The Best Bands You May Not Have Heard Of

3 Mar 2008, 03:13

I can't pretend to know all the great bands you never heard of, but these are some of my favorite less-popular bands.

Low Millions (Adam Cohen's band; soulful pop/rock ballads)
The Informers (90s rock from Indiana, USA; impossible to find)
The Faint (synthpop/dance)
Little Birdy (Austrialian female-led pop)
Kaizers Orchestra (Norwegian rock)
Under The Influence of Giants (unabashed pop/dance-rock in falsetto)
Razorlight (alternative rock)
Melody Club (dance)

The following you may have heard of, but aren't extremely popular, so I'll go ahead and point them out:

Franz Ferdinand
OK Go
Rilo Kiley
Fountains Of Wayne, in particular Traffic and Weather
Spoon
Kaiser Chiefs
Justice (French electronica à la Daft Punk

    is this post a joke? some of these bands, including razorlight and the faint, are huge BIG TIME in the indie scene.

    You answered your own question by using the phrase in the indie scene. I'm not really indie myself, though I listen to a fair bit of indie music, and this post isn't really directed at those who are.

    By Kaisers Chiefs, do you mean to refer to Kaiser Chiefs?
