I love And Much More. They're so cool and underground that they haven't even formed yet - my brother's learning the drums before releasing any records.

No Knife, an American band. I haven't seen or heard any mention of them in the UK, shame really.

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody knows

Not too sure what they're up to at the mo, they seem to be really lazy when it comes to updating their site. I did hear an interview in which they said they were thinking of recording an instumental album though, which judging from past instumental tracks should be great.

Winnebago Deal and the Rifles are good UK bands.

I saw Riff Random the other night and was impressed. I like Dead Meadow from Washington, too.

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody kn

At the risk of sounding like a repetetive twat, I urge everyone to find some Mexican Pets stuff. They split in '97 (3 years before I'd ever even heard of them), but if you find either 'Humbucker' or 'Voice Of Trucker Youth' going cheap, then don't hesitate to snap 'em up....

Other than that, how's about Bear vs Shark or The Rocket Summer? Oh, and does anyone else think that The Killers sound like a souped up version of The Junket?

Cheerio,

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody kn

i just heard this band called 'the white stripes'. they're like a two-piece bluesy/garage rock kind of thing. i reckon they're going to be really popular once people find out about them.

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody kn

the rocket summer? are you serious? i saw them (well...him and his drummer) supporting the ataris in glasgow and he was a complete nutcase. and the music was shite too.

everyone should listen to coheed and cambria when they were called shabutie... if you like the mars volta or at the drive-in.

Trust me with The Rocket Summer. He's mard as fuck, but he's got some quality slow-burning tunes on the album. I s'pose he's like a more embarrassing Ben Kweller, but I like him :)

Melbourne bands:
San (voice like Jeff Buckley)
The Forgotten Ways (must have loved their G'n'f'n'R)

Bendigo Bands:
Sender (were Zenyth...look out for Bodan in the Thunderstruck soundtrack's Aussie all-star band)
Clumpy Bogg (who's on the six now that Pete's gone to Sydney)

International Band:
Love & Rockets (Daniel Ash's Bauhaus rehash - not on the bandlist!)

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody knows

American Mars (american rootsy/alt. country band). They're great, but will probably never get really big.

On the other hand I'm expecting big things from things from these guys

The Follow (Debut LP is meant to be out soon. My sources tell me it's a corker)

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody knows

Oh, and My Awesome Compilation, Intentions Of An Asteroid, The Robocop Kraus...and a band called Pornshot who were on at In The City a couple of years ago - Norwegian, I think. I've not heard a sausage from 'em since, but they were brilliant and the singer was wearing a nurse's uniform. Crumbs!

I'm not too sure if many people know this band, I don't think many do. Anyway, it's Jacobs Stories. They're pretty good. And then there's a lot of the ones you've all mentioned already. :)

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody knows

Ya i must admit I heard their new song on Scuzz of all places and I was very disappointed. Their new stuff isn't half as good but I would under no circumstances compare Whoracle or Reroute to Remain to Linkin Park. I can see your point with Soundtrack to your Escape - though Linkin Park is a bit harsh don't you think?!

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody kn

OHOOHOH!!!\

I like stinking lizaveta

i saw them at ATP and although my chums didnt want to watch them and we went to play crazy golf instead - i tried to catch a bit of them - they were great - i also liked how they reviewd them in the little thing that you get...

if only i wasnt such a lamb i would have stayed for the whole set...



p.s my favourite band what no one has heard of is -
THE WORKHOUSE i saw them again yesterday theyre soo good - better than explosions in the sky...
(ok yes matt i know i saw them with you two years ago - i know you know who they are...)

Re: which bands do you love that hardly anybody kn

Yeah, that set at ATP was awesome. In my opinion not enough guitarists these days a) sing into their pickups and b) climb to the top of the PA stacks. Yanni be praised.
