak (the seasons)
Wagner (Ride of the Valkyrie in specific)

[Stereo]

Can't really say how known they are in general but I hardly ever find people who've heard of them...

Straylight Run
Tegan & Sara

[WiseAlon32]

maybe because everyone heard about calssical composers?
btw, isnt Vivaldi the one that made the seasons?

[kleptophobia]

Well in MapleStory if you ask anyone if they listen to classical it is always a "NO!" and occasionally they'll just stare at me...

[Hatsu]

Himsa anyone? :chin:

[ahoboandahal]

Waking The Cadaver FTW! If youve never heard them before, you need to. It will change your life. In particular check out the songs Blood Splattered Satisfaction, Chased Through The Woods By A Rapist, and bludgeoned with a tire iron. They are SO GOOD .
