Well I am a big fan of unheard of bands, often they are some of the most creative. I just bought a cd by a band named Under the Influence of Giants and it's incredible. It's a mix of the Bee Gees and The Killers first cd. They're slowly becoming more known, but they're fantastic. Another would be Waterbone, which is a Tibetan band. It's very soothing and entrancing which is great when I need to just relax to something. I'm always looking for new bands, so what are some bands everyone listens to that aren't known that well?

Oh I think I've heard of Under the Influence of Giants recently.

Not sure if this band is obscure enough to qualify, but I like Mae. It's kinda emo and sounds vaguely like Death Cab for Cutie (though if you listen to each back to back they won't seem very alike... Death Cab is the only way I could describe em).

Shiny Toy Guns


They are a bit of techno-pop fluff.....but mostly well done fluff. Their single "Le Disko" is gaining steam on some of the less-mainstream radio airwaves.

Their sound is a mish-mash of 80's influenced pop like Depeche Mode, the spacy-ness of the Flaming Lips "....Pink Robots" album, and the catchy dance rythms that one would find on an electronica/house album.

Worth checking 'em out if you are into that style of music.

Summit Extra Pale Ale....the best beer known to man.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. But rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!"

Wombat, I'm surprised you didn't mention Kill Hannah. Or maybe they aren't as obscure as I think.
