Cool Bands No One Seems Know About

Post by I AM ME »

there should be a thread for cool bands that not many ppl know about:

Black Lab :love: :mrgreen: delightfully depressing love songs

Ours- Talk about emotion and vocal range, make you wonder whether Jeff Buckley died or got a new name and bigger vocal range

Rubberman- pretty good indie band, kinda like three doors down or fuel.

Dave Navarro :drool: ( a bit more work on vocal variety and he would be perfect)
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

Ours = awesome.
But of course, when they came to Toronto in November, it just HAD to be a 19+ show... bah. Ah well, I got my Precious cd signed by Jimmy, so that helped ease the pain :)

not many people know about me
we are the brand new beatniks. we are the down and outers.
we are the bleeding hearts, beating syncopated, broken rhythm.
our speed is often break neck. we need to slow it down.
tired of being sleepless. tired of being broken.

here's another great and relatively unknown rock band:

THE MAYFIELD FOUR

For anyone whose into Jeff Buckley & Ours... you'll almost definitely like this band... the singer has a one of a kind voice with a similar falsetto to Buckley & Gnecco.

I still need to pick up their 2 CD's that are currently out, but here are some songs I've downloaded so far that I find myself listening to constantly:

-Suckerpunch
-Mars Hotel
-Sick and Wrong
-Eden
-Don't Walk Away
-Loose Cannon
-Forfeit

oh... another band that I've been really diggin' is PALO ALTO... however, I've only downloaded one song called "Fade in, Fade out" (I think it was released on the DareDevil soundtrack)... but it kicks large arse, so I'm keeping my eye out for this band.
