okay, so does anyone on this site like a band that's not supergazillions-of-fans famous? i mean, green day, mcr, and simple plan have their own threads and its all good but hello what happened to the rest of the world? talk about the "little" bands here. (yeah, i start New Discussions when i get bored. deal with it.)
yeah, I'm too old and jaded to even think about liking new bands. i mean, unless they really impress me. Which, honestly, hasn't happened in I dont know how long.
I'm obsessed with Alkaline Trio again. For the 3rd time this year. They're well known, but not huge.
I started a discussion about a band called Type O Negative a while back and only like 3 people responded. They have been around for years and years, finally going platinum in 1993 with their awesome album "Bloody Kisses." Yet, they still haven't achieved the fame that they've hoped for. A few years ago I read an interview with their lead singer Peter Steele, just before the release of an album. He said something like "if this one doesn't make our band a household name, I'm quitting the music business for good." He hasn't of course, and they released another wonderful album last winter.
I've been a fan of theirs for years but still haven't had a chance to see them live. I've been hoping they will play at our club here but still haven't. They were at a club in Manhattan a couple of months ago and my friend went. She invited me but I at that time, I just couldn't go. She did get them to autograph their new CD for me, that was cool. If anyone on here enjoys dark, gothic type metal with some punk thrown in for good measure. Not real heavy. They have been described as Black Sabbath meets the Beatles. I concur. They are an excellent band. Check them out!!!
its hard for me to judge whats well known and whats not, cos like whats a lesser known band in australia is like a pretty popular band in America.
but like Australian bands that aren't well known overseas or even interstate, are like Kisschasy, Gryoscope, The Hot Lies, Elora Danan(my favourite), and then i listen to alot of unsigned music :)
