I'm always looking for bands/artists that I've never heard of. Name that one band or artist that you wish everyone had at least heard once in their life! Try posting a Youtube video (or some other video/sound clip) for example's sake

Streetlight Manifesto
Genre: Ska
Youtube clip: Keasbey Nights (it's live, and honestly doesn't sound very good but their CD is definitely worth checking out)

 

[PrinceofWands]

Nick Drake

Pink Moon
Cello Song

U.P.O. I'm sure no one will actually check them out, but they are an awesome rock band.

Got it. Also check out Bandits of the Acoustic Revolution. The leader singer of Streetlight (Tomas) is also the lead singer of Bandits. Awesome group. I guess it goes without saying that Catch 22 is also quite good . I saw Catch 22 a couple of years ago, they opened for Reel Big Fish.

EDIT: Here's a Youtube video with a BOTAR song being played in the background. Very similar style to Streetlight but acoustic: Youtube Vid

 

[Judgement]

Silversun Pickups

I'm not sure if they're a local band or not but no one around Philly played them until about 6 weeks after I had started listening.

They remind me of early Smashing Pumpkins, so check them out:

Check out songs: Melatonin, Lazy Eye, Rusted Wheel

I have their CD and enjoy all of it.

 

[Coquito]

Land Of Talk

Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade/Primus

 

[DaveSimmons]

Chris Whitley

acoustic - scrapyard lullaby
electric - big sky country
live - cool wooden crosses

website - website

They're a (for now) local band here in Santa Barbara, but the song Stay With Me is better than 90% of the rock songs that are gettin radio air time lately.

Sorry for the myspace link, theyre not on youtube yet.

Nice. In case you don't know your pop-punk history you should definitely check out one of their ancestors, Oingo Boingo. They did much, much more than "Weird Science" and "Only a Lad", like:

Gratitude
No Spill Blood
Stay

I know Streetlight is Catch 22 evolved...but '98 Keasbey was so much better.

And I'm sure a lot of people know of them, but I just love them so much:

VNV - don't mind the video, it was the only one with decent sound quality.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Exodus - Pirahna

Best thrash band ever, and one of their best songs.

EDIT: Two more great thrash bands...

Testament - Apocolyptic City

Coroner - Semtex Revolution

OOMPH!
