Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.I saw them live in 2008, yeah I was young bit WHOAA. It was at o2 Wireless Festival and literally a week before the event they were put on to one of the smaller stages and at that point I was going through a huge RATATAT phase and needless to say, they were mindblowing. Literally 2 meters away from the both of them, theyre getting bigger in the US now, they were in KiD CuDi's Pursuit of Happiness

Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.well if u like mando diao maybe u'll like Neverstore and Carolina Liar? first is also a Swedish band and the second is american but everyone except for the vocalist is Swedish x)(Original post by glesni.)
Love love love ratatat, my boyfriend introduced me to them mid-August.
Managed to see them in Brighton in December
They are ridiculously good live
To add to list of unheard of bands:
Mando Diao
Jennifer Rostock (German but still good)
Kyla la Grange
The Whigs (I saw them support Kings of Leon) -

Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.Absolutely! Elbow are brilliant.(Original post by Calabash)
Elbow are sooo underrated. Their music is innovative but moving and their lyrics are deeply poetic. -

Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.Elbow really aren't that unheard of - they won the Mercury Prize, right? And like a number one album after that?
Try:
The Mercury Program
Don Caballero
Kayo Dot
Botch
American Football
Mogwai
Just a completely random cross section of my itunes there haha. -

Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.To name but a few:
Neal Morse
Spock's Beard
Transatlantic
The Flower Kings
...for fans of Genesis, Pink Floyd, ELP, Yes, King Crimson etc. (and for fans of modern progressive metal, to a lesser extent.)
Threshold
Haken
Vanden Plas
Seventh Wonder
Circus Maximus
Dreamscape
...for fans of Dream Theater, Opeth, Symphony X, etc. (and for fans of 70s prog, to a lesser extent.)
EDIT:
Gustav Mahler as well, as an underrated classical composer. Ask a random member of the public to name 10 composers, and Mahler probably won't feature in their list, but undeservedly so - as he was a genius on par with Beethoven (and much more so than Mozart - who is overrated IMO). Mahler wrote arguably the most cathartic, complex, beautiful, yet contradictory music ever IMO, so if you like classical music I suggest you give it a listen.Last edited by mc1000; 09-01-2011 at 13:19. -

Re: Amazing Bands/Artists that No-one Knows.Maccabees were pretty high up the bill on main stage at Leeds.(Original post by nnnomi)
The Maccabees do NOT get enough play/recognition. They are amazing.
Also agree with Miike Snow & dan le sac vs Scroobius Pip. Giving Ratatat a listen now.
dan le sac vs Scrrobius Pip may be but if you youtube one of their most popular songs like thou shalt always kill it has tons of views. -
