Went to see IAMX at Heaven in London last night and I can’t understand how a band who are so good live can be so underated when the masses are queing up outside stadiums and arenas to see the latest pop factory churned out drivel.(Sorry, that turned into a bit of a rant). Anyone else got a favourite band who most people probably won’t have heard of who you think everyone should check out?

I like to keep the bands I like a secret for as long as possible, simply because I have to drop them as soon as they become popular. It’s a snobby kind of thing

I’ll not name them as I, like Don, like to keep such things to myself… as a clue though it’s a 4 person beat combo from Scouselandshire

Coldplay and U2.

I’ll answer your question seriously, just to be nice.

I am continually amazed that The Walkmen don’t sell millions of records. Cos they should.

sorry yeti, but such beautiful music should not be hidden from the public. they’re called ‘Binners and the Hora-ettes’

Jinder
Lou Rhodes
Chimp Spanner
Aliases
Skalpel

Lana Del Ray. Anyone heard of her? 😉

The Walkmen don’t sell millions of records

Eh?

How am I supposed to know who’s going to win this years X factor by this stage in proceedings? They’ve only had the first week at the judges houses

But whoever it is….. them

Ok. Serious answer Lizzy Grant.

As the Lana Del Rey champion you are DezB, you’d think you knew how to spell her name 😉

Anyway, here’s Airship

Rival Schools

Wolventrix!

check em out on iTunes, latest single is ace, ”Wunderlust”

I’m liking this. Loads of stuff to check out that I’ve never heard. I’ve decided to listen to every band that anyone posts here however long it takes! Even if their name (Chimp Spanner) seems made up. That is a great name though.

city and colour

Washed Out are really doing it for me at the moment, and I’ll keep pimping Zoot Woman untill someone else says they like them.

i’m not sure whether they’re actually underrated or not, i don’t often read the mags or listen to the right stations. the red bull sponsored free EP from last year suggests they might be Rated. Just hoping they’ll get round to an album before they split up. Unlike the super-ace gay-oi Methodist Centre (i’m thankful i stumbled across them at a festival a couple of years ago)
