I Have Never Heard of That

<< < (24/29) > >>

ZJGent:
Petty Cash, The Dharma Bums, and The Unlikely Heroes: all used-to-be-local bands that recently got bigger... as in touring UK.
Petty Cash is bluesy rock with a very bitter throaty singer... lots of songs about prostitutes and cheating girlfriends.
The Dharma Bums call themselves "funk, punk, and rock n roll" but they're actually sometimes a bit synthy... in a good way. Songs like "Beer" make me happy.
The Unlikely Heroes are an Oasish sort of electro-funk stomp-rock. They do some really good floor shakers, like one called Midsummer Storm.

Also, the Duckworths.
Dirty european jazz, latina rhythms, with added guitar rock. I suggest "Ahab's Blues". They come back from Italy to the UK soon.

Ravenbomb:
no idea if any of these bands are actually obscure, but they're the most obscure bands I listen to (since local bands apparently don't count)

James Chance & The Contortions (old new wave/punk band)
The Back Horn (J-Rock band)
Blue States (only heard one song of theirs)
Boards of Canada (ambient type stuff, they do the music for the David Firth toons)
Chunk (rock group, came across their webpage somehow and downloaded a song, was pretty good)
Kiroro (J-pop duo)


again, no idea if they're actually obscure or not, but I never hear anything about them, so...*shrug*

Kai:
Are Boards of Canada obscure now? shit.

OllieA:
Would you say The Books were obscure enough...?

Mixture of instrumental and electronic samples, overlayed with vocal samples/spoken-word/ambient noise. In theory it should be a mess but it somehow works really well. They seem very fun as well.
