Awesome bands that seemingly nobody knows.

For all the music-lovers out there, this is your place to swap lyrics, talk about new bands and jazz about concerts. All things related to the audio world belong here.

Someone mentioned Common Children on the first page. They're pretty cool!


Another CC fan. Awesome. They are without a doubt, the most underrated Christian band of all time.

Another underrated christian band that doesn't get the respect due to them is Grammatrian. The best "Seattle grunge" band. Period.

To throw a few more names out there...

Olivia Tremor Control: This slightly wacky group did a bunch of those sorts of albums that are supposed to tell deep, involved stories that dodn't really make any sence. About half their "songs" are actually sound effect reels, but it's always interesting.

Papas Fritas: Stripped down but really catchy indie-pop. Their song "The Way you Walk" was in a breath mint commercial a few months back, though that one doesn't really represent their best moments very well. These three can harmonize like nobody's buisness.

Zoobombs: A Japanese Garage Rock/Rap band. Don't care too much for the rap parts myself, but the rock parts are pretty cool.

Kula Shaker: Actually, these guys were really famous in Britan for about five minutes back around 2000. Anumber of their songs get caught up in eastern mysticism, which is unfortunate, but there's not denying that they did some great brit-rock singles.

The Waiting: One of the best Christian rock bands out there, yet as far as most people I know are concerned, they just droped of the face of the earth without a trace. Frustrating.

The Three 4 Tens: Really cool garage band rock, highlighted by the fact that (unlike most garage bands) these guys can actually sing.

Of Montreal: Not to slight R.E.M., but the hands-down best band to come out of Athens, Georgia is this one right here. Some of the happiest, catchiest music of the past two decades.

The Pebbles: All-girl Japanese garage rock. This is what the 5.6.7.8.'s would sound like if they ever took a music lesson.

Rockfour: Probobly the only band mentioned in this topic that's from Israel. More great, harmony-driven pop-rock.

Simian: Another indie/college pop band. The local college radio station down here really likes these guys. The song "La Breeze" was in some comercial last year as well, but it was gone so fast that I don't even remember what it was for (not a succesful ad, eh?)

Optiganally Yours: One more indie-pop band. Apparently, the name comes from the Optigan: an "optical organ," manufactured in the '70s by Mattel, stores its sounds on a collection of celluloid optical discs. Does that mean anything to anyone? Probobly not, but how often do you get to use the words "celluloid optical discs" in a post?

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant: These guys are pretty big in Japan right now, but nobody I know has ever heard of them. They're not as theatrical as most J-rock bands and (as far as I know) they've never done any anime soundtracks, but they're a great punk-rock combo. The Hives wish they could be this band.

I've heard of "Three Michelle Gun Elephant." I've never actually heard their music but I've heard of the band...I'll probably check these guys out sometime.

Another good Jrock band is...B's good pop punk stuff. From what I've heard they remind me a little of Slick Shoes.

I know I just posted but that was a reply. This is my own list.

Geggy Tah (alternative)
Bella Fleck and the Flecktones (folk, barely)
Oysterhead (of course) (alternative/where does Les Claypool fit again?)
Soggy Bottom Boys <g>
Kruder & Dorfmeister (Downtempo)
Royksopp (Downtempo from Sweden)
Kurt Elling (Jazz)
Malcom & Alwin (yeah! Jesus Movement) Good luck finding their album.
Mustard Seed Faith (Jesus movement again)

I think that should be enough for now.

Are you referring to my bands, That Dude? If you are...don't feel bad...I don't think too many people have heard of them. Lux Courageous, I happened to find by going to see another band 'Stars Hide Fire' and I think they opened for them. Like Yesterday I found also by going to see another band, which was 'Army of Me.' As Tall As Lions was at a big music festival and I happened to catch their show. ^_^ I enjoy all three muchly...so yeah...you should take a listen!!

Dude, Sackcloth Fashion--I've heard them sing with Red Cloud. And I've heard their name different places. They're good!
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone
And so hold on when there is nothing left in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!' ...you'll be a Man, my son!
