Bands few people have heard of (good ones)

nosmo

List them! Most people i know have CDs by loads of bands I hadn't heard of, so there must be plenty of them here.
C'mon...
I bored and I have 3 irish essays to do for tomorrrow... try me.
I'll get the ball rolling:
Pitchshifter
Dead Kennedys
Limp Bizkit (OK, this one <I>is</I> a joke.not that i'd ever listen to them)
-
PS: WTF has happened to my post count? I had more than this after the first week of CTYI this year!

Alk3

Alkaline Trio -- but they are getting more well know.
Hoobastank -- see above.
Dashboard Confessional
Stabbing Westward
American Hi-Fi
Jimmy Eat World -- getting a lot more well know.

Lol, ah yes. E-commerce 2001. Whilst Edna tried to teach us ever so complicated HTML and Java, we abused Boards.ie with useless SAPM!!! Not spam - SAPM! And Hugh came up with the name for the doomed CTYI Bored. And other stuff, but yes, we abused Boards.ie except I can't remember my old username so I lost my 200+ postcount, ah nevermind. The mods were slightly less than amused by our ramblings and SAPM though. Ah, memories ...

Dermo

ok first off, Hugh, Dead Kennedys split ages ago, their lead singer left but the rest of the band created a new band and are now scamming ppl out of their money by going around advertising their tours as Dead Kennedys but it ain't them

BOB!!
I introduced u to Hoobastank, Dashboard Confessional and to the rest of Jimmy Eat World's greatness(PS: did I mention Jimmy Eat World were also voted the gr8est every band in the first every Dermo awards!!), and Stabbing Westward split, well I think

and other bands:
Promise Ring(Playing with Jimmy Eat World on the 23rd May in the Ambassador)
Fuel(LISTEN TO THEM!!)
Jimmy Eat World
Incubus(well they are getting bigger)
Get Up Kids
Jimmy Eat World
Craig's Brother(just started listening to them myself)
New Found Glory
Jimmy Eat World
Puddle Of Mudd

that will be all for now, oh yeah and listen to Jimmy Eat World, THAT IS AN ORDER!!!

Dermo

oh yes, I nearly forgot, JIMMY EAT WORLD

ps. I forgot to add Michelle Branch to that list, she ain't a band, but she's got one

very few ppl have heard of them over here, fairly big in America tho...in my opinion best band in the world....listen to them god damn you!

Farlz

Isolation

...gODHEAD

Yurmasyurda

An underground english rock group called "CUD" they were musically and lyrically very good!

dera

the magnetic fields

paul o'reilly

josh ritter

joy division (although more people than i suspect do know them..)

will oldham/bonnie prince billy/palace brothers

the breeders, and speaking of whom ...

..the pixies (although maybe they're kind of obvious..)

the jimmy cake

oh gosh and Nick Drake!

... wowsers that's a list of pretty amazing artists (I really hope they're all better known than I think, they certainly deserve to be!) ...

bubbles from me,

alaskagirl

I have a Jethro Tull +iron butterflies t-shirt from years ago when they came to alaska. my parents went! wow. they are old. anyways, Jimmy Eat World was on SNL last night. It was great. gotta love 'em.

Some alaskan bands that are super super superduper good. i'll bring their cds over session 1 :

The Roman Candles
The Audreys
7/10 Split
Subconscious



they are splendiferous. i also like the Ataris and dashboard confessional. WOW!THIRD EYE BLIND!!! thats amazing. yeah they were really big here about three years ago! And alaska is behind on everything! well, not as much anymore, but pretty behind.

lordsippa

Jethro Tull were famous as the band that refused to play the original Woodstock.

smiles

Dara are very good to mellow too

oh and picture house.

<< Fio >>

Focalbhach

I don't know how well known generally these bands are (the only ones I could think of without going down to look at my cd's ), but myself and my friends are the only people around here who've heard of them anyway...

Berkeley
Grandaddy
Mogwai
Gomez
The Sultans of Ping (ahhh,Where's Me Jumper?....hehheh,quality)
The Smiths
Jimmy Eat World
...that'll do for now...

David,I have to say that based on my brief experience of Bonnie Prince Billie (I only have one album - I See A Darkness), I'm not a huge fan. There were only one or two songs which I actually liked

lordsippa

ooh! i've just realised that not half enough people listen to kittie due to this sort of perception that "girls playing rock" = "girlie rock music" which is WRONG!

Also Manowar


And my uncle knows Picturehouse and sometimes plays with them... i may ask him for autographs sometime... yes... >)

Cait

yes, nick drake is truly wonderful

qwidgybo

i can only think of singers for now,such as

paddy casey
damien dempsey
tom mc rae

ooh!a band
the wallflowers(or are they well-known??0

the sultans of ping must die,preferably at the hands of me

And to this... HELL NO!
They blow goats
And the only reason people listen to them at all is because they're girls.
It's almost a novelty.
If they were guys, they'd be nowhere.

Alk3

I forgot Sugarcoma -- Kerrang! overplayed them a bit, but they do rock. Get some of their other songs not just their remake of Britney Spear's "(You Drive Me) Crazy". Anyway, Sugarcoma are a bunch of Essex girls who play pretty good punk rock. Yeah, they rock. Also, Moconium but I doubt any of you have or ever will hear of them. And Freek1512 rock aswell.

lordsippa

ok... firstly my favourite type o negative quote:

FAN: "ok i know you guys are only joking but what do you think of satanism?"
PETER: "ALL HAIL SANTA!"

lol


anyway: kittie - first album sucked ass! it had 2 good songs and then stunk....
Second album (Oracle) is soooooooo amazingly fantabulistical it's unbelievable!

Crash

Type O Negative F***ing rock!!

"Hippies pointing 'thats peats sister in disguise'"

Love that lyric!

Oh, dire straits! i know they're not new, but still!

Eva cassidy.......

as you can see, i have quite varied music tastes.

Alk3

My mom listens to Eva Cassidy, she isn't actually that bad but she's very well known -- amongst menopausal women in anyway. How that reflects on you Neil, I don't know. Anyway, check your private messages dude.

lordsippa

ooh!

Tom Waits. he's fantastic.

yellum

Tom Waits is really good. Hes been around a few years.

Aim
Boards of Canada
Sigur Ros
Dead prez
Nailbomb
Ministry (not of sound )
Nick Cave
Beth Orton

Focalbhach

Yeah,Sigur Ros are cool...they have their own language

yellum

Yeah they do. Its called "fresh, new and talented music", few other bands are fluent in it.

nosmo

Dermo, I meant, of course EARLY Dead Kennedys.

Kittie lead singer on new album = MAN!

what about Static-X?

anyone?
-
Does anyone realise that I start all the "list-style" posts?

insanebadgergirljess

i haven't heard of about 5 bands listed so far. There seem to be few surprises for you lot,but i'll see.
1. Dashboard Prophets
2. Eliott Smith
3. The Longpigs
4. Wilt (ok maybe a bit better known)
5. Turn ( as above)

So many of the bands are beginning to become really well known. Ah how times have changed, 2 years ago i could name only one person outside my family who had heard of the frames, and one who had heard of jeff buckley....

Alk3

Hugh, I first heard of Static X about a year and a half ago and back then I thought they were great -- Black and White rocked my world, but since then my tastes have changed somewhat and whilst I still think they are a good band I amn't exactly "into them" as it were.

Nick Cave

Ok... Comments on each:

Tom Waits been around since early 70's when he did Closing Time.

"Jesus Built my car..."

I LOVE NICK CAVE! Cept PLEASE call the band it's proper name...

Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds.
<love those guys>


And what about Captain Beefheart? He turned down a collaboration with U2 saying "tell bongo or whatever he's called that we're not interested." - now that's style.


Yeps...

Alk3

Spy, Good Charlotte -- both are excellent bands. Download Good Charlotte - The Little Things -- that song fscking rocks!

I'm slowly building up my Tom Waits collection. So far I have:
Closing Time
Franks Wild Years
Mule Variations
Small Change
Swordfishtrombones


"Jesus Built my car..."


"Jesus built my hotrod." On that same album (Psalm 69) they sampled george bush (snr) and created a damned fine tune called New World Order. Its really good. One of my favourite albums.

How about I say Nick Cave* because some of the tunes are not with the bad seeds. I think he still does that music festival down in West Cork every year. Would love to see him play.


And what about Captain Beefheart? He turned down a collaboration with U2 saying "tell bongo or whatever he's called that we're not interested." - now that's style.


Thats class alright, though I do think Bono is a good song writer. Hes a media whore however. I have heard of captain beefheart but never heard him, if you know what I mean. I always mix him up with captain sensible from the damned.

I'll download some of his stuff and will listen before I buy. The joys of access to an e2 line.


Mahotée: Sigur Ros are from Iceland so its some scandanavian dialect they speak.

lordsippa

Ok... i was quoting from the song - i've only heard that and one other song by them... really should get more of their stuff.

"Jesus built my car, it's a love affair - mainly jesus. and my hotrod." ;p

tom waits side of things:
Mule Variations (first one i get)
Raindogs
Closing Time

I really wanna get Pale Rider and Bone Machine. and all the other ones. but for some reason i really want those.

Captain Beefheart wise i only have one of his albums. It's fun but i'm too busy trying to build up the other areas of my collection i keep neglecting him.

Also, i really keep meaning to get some Frank Zappa.

yellum

If you seriously want to hear some more Ministry tunes pm me.

I have two Zappa albums, but I'm not really into Zappa.
The albums are: Return of The Son of Shut Up n Play Yer Guitar and Strictly Commercial

Bonemachine I too would like to hear due to there being a Pixies song with the same name. I'd ideally like to hear all Tom Waits stuff. He's written some great tunes.

I really like this thread. Most of the suggestions on it are new to me.

Dermo

oh and ppl, go listen to Craig's Brother!!!

Cait

audience. they had one album (as far as i know) sometime in the seventies including a wonderful version of 'i put a spell on you'

ceewa

lifehouse - absolutley brilliant band, dunno if their album is out over here i bought it in the states last summer and everyone is copying it off me

three doors down

aimee mann

OH YES!
Aideen will back me up on this one... They rule!
Kobrakai (no.5 on the album)
YESSS!

Crash

Ceewa, Lifehouse and three doors down are both brilliant band.

Love the song "Kryptonite" by three doors down.

Lost prophets are brilliant!

qwidgybo

lostprophets are so good i might have to marry them

lifehouse are cool,at least what i've heard of there stuff seems cool.

smiles

bought a "Feeder" album today, and it's dead good

<< Fio >>

lordsippa

Ok... i'm really sorry to do this but it just has to be said...

Feeder are quite frankly crap my dear.

Dermo

more bands::

Spineshank(they've been around for a while just haven't hit it off over here)
Soil(that Halo song kicks ass)

a question, am I weird for liking bands like Soil(loud screaming fast paced types), Lost Prophets(nu-metal style), Jimmy Eat World(emo), Michelle Branch(pop-rock) and Craig's Brother(just plain rock)?

Alk3

smiles, Feeder's drummer died a couple of months back -- he hung himself. Lovely, eh? What album did you get? Echo Park is probably their best, Feeder rock in general though.

lordsippa, blasphemy! Feeder rock!

Dermo, Soil suck -- Halo is basically loud banging and shouting. Ugh!

Oh, and Jesse James rock! Listen to Jesse James - Shoes!!!!

lordsippa

I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT THEM!!!! AFTER TOUTING THEM TO EVERYONE AND THEN WATCHING THEM LOSE THEIR RECORD DEAL FOR LOW SALES AND YELLING AT PEOPE FOR NOT BUYING THE ALBUM I FORGOT TO MENTION THEM!!!!!

Beautiful Creatures....

picture this: Take classic AC/DC and Guns N' Roses and give them guitars tuned like most nu-metal bands do (unfortunately) and then give them a singer who sounds like he's been gargling gravel but also has echoes of Axl... it's like Appetite For Destruction... but kinda "nu"er... it's really good though! The best examples are "1AM", "Wish" and "Wasted"... shows their range best...


Anyway... also check out Slash's Snakepit. And I don't only like this cause i love slash... really... um... do. now. "Ain't Life Grand", "Neither Can I", "Life's Sweet Drug" and "Just Like Anything"... great band...

Um... If anyone can tell me how to get Duff's stuff over here? it's not in any shops dammit! i want...
