Oh yuck, I hate them. Tool mixed with nu-metal, eeeewwwwww..... How come almost everyone in this thread is mentioning musicians who are already really well known? |

Muckraker  Posts: 283 Joined: 8 Feb 2009    | A year ago I would've said Owl City but he's getting pretty popular these days so yeah. Now, however, I wold definitely say Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover aka the black guy from Derrickcomedy. He's one of the best rappers I've heard in a while. And his CD Poindexter is one of the few where I like every song so yeah I think he deserves a little more fame. |

Muckraker  Posts: 251 Joined: 24 Apr 2008  | I gotta agree with Porcupine Tree, especially "Voyage 34" and the 40-odd minute improv of Moonloop on "Transmission IV". I'd also have to say Frank Turner, British singer/songwriter/guitarist. He was in punk band Million Dead then embarked on a solo folk career, but kept a lot of his punk bitterness. Probably the wittiest lyrics I've ever heard. |

too right. saw them in Amsterdam. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1675 Joined: 15 May 2008     | Devin Townsend. He's from Canada and produces some fantastic sound. This is from an album called 'Ziltoid the Omniscient' and the album is about an Alien invading Earth for the ultimate cup of coffee. There is also his new Album called 'Addicted!' that I strongly recommend and comes with a re-release of 'Hyperdrive' which is on Ziltoid. Devvy is far too talented to be so unknown. Edit: Sorry, just thought of an Australian punk band called Frenzal Rhomb. Their music is fantastic and their concert work is fantastic. Saw them at a bar at my uni and they packed the entire thing out, had the crowd going crazy with mosh and outrageous singing. Check them out, too. |
SUSPENDED  Posts: 13973 Joined: 13 May 2009    | Steve Albini
He produced about a million bands like Nirvana and The Pixies and Jarvis Cocker and such, and was the frontman of the greatest punk band ever, Big Black (in my opinion) but nobody seems to have heard of him. User was suspended for: You watched it, You cant unwatch it. (7 days) |

You know, it actually is an Australian thing. She's absolutely loved more than oxygen over there and it's kinda crazy, but elsewhere it's nowhere near as intense which I think's kinda weird that she wouldn't equally as loved in America at least. |

I dont think Axenrot is as good as Martin Lopez who did the drumming for MAYH,Still Life,BWP, Ghost reveries, Damnation and Deliverance. |

That's the one. Found it a little too slow, and it lost the Celtic sound I loved. |

Albini is AWESOME. I think anyone who's truely into alternative music would probably know who he is. Maybe, that's just wishful thinking and I spend too much time talking to music nerds on the net. But in the sphere Albini operates in, he's pretty much recognised I'd say... |

Hell fuckin' yeah. Their songs are perfect. |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 878 Joined: 13 Oct 2007  | Paul Masvidal and crew. So many awesome and creative bands in that group of guys. Cynic, Aeon Spoke, Atheist, etc. I find it funny that a lot of the bands people mention are the forerunners of their respective genres. |

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2109 Joined: 16 Aug 2008  | Hank Williams III. Pure country awesome. But I'm guessing he's not that bothered about not being famous. It's just that he plays proper country music, not radio country. |

I think Modest Mouse's newer stuff gets too much love, but their older stuff deserves a lot more. |

Everybody says this, but I rather liked We Were Dead. Some of their earlier stuff was hit and miss, but The Moon and Antarctica is still one of my favorite albums. I love how Brock is always very rhythmic with his singing, even in a softer, more melodic setting. Very musically subversive. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2209 Joined: 12 Aug 2009  | Well, these guys have one famous song- but the Flobots seriously deserve more all around fame. Handlebars is great, but its shit compared to most of their other music. |

Deffo, he's a brilliant artist.
Amorphis should get a little more recognition imo too. As should most artists on the candyrat label
A few examples :)
