hi, i was just thinking it would be interesting to see if anyone liked the non famous, what some may call indie (though the commercialisation of indie bands has just made the term indie and oxymoron). i would say mine were Fall out boy, but then they sold out, which i don't mind, but now i cant say them. hmm, Red apparatus jumpsuits are also quite a good band, but im not really that into them. what about you?

The ones that come to my mind right now are Nada Surf and Fountains of Wayne. They're somewhat known but I think they deserve more attention than they do now.

My favorite band is Spitalfield (who not many people have heard of), but they disbanded last year.

Gatsbys American Dream is another good band, and they haven't disbanded yet.

There's also Brandtson, Time Spent Driving (who almost no one has ever heard of), Autopilot Off (they disbanded), Appleseed Cast, and Harlem Shakes.

A lot of The Militia Group bands are really good. (Except for Cartel and Acceptance. I hate them.)
Edit: Actually, Cartel and Acceptance aren't on TMG's label anymore.

And actually, the all/most of the bands that went from Deep Elm to TMG are really good.

then why are you here? (as in posting) music becomes famous if they are brilliant, like FOB. some that are also very good dont become famous. if you only listen to music that is famous are you actually choosing the music. or is it being given to you through the media. O this weeks number one is this... are you actually choosing it, or will you go and buy it just because it is famous and said to be good. im not saying tht famous music is bad, 99% of my stuff is famous, but of that i dont really, really enjoy half of it. i like it, but not as much as the music i discovered myself. so i have to conclude that you either posted here to start a flame war, or you do not really get the point of the thread.

I also like Little Dragon a lot, which is more along the lines of Trip Hop.
