Feel free to post young bands on the rise or bands that have been around, but don't seem to gain any reputation. Please include a brief discription and a few recommendations, if possible. I will start the list off with a few.
Starlight Mints - very poppy/catchy indie rock that uses abstract string samples to create a big sound. not really sure what to compare these guys to. i would recommend "Blinded By You", "Sugar Blaster", or "Black Cat"
Deer Hoof - group of very talented musicians, they focus more on rhythmic aspects of music than melody, i would say. this music is very strange, but catch...may not be for everyone. "Panda" and "Flower" are good examples.
The Unicorns - solid pop/rock band that is just getting its name out. very easily accesable in comparison to the band prior. "Gut Stains" and "Jellybones" will give you an idea of this band's spectrum.
Blue Six - if ever there was an album created for sex, this is it. some of the smoothest house music that i have heard. incredibly smooth, dominantly female vocals over the easiest listening electronica in existence. "Pure", "Music and Wine", and "All I Need" are a few of my favorites.
Opeth - okay, these guys are well known in the metal scene, but for a reason. there seems to be a great void for metal on this board, and some of opeth's newest material is quite enjoyable, even for the softest of souls. i don't think any other band is capable of emitting melody on such a vast array of mediums...i just can't promote these guys enough. if you are a new-comer to metal, "Benighted", "Windowpane", or "In My Time of Need" will better suit you. for those of you who can handle a little distortion, "The Leper Affinity", "The Drapery Falls", or "Serenity Painted Death" are worthy titles.
