Awesome, virtually unknown artists you've stumbled upon?
 

Im one of the few people who actually listen to twitter/facebook artists and scroll through youtube/bandcamp/soundcloud to find juicy nuggets of unknown glory. Maybe you guys can post some awesome little known artist? (Links to work/music videos would be helpful) Ill start:
CoolSwim: makes alternative rap, with crazy beats and topics. I love weird music and this kid speaks to my weird sense of taste. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7mqoliCcvWs
Neko Aijin: he got a few rap tapes that are pretty enjoyable, has a good ear for beats and makes alot himself. Also makes some cool chillwave style rap stuff and has a "trap music" alter ego which is hit or miss, but he has a nice instrumental chillwave inspired instrumental tape out. Good stuffs. https://nekosounds.bandcamp.com/album/dreamyy-artifacts
Skategod: makes enjoyable street type music. Good for car rides and catchy.

Any good hidden gems guys?

Bob and the Sagets, a ska punk band by some members od the Menzingers.

I think Porcelain Black is incredible, but for a pop act produced by RedOne she hasn't really been recognized as much as I would expect.

The Hush Sound
Gold Motel
The Hives
Asking Alexandria
Delta Rae (Check them out!)
The Eels
The Electric Prunes (Psychedelic Band)
Hiss Golden Messenger
Klaatu
Machine Head
Nude Beach
The Orwells
Rogue Wave
Vintage Trouble (Saw them Open for The Who)

I don't mean to sound snobby, but Asking Alexandria, Machine Head and The Hives are among the most popular acts of the 2000s' rock scene, hardly unknown.

burnnnn!!!


okay temiz BTW

Found this psych rock power trio called Truth & Janey the other day that released a very unrecognized and underrated album called No Rest For The Wicked in 1976. They currently have under 5000 listeners on Last FM which is pretty remarkable considering the amount of time the record has had to float around online. For a band with production and songwriting skills this good their obscurity is kind of mysterious.

I never really listened to them. I just thought I would post them.

I get what you are saying.

I get what you are saying.

I just never listened to them. So I thought I would put them on the list.

Snake Walk

Wolves In Sheepskin

Home - Planktons Odyssey

These three are pretty cool.

I also like finding juicy nuggets of unknown glory!

I started a similar thread, "Good Songs by Non-Famous Bands," back in 2011. You may enjoy listening to some of the lesser known songs posted in that thread:

These are three of my favorite juicy nuggets of unknown glory, which I defined as songs that have fewer than 1,000 views on Youtube and no Wikipedia article about the bands or singers:

A Brokeheart Pro (Jeannette Kantzalis) - "Bleed On"
(Only 618 views on Youtube)
I especially like her line, "I'm pretty sharp, so I'll cut to the quick."

And just in case you are wondering about who is singing that song, here are some pictures of Jeannette Kantzalis:


Pointless google censor strikes again. Sigh..

The Thrill Collective - "Ink"
(Only 335 views on Youtube)
I heard this song for the first time in 2012 and wrote the following about it then: I enjoy its fast-paced energy, glittery guitar solos, competent playing, and the lead vocalist's strong, clear singing voice. The tune is catchy and has stuck in my mind, making it my favorite of their songs. I'm impressed with the band members' skill level, especially considering their youth.




Kirsten Amy - "Unbelievable"
(only 25 views!)
Lovely Indian influences and she also has a *lovely* voice. Excellent. Only one note (her highest) was out of tune.

EDIT: I just checked what new songs Kirsten Amy has recorded, and I felt this one is noteworthy:

Kirsten Amy - "You Mars, I Saturn"

I second the first two

I'll add Trouble Salad and Jesus The Carpenter

None of them are at all unknown, in fact.

Animals as Leaders.
Shawn Lane with Hellborg and Sipe.
King's X back in 1989.
Nguyen Le
Scale The Summit

They're pretty well known, especially in the guitarist community.

Sure, but I hadn't heard of the other ones :shycouch:

The Hush Sound is pretty well known too. Hell, my mom listens to them.

The Electric Prunes are old but good and Hiss Golden Messenger make some pretty good down-the-middle country-rock. Other than that, I'm not really a fan of any of the ones listed, so nothing to be ashamed of.

I found this unknown album a while back that I really liked. Intense nostalgic feeling for me and comfy winter theme.

"Okay." | Sleep In Sundays

Outside of the extreme guitarist community I highly doubt anyone has heard of them.

Hell, I'm part of that demographic and I only found them by accident.

I'm not so sure, Abasi's been on the cover of a lot of guitar magazines, he's even Guitar World (which is pretty huge) multiple times.
