i never see anyone talking about bloodywood, an Indian heavy metal band that incorporates traditional Indian instruments and sounds(???) they’re so cool omg <333

one band that i found through my sister when I was younger was 'the cab'. they split a few years ago but I still listen to them. no one that I know knows that they existed and it was a good ass band

They’re not really underground as they have a good amount of listeners on Spotify, have been nominated for a couple awards in the past and even toured in the US and UK but I find it hard to come across people who also listen to/are a fan of Nightmare Of You!! They have such good bangers; my personal fav is I Want to be Buried in Your Backyard :)

This cool shoegaze? (Not too sure on the genre) Band called happyvoid they’re on Spotify

death metal band called colpocleisis :)

I feel like I don't hear a lot of people talk about Polyphia. Their music is phenomenal and super well put together.

I’m not sure exactly how uncommon this is but I love UtsuP

It’s a Vocaloid that makes metal music. Each song is sang by a Vocaloid such as the more popular ones like Hatsune Miku to the less popular ones like Megpoid.

It’s pretty cool to hear Hatsune Miku and other Vocaloids do metal screams. My current favorite song by UtsuP is Corpse Attack.

There are also very occasional times where UtsuP himself will sing, but it’s rare. 

They were more popular in the early to like mid 2000s but i don’t see many AFI fans which is sad bc i want more AFI friends :(

I love going to thrift stores and buying CDs based entirely off the cover art. A few years back I found this really cool math rocky, post punk album by a local (Toronto) band that only released one album in 2009, before breaking up shortly after. 

The band was called Arietta, and the album, Migration. 

The band was never able to make it big, despite fully deserving it. This is a link to their only music video, but you can find their music still on Spotify and iTunes. I recently contacted the band members because I found they had music listed on their old website that I couldn't find anywhere online, but none of the guys still had the old CDs. A Shame.

Hi! id definitely say that Iwabo (i wrestled a bear once) would be uncommon, maybe some primus or ween

meira asher - spears into hooks - absolutely incredible artist but highly highly underrated and barely known will reccomend to anyone into industrial and/or noise

Glenn branca - the Ascension - for those into sonic youth, Glenn branca was a huge influence to them and the scene they came out of (New York's no wave scene). reccomended for those into noise rock and experimental music 

mindflayer - it's always 1999 - I don't know much about this artist but their work is highly enjoyable, reccomend to people who like noise and strange electronic music

young marble giants - collosal youth - the album our managers venue is named after so it has to be good, a highly influential trio band comprised of very stripped back production, reccomend to fans of lo-fi and minimalism

pussy galore - sampler - one of the greatest noise rock albums ever made, dick Johnson is a real highlight and a song so good it should be studied in primary school, reccomend to anyone with a somewhat open mind when it comes to music

a lot of my music taste fits into this post, but some I'm into in particular currently:

- lucid planet (also natas and tratas; they're basically the same). some very good guys from melbourne who make some trippy psychedelic prog rock. their second album even has a rave song (organic hard drive! here is a timestamped link of the irl rave at a lucid planet gig. insane. small flashing lights warning though)

^ lp also said I have a "very powerful voice" in a facebook comment so they get all of my love rn

- RISHLOO (my alltime fav band). more trippy psychy prog rock from seattle that feels like an alice in wonderland adventure. I've spent a third of my life in the throes of this band and I'm dying to see them live despite their inactivity and the fact I'm on a different continent entirely

- mire. the best prog to come out of canada as far as I've found. their singular album is very very tool-y to the point I can pinpoint specific songs and riffs they almost directly stole from tool but I love them regardless. mantra cymatic is a hit

- jericco. more prog guys from melbourne. their self titled album is nuts, my favs on it are 'always' and 'home'. home is a nine minute insane little adventure, after which you get the super atmospheric little outro track dahab, that makes you want an oud

- divine ratio. these guys might be from nz but I'm not entirely sure, just going off the fact they have a song called new zealand sky and some vague voice samples somewhere on their album LOL. just some more proggy stuff here as usual

this was an incredible ramble !!! enjoy

Gonna be that guy and say myself. #sorrwtrap 

Would love some feedback... Enjoy!

junodream: Radiohead meets coldplay kinda feel

the Weakerthans: beautifully written lyrics and storylines unusually beautiful guitar riffs. space jane meets the smiths meets carseat headrest

frightened rabbit: heart-retching lyrics with simple but comforting melodies

deep focus: young artists, beabadoobee type chords, so soothing, beautiful arpeggios 

Regionals: slowly slowly and basement sounding, mid 90s punk/emo influence

Sign Crushes Motorist

Malevolence (they're kinda well known but they still deserve attention)

Penelope Trappes

The Envy Corps

Pepper Coyote (yes, the horse cock song guy. His music is actually really good if you ignore the blast radius and new game + albums)

Balance and Composure

REPULSIVE

Mount Shrine

Inu-Jima is an underground band I found recently :)

Currently hyper-fixed with Ozone Dehumanizer, he makes some Italian underground hardcore rap, some horrorcore and released his last album a month ago circa, NIHIL III.

Avatar Metal!!

guerra fria is so heavenly. 

Here are some popular artists in Sweden, but they are only popular in Sweden and nowhere else

• Magnus Uggla
• Markoolio
• Håkan Hellström
• Veronica Maggio

(Haven't heard anyone outside of Sweden listen to these artists)

The northern boys need a lot more support, they are more funny than like musical but I love them.

Also deep focus is so good I saw them live at a youth music festival once and their songs are so calm and kinda happy and very soothing

Junodream is also really good it’s kinda like Radiohead meets Coldplay, they have gorgeous and unique chord progressions.

Im gonna put some artists and then some songs u should check out by them :3

Cherri volterra- tapeworm, adhesive

These songs are kind of the vibe of like motion sickness by phoebe bridgers. (Theyre also the only songs out, but theyre supposedly releasing an album before they split up to go to college)

Blue smiley- idk, flower, spin, flip

Some of these songs are only instrumental, but the vocals are super good. Hard to explain but kind of like alex g and duster mixed together. 

Eiafuawn- no more like that, the coffin was so light i thought it might blow away, the voice of music, drunk pilot and the romantic passenger.  

This is similar to blue smiley but alot more like alex g and alot more singing i really love it alot its great winter music. 

Eiafuawn and Blue smiley might not be the most underground but theyre suuper great regardless and ive never seen anyone else who listens :p But cherri volterra is a band at my school full of super cool people and i actually am obsessed with their songs. They have 80 monthly listeners atm, fix that ong!!! :333

Whatever Dad, is a small artist i found out a few years ago. They stopped producing a while ago but have a few albums of very soft indie if your into that.

No, Really/Hannah Sheehan (she's all I ever blog about anyways lmao) - she described herself as mostly folk music and made some amazing tunes in '07. personally speaking, her music kind of struck an emotional chord in me. although i'm sad to say she hasn't done much with music since 2016

I urge everyone to listen to this band called "Ticonderoga". Stopped making music in the late aughts.

Crysis

underground metal band

EP out July 8th

Synt.us!!!

idk if someone will be into these guys but Autoheart are one of my fav bands :P

idk if someone will be into these guys but Autoheart are one of my fav bands :P

Evergreen Terrace - Pretty good post-hardcore/metalcore band. Kinda sounds like a watered down Poison the Well but they're their own thing aswell

Kurtizány z 25. avenue - Old school post-hardcore band from Czechia. They sound a lot like Helmet but super solid overall

Skywalker - Czech post-hardcore/trancecore (yeah you can really tell I'm big into post-hc lol) band. Really solid for crabcore

Chimaira - Okay these guys aren't that obscure but still super underappreciated, these guys were incredibly good and made brutal metalcore 

Nothingface - Not obscure within the nu metal enthusiast community but still underappreciated. If you want hardcore infused nu-metal these guys are good

Apartment 26 - British industrial/nu metal band (second album had elements of jazz and swing strangely enough), pretty underappreciated even if not that great tbh

36 Crazyfists - Alaskan melodic metalcore/post-hardcore/screamo/nu metal act, this is the type of music that can only come out of Alaska 

I dont knowwhat really is considered underground but heres some that arent that popular: spirit fountain, convincer,  wristmeetrazor, doan, sorry mom, daddys beamer, hospital bracelet, whale bones, hotel mira, told slant, merchant ships, mom (the japanese alternative rock one not the indietronica one), fredo disco, gardenhead, i hate it too, outer limits recordings, static dress, rome hero foxes, sweet joey vermouth, moose blood, blue foster, havemercy, super whatevr, dwellings, greyhaven, the flat stanleys, head north, cosmopaark, monty.pk, and summerbruise

Colin Stetson

I have yet to hear a bad track by him. He has done the scores for several movies, along with releasing his own music.

For those of you who are terminally online, you might have heard his music in those memes of sped up videos of cats "making bread". 

Or you might have instead watched the movie Hereditary and heard the most recognizable song: Reborn. 

And I think he's doing the soundtrack for Junji ito's anime: Uzumaki. 

my favorite band right now is saturdays at your place. theyre from kalamazoo michigan and ive seen them 3 times and seeing them again in august. another really great band is post eden. theyre also from michigan and ive seen them once when i saw my friend's band camino kid play. ever since ive been hooked. some more bands are luna pier, former critics, good sleepy, summerbruise, arcadia grey, no fun club, seaholm, arms length, one exit down, and formed by glaciers. most of these bands are michigan local.

Rome: Amazing neofolk band from Luxembourg. No white supremacist bullshit like Death In June and others. Rome- The Accidents of Gesture

Atrax Morgue: Death industrial. Dude killed himself. Depressing shit. Overwhelming atmosphere. Great background music imo. Atrax Morgue- Slush of a Manic Full Album Individual song uploads are hard to find so here's a full album.

Consumer Electronics: Power electronics. Song by them plays on my profile. Sex Offender Boyfriend- Consumer Electronics

Five Starcle Men: Vaguely alien abduction themed noise band. The guys were DXM (cough syrup) freaks. Really strange and amazing to listen to while high. Five Starcle Men- Pizza Hut Families

i just found a group called secret band!! they're not super small but nobody i know has heard of them so i thought i'd share X3

ALSO my friends have a band called clavus you should check them out, they're very midwest screamo-y

"Mundochackra"A Latin rock band with great music, I met it through a youtuber, unfortunately it does not exceed 200 monthly listeners xd

"Mundochakra" Una banda de rock latino con musica genial, la conoci por un youtuber, lamentablemente no pasa de los 200 oyentes mensuales xd

Ive been obsessed with a recent album from a Japanese band called "kanonary". Its noisy, jarring, soulful, and almost celestial in it's absurdity. I cannot find this band anywhere online, but their music is available on Apple Music, and most likely Spotify as well.

Elkland. A 2005 synth NYC based band, they eventually became the Drums. Mostly famous for their Money song that blew up. I'm a fan of them and this side project led by Johnny Pierce. Great if you like 80s synths I recommend!

https://youtu.be/FcgFZHYDW9U 

acetone, great band from the 90's-2000's who were pretty overlooked and still are. they have lots of incredible music. very slow, great guitar, with a melodic and beautiful voice from richie lee. i recommend "all the time" "louise" "shaker" "germs" and "vibrato". RIP richie

yikii is an amazing japanese experimental artist — i recommend their album The Crow-Cyan Lake 鸦青湖畔 ! 

Dandelion Hands, Baby Bugs, and postcard nowhere 

- Julian Jay Savarin

- Japan

- U.K.

- Tin Machine

- Omnipotent Youth Society

High Five Spaceship - Experimental British indietronica; primarily a collaborative effort among about 5 people. Takes influence from a lot of prog rock bands of the 80s.

Cut Copy - Mid-late 2000s Australian indietronica, though still releasing as recent as 2020. Pleasant dance beats, warm feelings abound.

The Boomtown Rats - late 70s/early 80s Irish protopunk. Most well known for the song I Don't Like Mondays and the organization of the Live Aid charity concert. Often takes a leftist political swing.

Me, obviously.

Raven Underground

Cosmic Johnny

King and Queen of the Losers

chazevo, dreadlock p*ssy, vampire beach babes

tobokegao (https://tbkgao.bandcamp.com/album/tobox) who makes some pretty cool japanese chiptune pop
