hambone · 07-22-2003, 09:24 PM

easy. Alkaline Trio. definitely.

LivingDead · 07-22-2003, 09:31 PM

American Head Charge

crow_daw · 07-22-2003, 11:14 PM

They're not near as underground as the rest of these mentions, but I'll have to say Seether. I'm afraid they're going to become one hit wonders for Fine Again, and alot of people haven't even heard THAT. But they are a DAMN good band.

Scrub0 · 07-23-2003, 01:11 AM

The Headstones. Pure Canadian rock.

dredg is a great band. i'd have to agree that everyone should start listening to them.

brandon11983 · 07-23-2003, 07:32 AM

skycamefalling. They broke up a few months ago. They were the premier Long Island hardcore band. They will be missed.

Blackalicious.

Alot of people will gag when they see this, but please read on!
STYX!
I'm not talking about the newer (post 80's Styx)
You probably can't find any of the early to mid 70's albums on CD but there is a CD called Styx "Lady" that is a compilation of their best earlier stuff. They were very heavy rock and roll in their early years, not the sappy love song shit that most people associate them with. If you like stuff like "Miss America" and "Suite Madam Blue", you should listen to the earlier stuff.
I'm probably the biggest Styx fan, I own every album (CD), and I think their best stuff is their old stuff.

I need to back you on this, BT is great, no one seems to know about him either. He is also amazing in concert.

Love the name. Love the groove. New album.

Thanks for listening.

kalisto_911 · 07-24-2003, 10:32 AM

I know they must be a lot bigger over in the UK than in Wisconsin(!) but Chemical Brothers

H12 · 07-24-2003, 12:37 PM

Talib Kweli: Hip-Hop quality that you didn't know existed.

Disco Biscuits rule...unfortunately the relocated from ATL to SFA...but then again...I relocated from ATL -> LHR -> VIE, so i guess I cant blame them

Seriously though...i used to see these guys all the time...great band.

HELL YES. I just saw them recently with Opeth. They were incredible. I like all the props Opeth are getting as well.

They didn't actually break up, it's just that their singer, Andy Khachaturian, left the band for (as of yet) undisclosed reasons... they might as well have broken up, though. He WAS the band. I just hope when they get a new lead singer he's even HALF as good as Andy was.

KWSN · 07-24-2003, 12:50 PM

Oh, and another to add (Chamberdweller said we could do more than one)...

Norma Jean

Incredible hardcore band, the best I've ever heard (Dillinger Escape Plan and the aforementioned skycamefalling are a close second, Nora is third). They used to be called Luta-kriss, but they had to change their name when they got confused too often with Ludacris (fucking stupid, if you ask me). They've pretty much disappeared since releasing their album Bless the Martyr and Kiss the Child, but until they release something else, DEFINETLY check that album out. It kicks major ass.

shinmano · 07-24-2003, 06:32 PM

MELT BANANA

The most energetic show I've been to. Do yourself a favor and catch them on tour if it's not already over, and while you're at it, dance your ass off.

Kaos · 07-24-2003, 06:44 PM

Overkill. The most underappreciated band in metal.

Mr Scorcex · 07-24-2003, 08:04 PM

Kenna. Great stuff, sorta reminded me of Radiohead, but not quite. He put his song Hell Bent to a 4 1/2 minute award winning claymation movie for a music video. Good stuff.

poglus44 · 07-24-2003, 08:11 PM

Pig

They are sort of an industrial band that likes to add in bits from orchestra, latin, swing type stuff. Raymond Watts from KMFDM does lead vocals.

dunkelhelmut · 07-25-2003, 08:48 PM

One band, eh?

I'll pick King's X (talented, good ol' rock)
Make that Racer X (extremely talented metal)
Nah, how about Devin Townsend Band (excellent, ambient, and loud)
Or maybe In Flames (melodic, fast, heavy metal)

Infinite Hybrid · 07-25-2003, 09:30 PM

I have to second The Mars Volta. Very very good (awesome, excellent, etc.) album.

EDIT: Just thought of someone else: Rob Dougan. Some of you may have heard of his work for The Matrix movies. Listen to some of his other stuff at www.robdougan.com

Yeah, his music's pretty cool. I saw one of his videos recently... I forget what it was called but it was all feet and legs. Weird but cool.

Cerrio · 07-26-2003, 09:49 AM

We've got a local band in NC, called the Dandylions. They kick ass instrumentally and are funny as hell.

Diceman · 07-26-2003, 04:07 PM

Indigenous - Anyone who's into the blues should check them out (www.indigenousrocks.com).
They're Native American and the guitarist Mato Nanji is probably the best blues guitarist since Stevie Ray Vaughan.

obediah · 07-26-2003, 11:04 PM

Just one band?

I'll fudge less than others and say

16 Horsepower, and the David Eugene Edwards solo Woven Hand project.

Woven Hand blew every other CD released in 2002 out of the water (imho)

Most of the the 16 Horsepower stuff is gotha-billy, with lots of dark spiritualism. The later stuff has gotten more folky, but it's all powerful stuff. Maybe if some more people listen to them in the states they'll return from their permanent tour of Europe.

I'll second the Talib Kweli nod above, I'd kind of always shortchanged him as the other funny-looking guy following Mos Def around (Dave Chapelle being the primary funny looking guy), but Quality was excellent. When all the other hip-hop artist started chasing after soul, jazz and other fusions, Talib proved that hip-hop can excel on it's own.

auswegian · 07-27-2003, 10:41 AM

The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets. With an ethos of upbeat nihilism and ample dosages of Lovecraftian lyrics, they are so very very cool.
