I wanted to create a thread for everyone to list awsome unknown bands they know of that deserve more credit and circulation. Or even bands which are known but are amazing. i dunno...

- Bend Sinister
- Chad Vangallen
- Metric
- Subways
- Jeff Buckley (although hes pretty known, hes just soo awsome.. er was awsome.)
- Bell Orchestre
- Modest Mouse (just had to, their sooo good, this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about/ Lonesome Crowded West)

yes... even if you have heard of these bands their still fucking amazing. Soooo.... ADD ADD ADD awsome Bands. NOW.

yeah metric is pretty awsome, but here are some of my favorites:

1. The Lovemakers (one of the best bands ever)
2. She Wants Revenge (sounds like interpol and joy division)
3. The Faint (it seems like no one on this site knows them)
4. The Gun Shys (reminds me of the strokes)
5. Andre Nickatina (hands down best rapper ever)
6. Maximo Park (indie pop)
7. Kings Of Leon (the strokes meet leonard skinard)
8. Hard-fi (english as fuck)
9. RJD2 (perfect music to ski to)
10. Death From Above 1979 (loud and up beat)

You must be from the Bay Area if you have the Lovemakers and Nickatina on your list, you should check out SF underground mainstay, Swell.
41 is the most accessible album.
Swell and Well are very dark and have an ominous feel.
Too Many Days Without Thinking was supposed to be their big break, but Rick Rubin screwed them.
For All The Beautiful People is a bitter album, that is great.
Everybody Wants to Know is more electronic based
Whenever You're Ready is their newest, and longest album, it is like a greatest hits with all new songs.

whoever applied the best rapper ever cred to nickatina, your list really impressed me other than that. I'm not even going to go into that...and also you know the faint if you've watched older snowboard vids.. but great albums already listed or not

broken social scene - you forgot it in people
arcade fire - funeral
wolf parade - apologies to the queen mary
hot hot heat - elevator

other bands to check

explosions in the sky, john scofield, a c newman, french kicks
