the best bands you probably never heard of!

[skidmarx]

since we have a very international community i thought it would be cool to share some music that most members would be unfamiliar with. only two rules: 1 no mainstream BS and 2 stuff without much offensive content.

some of my favorites:

Strapping Young Lad (00's metal)

Elevator To Hell (later renamed Elevator Through, 90's alternative)

Rusty (90's alternative)

Just great folk music.

 

[Shoot2Kyll]

Underhero - Realtime radio

Ignore the music video (I have no clue who is doing it and it's weird) but the song is one of my favorites on my iPod as well as:

Kissinger - Green

 

[DBloke]

Big Elf

Think Black Sabbath meets Pink floyd and trys to play the beetles in a different key
Wont link to videos as there music is very album based (Try HEX its starts out very Sabbath then goes into a kinda beetles mode.

comments so far:

@lazy jack- peel the onion was annoying at first but it grew on me pretty fast. amazed that the two youngsters played so well.

@shoot2kyll- i'm surprised i never heard of underhero before, it sounds like something the mainstream would pick up. Kissinger was cool too.

@Dprinny- Big Elf rules! i have a friend with a huge cd/tape/record collection and i doubt he has any of them. i will reccomend it to him.

@adtr123- we had the current metal scene discussion before and i will get back to that when i'm in the mood.

keep 'em coming guys!

did you get what you came for - calliope

I like this songs cause it has a kickass sitar part (I think it's sitar)

 

[DBloke]

Heres another you might now.
Joe Bonamassa (also in Black Country Communion a kinda super group with Glenn Hughes, Jason Bonham, Derek Sherinian) Also has a radio show on offical great station Planet Rock (B.C.C did there first album on there live exclusively)
Bit like some of Gary Moores stuff

Recommended albums (singles are for pussys)
You and Me
Blues Deluxe
Black Country
A new day yesterday

[DBloke]

Not really funny Blues stuff
Theres a lot of rock stuff he does
Burning Hell and Walking blues stand out as not really Blues (off the last album I listened to)
