Silverchair... theyre actually INCREDIBLY well known in OZ and over here too theres plenty of people whove heard of them, loads.

So how come ive never met a single person whos heard of Silverchair?! huh?! :no: not right i tell you!!

Former Member

Orbital? Maybe you mean someone else but the Orbital who I know of are kinda huge.

Inkubus Sukkubus are one of the best bands I've ever heard, but they are so...unknown. I cant understand why people have never heard of them, they are great! Also, a few more really good bands I've heard:
Lacuna Coil - Evanescence so copied these guys its unreal!
Lacrimosa - german goth metal, kinda rammstein -ish
Sanguin Moon - A Lacuna Coil/Inkubus Sukkubus mix
Lullacry - good good good good
My Ruin - If you're in a loud-ish kinda mood
Jack Off Jill - socially outcast metal, fun fun fun
Switchblade Symphony - Suicide metal, kinda fun childish horror music

I recommend checking these bands out when you have the time. They are kinda weird but then again I wouldn't be listening to them if they were normal.

Nick Cave and Orbital are really well known.

• British Sea Power
• Ikara Colt
• Liars
• McLusky
• Snow Patrol

yellow stripe nine
british sea power

hitler's lost daughter (i don't actually know if they're still around)

Godspeed You Black Emperor!

Yann Tiersen

Jeff Buckley (quite well known, but not nearly enough!)

That's all I can think of now.

Former Member

I'd say Snow Patrol and British Sea Power werent that un well known. Heh I love The Beautiful Mistake, emo/emocore-ish band huh just rock

Former Member

Nick Cave is known by most who were interested in music during the early 90s and before.

Most people who've heard of Lacrimosa will have heard of dead can Dance and vice versa.

Not enough English people know of The Rasmus in my opinion.
And they don't know Saybia and Mew (no one said I couldn't advertise for Danish acts )

Oh, and I don't know how it is in the UK but here Ian Brown hasn't got even a tenth of the credit he deserves.

Ooh! Unknown in both Denmark and England, Maximillian Hecker.

No they aren't exactly obscure, but the majority of siters won't have heard of them, I'm sure.

They are one of my favourite bands. They really do deserve more recognition as they have evolved from the 'Nirvana clone' tag they used to have.

I like Silverchair. I thought they were pretty well known, though? And yeah you're right about the Oz thing - they were mentioned by Summer on Neighbours recently!

Alkaline Trio are great too
Everclear are a good American band, but their latest stuff has gone downhill
Oh, and Eels used to be quite well know but even though they faded out their new stuff is still good

Aw man, The Beautiful Mistake kinda blow. If you're looking for bands of that ilk there's so many better ones. I mean, they're ok but there's better.

Thursday
Taking Back Sunday
Saves The Day
Rival Schools

They're all quite well known and easy to get hold of, so the people at theSITE should have no problem checking them out! For people already in the know, check out:

Songs:Ohio
Further Seems Forever
Coheed And Cambria
Ted Leo And The Pharmacists
Sunny Day Real Estate
Piebald
Last Days Of April
Bright Eyes
Cursive

Someone already said Death Cab For Cutie, who are awesome.

Has anyone heard of the Kidney Thieves? I found them when I was trying to download something and accidentally got one of their songs instead. They're really good.

Good news for you - "Son Of Evil Reindeer" was their second album. The first one is called "Y'all Get Scared Now, Ya Hear" or summat like that. The Postal Service album is on my list.

Pretty Girls Make Graves is another one - bought their last album yesterday and it's ace - elements of hardcore and indie, very good stuff.
