I will start...

Baxter
TheThe
Lambretta
Otep
Caberet Voltaire
Him


Whatchya got?

Like.. TheThe aren't exactly unheard of, silly one. :P

But aight - Devil Dolls.

The Fuzz Plugs

VNV Nation
L'ame Immortelle
Juliana Theory (though it's more popular now than it was)
Zebrahead? I'm stuck in Spain, so no one here has heard them, not sure about in the states. i actually dig the newer singer.

VNV Nation is hit-or-miss... either you love the song or you think it sucks imo =p

To add to the list:

Dragonforce (British power-metal group, possibly more popular on that side of the ocean)
Nightwish (not really sure how popular they are, but only 1 person I know knew about them ><)
Jackalope (if you're into really strange sounding music)

I will start...

Lambretta

Whatchya got?

Heh, noone's heard? I've heard three of em =P TheThe isn't bad. Caberet Voltaire is kind of meh. HIM has a rather popular song out on all the 'alternative rock' stations. Better than the standard 'new rock' fare (though I do love this neo-80's fad that's going on atm heh).

You really want good bands noone has heard? =D

(warning, most of these are long defunct)

Rubella Ballet
Brotherhood of Pagans
Mephisto Waltz
Skeletal Family
The Virgin Prunes
Love Like Blood
Theatre of Hate
Christian Death
Tones on Tails
Fields of the Nephilim
Dulce Liquido
Hocico
Black Tape for a Blue Girl
Switchblade Symphony
Jackoff Jill
The Danse Society
Red Lorry Yelloy Lorry
Screams for Tina
Sex Gang Children
Skinny Puppy (surely everyone's heard of Skinny Puppy?)
Agent Provacateur
KMFDM (again, surely everyone has heard of KMFDM?)
Siouxie and the Banshee's (y'all have to know them)


I'd have to start digging to rembmer the names of some of the other bands I've enjoyed.

Gah Nightwish. This is what happens when you try to make Death Metal listener friendly.

Nightwish, that the one thats sounds like a bad opera and a bad metal band have had a head on crash ?

Some music isn't for everyone :tongue:
Not sure if anybody has heard of them, but Rhapsody is along the same lines as Dragonforce.

I really wanted good bands that I have not heard. Greedy me. /smile.

I love Tones on Tail and KMFDM, and left those for other to post. Even thought it might be you who would.:moon:

Crass, Penis Envy is awesome.

This is Serious Mum (TISM)
Australian band. Pop sound, x-rated lyrics.

I like vocalists over bands for the most part nowadays. I've also gotten into some really eclectic new age-ish stuff.

Vienna Teng
Lesiem
Ronan Hardiman

I'm shocked to see another person in the states who has heard of TISM. An Aussie friend of mine turned me on to them back in the early 90's -- they're hilarious. I listened to Morrison Hotel and was hooked.

To add to the list of bands:
The Insect Surfers
The Slickee Boys

Nightwish is alright.
Sonata Artica
Craddle of Filth (alot of southrners don't know who they are)
Otep
Jack off Jill (Ex introduced me to them)
Devil Driver
Dry Kill Logic
V Shaped Mind
Demon Hunter
Devil Driver
The Agony Scene
My Dying Bride (just pure ****ing awesome ****)
HIM
Chimaira (They're growing in popularity now)
Dimmu Borgir (insert F'tastic here)
Mushroom Head
Head PE
Monster Magnet
The Union Underground
Opiate for the Masses (helluva good concert band too)
They might be giants (one of the few punk bands I like)

Im sure to think of more tomarrow too :-p

Dani Filth, very talented

Leaves Eyes, I love their vocalist she's got a great voice. Good music overall as well =-p

My latest favorite:

Matisyahu Miller.

Hasidic Raggae.

Like, Baruch Adonai mon!

The thing with TISM is you have know a little Australian or a lot of their songs don't make any sense. My best friend in high school lives in Melbourne now and he turned me onto TISM. Recently I've hand "I may be a c*nt, but I'm not a f**king c*nt" stuck in my head. I've also want to go to open mike poetry night and recite "And the Ass Said to the Angel:"

Was it a generic song-virus infliction or was it brought on by one (or more) of the debates here? :)

Don't forget to wear a balaclava and look like a degenerate. It's a necessary part of the delivery.

Siouxie and the Banshee's and Skinny Puppy- yes.
Red Lorry Yellow Lorry too.
Add, No means No, Dayglow Abortions, Ramones everyone has heard no doubt.
Also, The Be Good Tanyas

The Cruxshadows
Nosferatu
Seraphim Shock

Can't think of any others right now lol

Nosferatu was some decent tunes if you liked the over the top Goth (which I did).

Their 2nd album was much better than their first.

Did they ever manage to come out with the 3rd?

And Cruxshadows aren't bad.

Never heard of Seraphim Shock. I'll have to look em up.

Nosferatu did come out with a third album but it's hard to find since it was released back in the 80's. And they were supposed to have a new album out this past summer too I think
And for Seraphim Shock, http:www.seraphimshock.com :)

Nosferatu didn't come out with much of anything until the early 90's if we're talking about the same band.

Their first real album, afaicr, was Rise. With Legend being a remix album, for the most part (and thus I don't cound it) and then Prophacy.

Everything prior to Rise was simply singles and EPs, I thought?

I really like Leaves' Eyes so far.

This hardly qualifies as a band nobody has heard of but they did never quite make it mainstream other than 2 songs but still this forum provides me an opportunity to plug some awesome music. Soul Coughing is my favorite band and while gone, the memory lives on through the lead singer Mike Doughty who has a growing solo career.

So links to the bands free music or something? Otherwise they're still going to be bands I've never heard of.

I know that name from somewhere. What did they sing that got played on the main stream?

Super Bon Bon and Circles both got radio play( and possibly "Rolling" also ) and Super Bon Bon was actually used for some game music in Gran Turismo 2 on Play Station.
