What's your Favorite unknown/Indie band?
« on: December 19, 2014, 09:22:20 PM »
Okay, so I just got the BEST news in a while!!! My absolute favorite band ever, The Leetstreet Boys are starting up again and bringing out a new album!! They had to stop making music for a while, because they just weren't making the money to do it... but they've had an upsurge in commissions, and now they're putting up a kickstarter for their fourth album and I'm OVER THE MOON!!! See, they're the only band of their kind... and Otaku/fan band! They make original music about geek and fan culture stuff, and they're great! Anyone a die-hard fan like me for some super indie band?

Angizia, I think they count. They're Austrian. It consists of three people who all sing and play about a dozen instruments each. They're very theatrical and each album is more like a play where the characters sing their lines. They are considered an avant-garde metal band and some of the songs can get heavy. The stories of the albums are largely tragedy (everyone ends up dying) and pretty twisted :P

TG Lurgan is my fave tho I'm not sure they actually count as a band. They do mainly Irish language covers of English language popular songs but sometimes they will do original music.

Ash are my absolute favourite band. They were fairly well known here in the late 90s/early 00s, but their more recent stuff has gone largely unnoticed. Shame really as it's pretty good. My fave song is Twilight of the Innocents which is from after their heyday. Most people don't realise they're still releasing new material.

Although not a specific geek band, Ash do sometimes put in Star Wars references or sounds :)

They're probably quite well known in Sweden, but Raymond & Maria is one of my favorites. They've got plenty of good songs, but I especially love No One Notices Your Brand New T-Shirt, mainly because I can identify pretty strongly with it. Another good one is Turn Off the Stars, who sadly retired in 2009. Their best song, in my opinion, is Please.

I'm not sure Summoning counts but I mention them. It's a duo of two austrian guys who make black metal songs based on JRR Tolkiens Arda. Last year they released their first studio album in seven years.

My favourite would have to be If These Trees Could Talk, especially their Red Forest album. It's so atmospheric!
I also love yourcodenameis:milo; they've been mostly forgotten and their body of work is miniscule but they're fantastic! :D

Prelude 2 A Pistol

YES YES YES SO MUCH.  And it's not just because Baby Ribbs (an Arena member) is the frontman...  ;)

I listen to more indie electronica. I absolutely loved New Look's debut album. Big two thumbs up.

I'm in love with the Folk Rock band, Coasts. They're from the UK and make really good music! They'll be embarking on their very first North American tour soon. Wish they have more coverage though  :)

A must to check them out! I'd recommend the song "Oceans". https://soundcloud.com/coastsband

Both Nicole Dollanganger and Adriana Figueroa are single musicians instead of bands, but they're excellent none the less. ^-^
