What are your favorite underground bands?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I mean the bands that don't have million dollar record deals and are sold to everyone who actually cares about music instead of listening to the radio and top 10 albums.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I like 50 Foot Wave, Minus Story, Lemon Demon, Throwing Muses, and Pinback.

1690 total and unranked strength. Headed for 1800.

I like the irony (no wait, paradoxicality) in how there's a spelling error in this sig.

Haha umm...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well.... a lot of my favorite are more "underground" bands. Depends on your definition of underground, because I consider is as not mainstream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Streetlight Manifesto

 

 

 

The Specials

 

 

 

Suburban Legends

 

 

 

The Planet Smashers

the white stripes

 

 

 

blind melon

 

 

 

kill switch engage (not too mainstream)

InME(Kinda), Halfway to Knowhere, Before I go, Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Hopesfall, Senses Fail(Over here :D), Emanuel, Moneen etc. (These are in England, though InME are English :P).

The White Stripes are in no way underground. They're as commercial and mainstream as you can get in rock these days, as far as I'm concerned. Killswitch Engage aren't underground either, and nor are DFA1979. The latter two aren't mainstream either of course; more in-between.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favourite underground bands:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Professional Murder Music

 

 

 

Sulpher

 

 

 

Coil

 

 

 

Tweaker

 

 

 

Tim Skold

 

 

 

John 5

 

 

 

Skinny Puppy

 

 

 

Team Sleep

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Granted, the last half isn't too underground ... but I'd be surprised if anyone has heard of or heard work by only two of these artists, if any.

The White Stripes are good band, although they aren't really mentioned alot on music channels such as Much Music and the like :?

Well they certainly aren't underground. I hate them but I acknowledge their 'mainstreamness', evident by the fact that they're headlining the biggest Australian music festival - over the very first punk outfit who have been around since the 60s or 70s.

This band has real attitude and they aren't that bad. From that site you can download legal copies of their works. I'd try at least the following songs: burn in hell, 666 megatons, eathly damnation and rise of necromancy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ildjarn:

 

 

 

Some of you may argue about this, but I bet 99% of you haven't even heard of them. Ugly and rough black metal, no commercial posing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paysage D'hiver:

 

 

 

Really beautiful stuff.

I havn't hated a band so much in ages as the white stripes.

 

 

 

ugh, learn to play your fricken instruments

I don't really know much "less well known" bands. Most people don't really know Sigur RÃÆÃâÃâós, I think. So I'll recommend them since they make very good music. And of course their lead singer is homosexual and blind with one eye, that makes them extra cool.

Yea, my brother listens to them.. I don't really like the music, Im more of a Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Sublime, The Refused, etc. type of person.

I dunno besides friends garage bands and such:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Poetica (local undergroud band)

 

 

 

Rufio (ok really kinda mainstream but hell)

 

 

 

From Autumn To Ashes (underground?)

 

 

 

Lamb Of God (you ever seen them on MTV?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I consider underground bands to be bands that are usually not on TV or radio...

yeah underground is a pretty broad topic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i will say

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

abbington

 

 

 

forget about adam

Lamb Of God (you ever seen them on MTV?)

Belasco, i only know about them because one of my brother in law's friends is their drummer. They're not huge, but not as small as i imagined.

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

Looked at my hd and cd collection. These bands all play black or pagan metal and you can't really call them mainstream.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Volkurah:

 

 

 

Surprisingly melodical (Dimmu Burger fans don't bother - It isn't what you're looking for if you are after melody) and pretty brutal vocals. Cd's or Lp's are really hard to find anywhere (even eBay) and you can't find them from many p2p hubs. Anyways if you're into bm (no commercial bs or anything), this band is really worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bestia:

 

 

 

Estonian band and they actually sing in estonian. Estonian is a pretty ok language for bm. Check their website if you're interested, there's few full songs in mp3 form.

Bilskirnir:

 

 

 

Pretty melodical (again, if you're looking for a Dimmu Burger copy, don't bother) and angry stuff. Somehow seems to be addicting. Easier to find their cd's or lp's as Volkuras', but don't bother looking at your near by Free Record Shop or whatever.
