Unknown Love
by Ok, so this is my question: Who do you like/love musically that we haven't heard of or don't know about? And what type of music are they and why do you like them? Not who do you like that not a whole lot of people like. If more than five people have heard of them or they are or have been on the radio for some period of time, they don't count.
For example i really like Ryan Adams but when i say that people are shocked and go, "YOU LIKE BRYAN ADAMS?" But no, not that guy. Ryan Adams a man who is a good rock, folk, country, blues type. He released two albums just this year alone. One was all mellow acoustic(one a very good cover of wonderwall) and the other a balls-out rock album.
I also like Josh Joplin, a folk rocker with some real good talent.
Another refinement; Bands i like that do not qualify are Splender and American Pearl. They are good and not very well known but they are somewhat known. So i don't want to hear about jack johnson(good but we all know of him), the music, HUM(bryan, j/k)etc...

I almost forgot Bicycle!! They are a great alt-pop band from Seattle that was based here for a while...
Great Queen song!
my fav at the moment is IMA Robot. some may have heard of them, but nonetheless, they are funkky and fun
So odd. I had the Ryan Adam's song "So Alive" in my head this morning. Can't stop singing it. Great stuff.
Aside from this thread, I've never heard of him.

Death Cab for Cutie
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter
both these bands are on the barsuk label. I got into Death Cab and fell in love with their music and discovered Jesse Sykes through an insert in the CD. www.barsuk.com
There's also a band called Iridesense from either Staten Island or Long Island that I really like. I've seen them play a few times and I enjoy them. www.iridesense.com
DCFC is awsome. Their music is so great. I still need to go pick up their other albums. I also want to check out postal service.
i thought ryan adams was somewhat well known
1. never heard of it
2. cauterize
3. lucky boys confusion
4. name taken
most people i know have never heard of these bands. my favorite of the 4 is probably lucky boys
has anyone heard of Mike D and the Luncheon Special
someone was handing out NHOI posters in philly once
Hmm well Project 86, 12 Stones, Downpore, and Face The Truth are all real good. I am sure a lot of you people with nothing better to do know them (such as myself). Also there are some other good ones I like such as Lacuna Coil, Dimmu Borgia,
i liked project 86 alright until i saw them in concert-very scary. downpore is awesome
