Good bands that other people probably haven't heard of...

Everyone, especially you ATSers, HAS to listen to Pedro the Lion, anything from the album Control will give you a good idea. Dave Bazan's lyrics are insane... I know he has a way mellow voice but LISTEN TO WHAT HE'S SAYING... amazing lyrics with a message. Headphones is another project Dave has done... different music same Dave... you will have a very hard time finding Headphones stuff.

Nile
Death
Samson
Running Wild
3 Inches of Blood
Amon Amarth

They Swing real hard. James Morrison is pretty damn good too, considering he plays just about every single isntrument to a virtusoistic level.
Of course, unless you own at least 3 Miles Davis CD's, chances are you don't know anything about music anyway...

American Angel

Small time band from the early 90's
Good Rock. Not to hard, not to soft.

Kottonmouth Kings- If you live in california Im sure you have heard of them. Mix of hip-hop/punk rock, lots of rebel music.

Mower-Rock music, they only have one album out atm but its good stuff.

Mix Mob- Rock

Well I know a few bands that are lesser known.

Beangrowers
They are an Indie-Rock band from Malta.
There music's pretty good.

Follow the train
Honestly I don't know alot about them, I downloaded a few of their songs, there a Rock group, good music.

The Pillows
They're a J-Rock band.
They do the ending song for the anime FLCL (Foolie Coolie).

Noodles
They're a, well they have there own style of music I'm not quite sure what to call it, I guess maybe punk with hypo-pop mixed in.
Japanese band comprised of 3 japanese girls, started in the early nineties.
Really good band, great music.

Maneja Beto
They're a, well they call themselves a hip-hop band, don't know, hip-hop in Mexican sounds weird.
Based in Austin Texas.
Interesting style of music.

Most of the stuff I listen to is Techno/Trance/Ambient.

Delerium - Much like Enigma, but IMO a bit better. Favorite song: Flowers Become Screens.

Juno Reactor - Most of you probably haven't heard of this band, but I guarantee you've heard their music. I mean, who hasn't watched Matrix 2/3? Favorite song: Fallen Angel.

Mystical Sun - Very good ambient/trance. Favorite song: Blue Magnetic Ocean. You can actually listen to this song on my website.

Shpongle - VERY imaginative music... and uhh, sometimes very weird. Favorite song: (and this is the weirdest one of all) Divine Moments of Truth.

And when I feel like some loud music:
Velvet Acid Christ - I was surprised to see this posted

Balloonski
Reverend Jim's Cavalcade of Idiots
Run PCP
Funk Junkies
Michigan Wolverine Marching Band
Plastered
The CornBorers
Federal Spew Agency
Lok'd in da Addict
The Fish That Like Chocolate

Fudge

The Shaggs are amazing. If you can get some of their stuff I'd highly recomend it.

I have a list of great bands so obscure that
they don't even play or record. I won't even
bother posting them because you wouldn't
know them because I am cooler than all of
you put together.

Obscure bands make me cool.

Not sure if anyone has heard them in the us some of you in the uk maybe got to see these live in the castle ~No Hope In new Jersey ~ check them out.

not as obscure as some of the band above, but common...
Ani Difranco

Alot have heard of her, but haven't actually heard her.
Sorry, i have to
coming of age during the plague
of reagan and bush
watching capitalism gun down democracy
it had this funny effect on me
i guess

i am cancer
i am HIV
and i'm down at the blue jesus
blue cross hospital
just lookin' up from my pillow
feeling blessed

and the mighty multinationals
have monopolized the oxygen
so it's as easy as breathing
for us all to participate

yes they're buying and selling
off shares of air
and you know it's all around you
but it's hard to point and say "there"
so you just sit on your hands
and quietly contemplate

your next bold move
the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

what a waste of thumbs that are opposable
to make machines that are disposable
and sell them to seagulls flying in circles
around one big right wing

yes, the left wing was broken long ago
by the slingshot of cointelpro
and now it's so hard to have faith in
anything

especially your next bold move
or the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

you want to track each trickle
back to its source
and then scream up the faucet
'til your face is hoarse
cuz you're surrounded by a world's worth
of things you just can't excuse

but you've got the hard cough of a chain smoker
and you're at the arctic circle playing strip poker
and it's getting colder and colder
everytime you lose

so go ahead
make your next bold move
tell us
what's the next thing you're gonna need to prove
to yourself

Here's a few:

Lamb Of God
Bury Your Dead
Trivium
Mendeed
God forbid

Don't think that a lot of people have heard of them

I'm a hiphop fan, if you like true message music and true talent check this guys/groups out, if you don't then don't I don't give a rats ass. :bnghd:

Artists:
P.O.S
Immortal Technique
Brother Ali (By Far Best Poet of the New Mellinium)
Atmosphere AkA Slug AkA Sean Daily
Felt
Murs 40
Boom Bat Rap Project
Anax (www.acidplanet.com/anax) Me
Phiktion (www.acidplanet.com/phiktion)
Matisyahu
Blueprint
Grayskul
Dj Wicked
Bar Fly
Aceyalone
12Professors

It's funny how everyone got all shook up over Eminem being a white rapper and making it, when Slug is a million times better, and has real messages in his rhymes.

Brother Ali is funny though, doesn't he claim that he's albino black? when I saw him he looked very white to me. Still has good Rhymes though.
