    Folk On - comedy folk... Brilliant

    Matchbox Twenty, Duke Special, Epic Hero, Runrig, Shed Seven, Billy Bragg, YFriday

    All are Awesome, but barely ever heard anyone talk about them! (though Runrig, Shed Seven and Billy Bragg are quite old)

    Hanni El Khatib.

    His first album, When Will the Guns Come Out, was brilliant. I always thought that some of his stuff was similar to The Black Keys. Hence, I wasn't surprised when I read this morning that Dan Auerbach will produce his next album.

    Not many people have heard of Jethro Tull, listen to the song `aqualung` by them!

    Sahara Surfers, they're a really great desert/stoner rock group, they sounds a bit like Kyuss/QOTSA but the singer sounds like the guy from Placebo or Silversun Pickups... I can't really describe it, just listen to this song:

    Faith No More are one of the greatest and most individual rock bands out there, yet no one under the age of 25 has a clue.

    I know Faith No More!


    Anyway, two artists that, for now, are not too well known are:

    Kyla La Grange
    Keaton Henson


    Have a feeling that will change though as both are being promoted on YouTube a bit.

    I have one artist who is completely underrated and deserves to be heard by everyone. He's a great acoustic singer/songwriter and when he delves into 'one man band' stuff he's amazing!

    The best way to reach his stuff is through his YouTube channel or on Spotify

    The ones which come to mind are Cat Power, Belle and Sebastian and Paper Route

    Particularly Paper Route, their defiantly one of my faves at the moment

    also im not sure if their particularly unheard of or not (but i only know a couple people who know them), but The Used and Deaf Havana are pretty damn awesome (going to see DH them late april )

    Radio Moscow are definitely worth a listen If you're into psychedelic blues rock.
    Their first two albums were quite good, although I still haven't listened to their latest album yet.





    YES! these guys are awesome.
    I think 'Lucky Dutch' is probably my favourite.
    Such amazing guitar solos...:daydreaming:
