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.

57 - Biffy Clyro
Tropical Iceland - Fiery Furances
Formed a Band - Art brut.
That's al;l for now.
Go listen.
(Mer De Noms and Thirteenth Step are both awesome)
Full System Purge- One of the best industrial bands I have ever listened to- kind of like a lighter Sonic Youth with imaginitive lyrics. Now sadly split up.
Diamond Head- Not well known out of heavy metal circles, but one of the most underrated bands of the 1980s, with a great guitarist in Brian Tatler. Very big influence on Metallica.
Funeral For A Friend (maybe not so unknown)
Hot Hot Heat
Billy Talent
Yellowcard
Hell is for Heroes
and a couple more that i cant remember...
> A Perfect Circle.
> Funeral For A Friend (maybe not so unknown)
Considering getting their album
> Hot Hot Heat
Bandages blah blah blah...
> Billy Talent
Poor.
> Yellowcard
Typical Aerican punk
> Hell is for Heroes
Decent 'background' music
Dredg (Not that brilliant, but some tracks are great)
Elliott
Cursive
In fact, I could list many, and to some they'd be obscure, others not. Ho-hum.
Mr. Bungle were one of Mike Patton's projects after Faith No More, and the three albums they released were pretty amazing, especially California.
They're amazing to listen to, their music defying any means of classification. I suppose you could describe them as every kind of music from the last 50 years rolled into the same, bizarre and wonderful package. One minute you can be listening to lively sixties jazz before it transforms suddenly and without warning into screaming thrash metal. Fantastic.
