Less known bands that need more recognition (2009)

Do you happen to know a band that you think is awesome, but sadly they aren't very known? Post about them here and one of their songs. Maybe we will be able to discover some new bands.

I'm gonna say JohnOssi. They are a Swedish band made up of two people. Because they are only two people they have no bass in their songs. Here is my favorite song by them:

im goin with spocks beard or maybe some hard-fi. theres alot of weird bands and bands that need more exposure to hit it big but thats not why we call ourselfs indie.

Muse's old albums definately deserve a lot more attention.

I have a feeling there is going to be alot of shit music

The Cribs? Indie/rock band from the UK comprising of three brothers and Johnny Marr (former member of The Smiths).
 
 

so were all going to try and out prentitious each other.

I can't really tell what's not well known, in Australia we're so culturally isolated we don't get many of the bands US and Europe do, just the pop trash like Lady Gaga. Maybe The Sounds? 

Orange orange 
  

" so were all going to try and out prentitious each other. "

i like the cribs. 
 
also i don't know how big tokyo police club are in the states, but over here in the uk i like to tip people off to them.
 
 
 
 
 
 
the beatles?????!!?

yeah the beatles wicked good. tokyo police club is kind of big in the northeast here in the states. 

sorry its the way we speak in boston. wicked means very around here. so wicked good would be very good. but wicked can only be used as a positive not negative.

Dude, that Johnossi is awesome! Thanks for the recommendation.
 
I really think that John Frusciante's solo work is under rated:
 

" @addictedtopinescent: What language is that? "

I throw out 31 Knots. Portland based band.

"Transatlantic" with the song "Duel with the Devil".  Awesome song and awesome band.

Say Anything. They release one of the greatest pop punk albums of all time followed by two great albums and yet the biggest draw they get to a show is 2,000 people at the most. 
 
Manchester Orchestra. There an awesome indie band who should get more exposure.
 
Moving Mountains. A great indie, post-rock band who creates great atmosphere in there songs. 
 
Brand New. Sure they have grown a following but most people I talk to have never heard of them which is sad since The Devil and God is easily one of the greatest albums released in the last 10 years.

Might as well give up now, cause you can't out-pretentious me. I listen to air, and I don't mean the electronic duo Air, but the atmosphere surrounding us. Some say it's not music, but I say they're just not listening. They're probably trying to listen with their ears, haha, hearing is so last millennium. I lost mine a long time ago. Real music is about sensation - you feel it. The best songs are the ones that put the air inside you.  Last night I was listening to bike pump in my leg by Rhinoplasty and it was so good. I wanna go see them live. It's a real event, like totally crazy cause everyone has a bike pump and they're all pumping their legs with air. It's participatory like no art form before it. My friend Susan listened to air-filled syringe in the neck by the post-pump band V^ and is totally in the hospital today. It must have been so awesome, I'm jealous of her. I don't think I'm ready to listen to a track that hardcore yet. "

  Etna. If you like metal you should give it a listen.

Not sure how big they are in America but nobody in England has heard of Tonight is Glory: 
 

I feel I have to mention my friends band here, not only because they are my friends but also because they're really good :).  Quality isn't the best around, but there are some other studiorecorded songs on youtube.
 
 

Shellac, also known as The Shellac of North America - Steve Albini's (Big Black and Rapeman) sideproject. Also, Big Black and Rapeman would deserve much recommendation.

  This is an awesome band that arn't very known at all but should be.

My favourite band right now are Sonic Boom Six, don't think that they're that known. They're a Punk Rock/Rap/Reggae/Ska band......written out that sounds terrible but they do it very well. They have some very good remixes of their own songs too.

MATT AND GOD DAMN KIM!

estrogen highs- it's my brothers band that goes on tour sometimes. they are coming up to Canada soon. they are like a punk band that him and his friend made. 
 
taking dawn. i saw them like a week ago when i saw all that remains. he helped my friend get a signing of all that remains. they are actually nice guys as they talked to people on facebook.

The Bird and the Bee, they do it for the lulz, sometimes:
 
"Polite Dance Song", video directed by Eric Wareheim, bonus points if you know who he is. Featuring one of the best dancers that ever lived.
 

One Day As a Lion is a great duo and i don't think they're that well known.

Hidria Spacefolk and Bland Bladen. Two amazing psychedelic progressive space rock bands. 
 
  

Caspian.

They're an excellent Post-Rock band that, while not reinventing the genre, have refined it to its epic, minimalist essentials. Just put out an album a few months back that's worth checking out, but their previous effort, "The Four Trees", is definitely the album you should look at.  
 
  

Circle takes the square. Please. More people need to be aware of them, and support them, so they can make the time to finish that damn second album!

CAKE!

Here's some...
