my fav kinda obscure band is ugly kid joe. theyre kinda punkish with metal aspects and they have some funny parody songs too!! they were mostly popular in the 80s so its like dad music..yk xD anyway, my fav album is america's least wanted (even tho its a lil basic its amazeballs! X3)

a few of my fav smaller locals are:

catalyst (listen to destroyed or nice to see you)

please 2003 (1999 red balloons or facts or cap thats facts)

sevenbasicplots (eight months)

blue park suites (five)

shed life (scarface)

idk if hes rly underground but i rly like whatsaheart his music is so good im gonna start levitating into space 

starry cat is so underrated 

theyre on yt its so underrated

Amira Elfeky is such a talented artits and I'm super suprised that not many know her. Tonight is an absolut banger if you're more into like grunge metal music you will love her.

Idk what counts as unpopular but stain the canvas!! They’re amazing I really want to see them live sometime but They’re from Italy and I live in Canada (╥‸╥) all of their songs are in English tho so still check them out even if you don’t like songs in different languages ( > 〰 < )♡

Juice, 8 Degrees, and Suzi!

haii! idk if this counts but mommy long legs 

Froglady. They do mostly pop music and a lot of their current influences come from their time at jazz school. Love Games is probably my favorite album by them, banger after banger. Definitely an album with no skips for me. 

Ginger Root

he’s one of my fav artists :)

Pine and Fire, its a punk/folk band. I actually know one of the members families, that's how I found them. Saw them perform live at a coffee shop lol :)

Also SYM1 which is a, "Eurodance and hyperpop adjacent pop artist" saw them in person as well and omg they were genuinely so cool

Arctic Flowers is also super good, their a Punk Rock band

Sophia Rose Sitran has some banger songs

Chose all these based on how many monthly listeners they have on Spotify rn. Pine and Fire has 1,454, SYM1 has 2,699, arctic flowers has 838, and Sophia Rose Sitran has 38
at least as of Rn 

Im really into chevelle atm, idk how popular they are but i really like them!

Sonic dragolgo

i think ENON needs to be here

Giles Corey, same guy from Have A Nice Life but ive never heard anyone talk about the Giles Corey album its amazing!!

Im OBSESSED with this artist I found on spotify recently

Her names Chelsea Doll and she has 3 monthly listeners on spotify

Wish she had more music :((

Those Poor Bastards is my favorite band. If you're into Gothic country, you definitely know who I'm talking about, but they're pretty unknown outside of that. They used to do tours and collaborations with Hank 3 if you need more convincing.

Steaming Wolf Penis on the other hand is so bad that they got banned from playing in certain places. 

Death Piggy is GWAR before GWAR was a thing. Never hear anyone talk about em, but they might be popular for all I know. There's plenty of their songs that aren't seen online if you're looking to find some lost media. Rip Dave

The Pine Box Boys is another Gothic country band that you wouldn't know unless you listen to the genre. Great story telling and solid sound.

Slim Cessna's Auto Club fits into the "you wouldn't know if you don't listen to the genre", but they're more of country rock and their lyrics sound like they should make sense, but they don't.

liszto.

favorite underground band rn is either Rekiem , Second Place , or Grip Down

I'd probably have to say The Heartthrobs or January Man!!! both underrated and amazing

my moment to reply has expired, but I'll still bookmark this and I'd say that Autoheart, I'd love for them to be mainstream some day tbh

gorestreet nu-horror wtf boss! 

id definitely recommend chemicide, howler and motivik if you like thrash metal!!

Solya, not super small but I feel like she's gonna get crazy big soon. To me her sound is kinda like a mix of Strawberry Switchblade and Lana.

greeley estates n thai body dump 

If you're into prog rock, I'd highly recommend VOLA. Their members are Danish and Swedish, all of them are incredibly talented! Very strong driving songs with well-tambered vocals. I'd say some good songs to give them a try would be Head Mounted Sideways, Ruby Pool, and Smartfriend (my favorite!). They're also releasing a new album soon, there's already a single from it called Break My Lying Tongue. Great stuff.

Vronsk!!

the trigger quintet, korea girl, letters to Catalonia hehe

for some good underground rock music (kinda punk leaning) i would really recommend the band the thunderskulls. i believe they're from pittsburgh, pa? their song let me be fucks soooo hard though

A band i like that is really unknown currently is PMToday. they made music in the 2000's-2010's and are no longer together. They have two albums released and 2 EPs. The albums are "And then the hurricane", and "In Medias Res". I hope anyone who checks them out likes them!! :))

Yall should check out Puzzle or Enjoy

Happy's Birthday is a really cool band! Only about 20 listeners a month right now.

have you ever heard of nettspend

HER NAME WAS FIRE and Legitimate Business

YES!! theres sadesper record and coaltar of the deepers, both are japanese shoegaze bands they are also a bit of shibuya kei but without the cutsy pop aesthetic, sadesper record is a mix of eletronic though

motionhue's Profile | SpaceHey

jazmin bean!

Mine is "Industries Of The Blind"!!. My favorite track is "waiting and waltzing in airport terminals".

4 позиции бруно (4 position bruno) - experimental electronic music, idm and post-industrial

твоё нежное безумие (your gentle madness) - electropunk

нежное это (it`s tender) - fun, toy-like and little weird electronica

All these projects are from Russia and (in my opinion) deserve attention

im not seeing anyone put sElf here ... they're awesome!

mine is tokyo frenzy he is a digicore musician he rocks

Honestly idk how popular Picture Me Broken is, but ive never seen anyone into them and theyre soooo good.

Secondgradeknifefight r a prtty kool mathcore band nd in which divides us r some dope ass deathcore shizzz check em out!!1!!!1!1!

here are some cool smaller bands i listen to....

Tuscadero: its a nice band that kinda has a Plumtree vibe?? I wanna say its indie rock but i could be wrong. Anyway, they're super underrated!! BD 

You'll Never Get To Heaven: they're super different from the first band, i'd say the music they make is ambient pop. They're also alot more popular... last time i checked, they have like 300k listeners on spotify... But anyway, their music is perfect to fall asleep to, its soooo calming!!!!

sugar plant: another ambient/dream pop band, but less popular. I think the band's japanese? Their music is another really good choice to put into your sleeping playlist if you have one. I really like their song "Turn It On" B:0

idk is these are considered underground but they def arent mainstream at all

i have never ever ever heard anyone talk about the bad doctors before, which is such a shame because i rly love their music!! they've got about 15 songs up on spotify, but stopped posting music as a band in 2016, and from what i can gather, they've rebranded (?) under the name vivatape, which also stopped in 2016, after they posted one song on soundcloud. do check em out if u like rock with insane synth solos!!!!!!!!! 

here's my top 3 songs from them!!! 

   1) the school of athens

   2) prism, mirror, lens

   3) metamorphoses: phaeton

Love the band Sisyphus Defeated! They're a folk punk, emo adjacent band. They have a couple songs on streaming platforms, highly recommend Ghosts! I've seen them live a couple times, and they're such a sweet band. Would love to see them get more listens!

Heyhey so i really like 'Pure Hell'!

They're a POC punk-rock band and only really released like one album but its very cool

I think they're also headlining a concert with Minor Threat in NYC soon which is pretty cool

I like Broken By The Scream. It's a heavy metal band.

woof, i'll tell you i found this gem right here -> https://q-fprod.bandcamp.com/album/waltrow-wilson god damn it's good
