The rules are simple: link to a song or songs by a band that doesn't have any views/listens over ~700k. The idea is to introduce good bands that might otherwise be hard to come by. I've found some really awesome music this way and I hope to continue that trend. It can be any genre, language, whatever! Just give a short blurb about what type of music it is so people know what they're getting into.

 

Trust - Capitol

A synthpop group from Toronto

 

Museum - The Law

Alternative band out of Berlin

 

Rubik - World Around You

Indie pop/rock from Finland (although I think they broke up recently)

 

Hollowmoon - Blue Eyes

Indie group from the UK, sounds a bit like The Doors

 

Detektivbyran - Generation Celebration

Swedish electronica/folk with no vocals, just music boxes, accordion, glockenspiel, keyboard, and drums (it's awesome)

 

Wintergatan - Starmachine2000

Similar to above as it's the new project of one of Detektivbyran's members, but the video is cool

 

So yeah, please share because I need some new music!

 

 

[Rusty Sandusky]

3PAC - SON

[Derpy]

3PAC - SON

3PAC is here.

[Iron Fist]

Can they be from any time period?

 

If so...

 

Truly - Fast Stories from Kid Coma (an entire album from 1995, rated by AllMusic)

 

Truly is a 90s grunge band that never really took off, featuring members from the Screaming Trees and Soundgarden. It is still around.

[mybudgee]

Snake Rattle Rattle Snake
The Sword
Skeletonwitch
Jimkata
Death Grips

[EarthboundNess]

These guys: Dead Letter Circus - Cage

 

Not sure how popular they actually are on their own turf, but they deserve more attention elsewhere.

[Ruadh]

Yeah, I'm posting from my PS3 so I can't link, but . . .

 

Japanese Voyeurs. Now defunct, but released one album. Female fronted, grungy as hell.

 

Vukovi. Unsigned band from Scotland. Again female fronted, but this band is more pop rock I guess. Either way, the pipes on this chick are impressive.

[Laamaa]

Austra , electro band from Toronto.

 

[Ribosome]

Recent favourites:

 

Have a Nice Life [Shoegaze]

Christian Death [Goth rock/post-punk]

Current 93 [Neo-folk]

Primordial [Black/folk metal]

††† [Electronic]

Junius [Post-rock]

dälek [Hip-hop]

Summoning [Black metal]

[AnAverageGamer]

This song doesn't have many views, though some of theirs do, so take this suggestion with a grain of salt.

I know Poets of the Fall have some exposure from the games they supplied music to (Max Payne 2 and Alan Wake), but I think they're still relatively unknown overall. I never hear them on the radio.

A small and completely random selection of some under-the-radar bands I really like:

Assemblage23 - Spark
Puscifer - Undertaker
Unkle - Ever rest
HUVA Network - Something Heavens

[Jorji Costava]

This band isn't that obscure, but their best known song ("Web in Front") has about 130K views, so I guess they count. The song I linked ("White Trash Heroes") is uncharacteristic of their usual style, although front man Eric Bachmann did eventually start his own band called Crooked Fingers, which does a lot of stuff more like that song.

 

Another somewhat obscure act I like is Dirty Three; they consist of a violinist, a guitarist and a drummer. Kind of a folksy sound to them; there's no singing at all in 99% of their songs (a lot of music I like is like that, actually; I guess I just don't find the human voice as compelling an instrument as a lot of people do, although maybe that's just because mine sucks). Anyways, here's a song that's pretty representative of their style. It's called "Sue's Last Ride."

[Gorthaur the Cruel]

The Nurse Who Loved Me, by Failure (Alternative rock)

Clean Today, by Katatonia ( Alternative Metal?)

As Horizons End, by Paradise Lost (Gothic Metal)

 

I'm not sure if any of these bands are hard to come by, but I never hear about them, so I assume they aren't.

[professor_chaos19]

my absolute favourite band - the scanners have three albums out now

 

this one is from their third album

[xAmilli0n]

ASIWYFA - GANGS

 

Think post-rock that doesn't take itself seirously mixed in with Tom Morello's silly sound effects.

[Druk-Qs]

I have a slew of them

 

A huge chunk of the bands I have in my last.fm (http://www.last.fm/user/GoatUser) qualify your description, so check that if you or anyone else wishes to find something more out there.

 

The one I'm currently obsessed with though....

 

 

 

Also, Scratch Acid, Brainbombs (Beware of the lyrics which are ridiculously offensive), and Unwound

[Jorji Costava]

The Nurse Who Loved Me, by Failure (Alternative rock)

Clean Today, by Katatonia ( Alternative Metal?)

As Horizons End, by Paradise Lost (Gothic Metal)

 

I'm not sure if any of these bands are hard to come by, but I never hear about them, so I assume they aren't.

 

Missed this earlier, but those last two bands actually started out as pretty crazy underground heavy metal bands, complete with growly vocals and stuff. Here are some samplings of their older stuff:

 

Paradise Lost: Rotting Misery

Katatonia: Rainroom

 

In a similar vein, there's the contrast between the newer Anathema (a band from England with a similar history) and the old Anathema.

[DeathNyx]
