The Great Unknown Bands -thread

[Crazylegs]

I'd like to inform you about a band from my neck of the woods, called Kvelertak (translation: chokehold).



they call their music "Necro'n'roll", and it's basically a mix between elements from black metal and pop rock.
Here's a single from their upcoming debut album, the track is called Mjød.

Gotta bumb this thread because I still havent checked out all the stuff mentioned in it. Im ashamed to say that I still havent even checked out the 5 recommendations by firelyry from back in May... Theres probably other stuff I havent checked either, so maybe my motivation to check them will come back if I see this thread every day on the front page.

Probably its just the Album Weeks bringing so much stuff weekly that I cant get myself to check out anything else. Does anyone else feel exhausted with all the new stuff coming from all directions? Im still loving it though

Oh, and Im saving my next new album recommendations for my week of the Album Week by the way   Just checked that I didnt recommend any of them in this thread either. Haha, actually noticed that I've only recommended like 5 albums during this whole thread! Strangeeeee.

Just want to do a little promo for one the best bands coming from Berlin,Germany
Most of you probably know them already though...if not check out their songs/vids.

Beatsteaks: "I Dont Care As Long As Sing" - Official

Beatsteaks: Cut Off The Top

[bright lights, big city]

they're pretty good. i remember seeing them on those old epitaph punk-o-rama compilations like 10 years ago.


i figure that since i don't have 5 new artists for the album of the week thread, i would just throw this one out there. i came across this artist called Bersarin Quartett a few days ago, even though his album is from 2008. really good ambient/down-tempo.

also might as well throw Hurts in there as well (although Starz was probably the one who I saw talk about them first). their debut is in the itleaked thread, they are really fucking good. everyone should check them out. http://www.myspace.com/ithurts

Toe are great.

Washed Out is dope.  Pretty popular and not really a band...just one dude from Georgia

Here's my two cents:  Avec is a good female-fronted indie/punk band from Baltimore.  To my knowledge, they have 2 full length albums, "Lines" and "When I Breathe I Fall Asleep," and a self-titled EP.  Blackmail is a rock band from Germany.  All their albums are good.

Decortica are a band from New Zealand. I'm sure Deftones fans will enjoy them.

Washed Out is great! I've got all his shit if u guys have trouble finding any of it...

[Starz]

I have his first 'EP' I think but it doesn't include the song You and I. Do you know if it's been released at all as a single or something?

Yea, pretty sure it was just released as a single...  I got it from Pitchfork a while back.  Great track tho!  He also has some remixes with Small Black... 

Here's another cool demo...
