Bands No One Knows About

[Woofna 0]

What bands do you listen to that NO ONE ELSE seems to have ever heard of? I get this a lot, I have "odd" musical taste that is not limited to any one thing, though Industrial music seems to make the majority of my tastes. The bands I listen to, who no one seems to know about, are thus: (in order, the one on the top is the one someone is most likely to actually know about, the one at the bottom no one knows about, etc.)

 

Muse

Apoptygma Berzerk

Skinny Puppy

Pendulum

Sonic Mayhem

Trans-Siberian Orchestra/TSO

Savatage

Chris Caffery

 

 

So, what bands do YOU listen to that no one has ever heard of?

[Saracen 16]

Heard of them all at some point within the last few years. But man, Chris Caffrey!

 

There's a band I listen to called Head-on. They're a heavy metal band from a local town Reading which is just a few miles down the road from where I live. Their main inspirations is from Pantera, and their side projects, and they hold a very close relation to them. They used to go by the name Age of Ruin which some of you may have heard me hype about in these forums pre-2002.

 

I know the lead singer Logan and Oz the lead guitarist from a long time ago. Used to have beers with the guys and watch wrestling. But now they've got big, they don't have time to go to the bar for a few drinks like their pre-signed days.

 

Here's their web page

Chris Caffery is my godfather.

 

Not lying, although I'm sure that's reasurring over the interweb.

 

I frequent his forums, since he is the core of TSO and Savatage, his forums are pretty much their forums too.

[Guest Auronguardian]

I can imagine there are a plethora of other bands that would make our heads explode =P

 

But remember, just because it is a reletively unknown band doesnt mean it is good.

[mormreed 0]

actually there are alot of relatively unknown bands that pwn and those are the bands you hear and think to yourself "why aren't these guys (or girls) huge?"

[Azrael 0]

Yeah, well, that's common to alternative bands... And those that aren't "Mainstream", making them pretty much unrecognized by radio stations or TV stations... :roll:

[Luk3us 63]

Yeah but you have to remember a lot of the mainstream stuff really sucks... Not all but a hell of a lot of stuff...

[Azrael 0]

Most mainstream sucks, I don't need to be told that... :roll: But some mainstream's cool for me, though I won't mention them 'cause you all might say that it's a lapse in taste... :oops:

[mormreed 0]

its kinda half and half like there is alot of mainstream that sucks but there is also alot of relatively unknown stuff that sucks
