You know the ones.
I'm sure everyone has a band they love that most people have never heard of before.
Spread the word. Let's all feel special together.
I'll start off with Dredg
I'm also really bad at describing music, so bear with me. Polar
Bloody fantastic, by all accounts.
Their first album was quite hard, grunge-type - but their second, El Cielo is much more melodic and simply wonderful.
The album is themed around sleep paralysis, so expect a few weird choones about with divine lyrics. The songs can send you to sleep one minute, make you want to jump around the next - verying widely in styles, but everything fits together perfectly and is wonderful for that connection.
Most good. Buy.
You go.

Remember who got you into Dredg, punk :)
New album out sometime this year (hopefully) which should be good. I have a feeling that it may be something of a let down though, not because it'll be bad but purely because it won't be as big a shift as there was from Leitmotif to El Cielo. Cracking band though, actually doing something original.

A Perfect Circle not obscure?
Metaphor for a missing moment
Pull me into your perfect circle
One womb One chain One resolve
Liberate this will
To release us all
Gotta cut away, clear away snip away and sever this umbilical residue
Keeping me from killing you

Well you are entitled to your opinion, but honestly i think all of those bands are very good. Hot Hot Heat, have some other good tracks which maybe you havent listened too. Billy Talent are IMO another brilliant band, as are Yellowcard. They make for good alternative rock music, and i would recommend them to anybody. I am also under the impression that you havent heard much of Hell Is For Heroes, for you to say they make for good background music.
Oh and enjoy Funeral For A Friend's album, it is great, i'm glad you agree on that one.

Another Mike Patton project, which is stange is Fantomas. The first album is unexplainable. The music for the new lynx advert where the bloke picks up the can and sprays himself, and then the rope round his legs pulls him away. Is done by Fantomas.

Yes. Another Mr Bungle fan. They are well worth a listen if you can spare any time.

Meat Loaf.
Certainly not obscure, but nevertheless overlooked in this day and age when they by far deserve the same kind of continued recognition that Guns 'n' Roses enjoy.

Hamell On Trial - Go out and buy Choochtown. Now! It's a superb album. One guy, one acoustic guitar, a hell of a lot of rocking, comedy and a story. What more could you want?
Five For Fighting - For all you Crows and Matchbox 20 fans out there this guy is amazing, you might have heard "Superman", I think it was used on Smallville or something.....my personal fave is "2 Frogs".
Idiot Kings - Kind of mellow rock, I guess? Check out their site, and if you live near Brighton, check them out at the end of the month..... [URL]www.idiotkings.co.uk[/URL]
