Are you serious?! The Silversun Pickups is too awesome to be unheard of, in my opinion. >.<

You know me virtually (or used to) and I love the Silversun Pickups. They're one of my favorite bands.

I know >___<
They've been around for a little while too..


I remember you liking The Killers alot .__. But I don't remember you mentioning sspu


I am freakin' pissed that they're going to be at a music festival here and I can't go see them

Silversun Pickups~
I have met virtually no one who knows who they are.

They're a great band. I've actually met quite a few people who know and like them

[Aoi Sakuraba]

Remioromen

[Pennyroyal Tea]

Silversun Pickups have their song in the newest Guitar Hero.

I'm betting that's mainstream enough.




Anyway continuing, Regina Spektor is a recent interest of mine.

[Sasami Jurai]

Owl City is a great band that's not very popular.

[Boxcar Bob]

I swear noone (Bar about 3 or 4 of my mates) ever seems to know Rainbow :'(

[Aoi Sakuraba]

Anyone hear heard of the brilliant green?

maybe you heard of them now after 10 years of being a band (formed in 97) since they have a opening song on gundam 00

[Gaming Goddess]

Delerium. A grand total of 4 people I know have heard of it/them

If they have a song on a popular anime show then I doubt they're unheard of.

Second, again I was referring to English speaking bands

Skindred
I Wrestled A Bear Once
Dimmu Borgir
Disembowelment
Job For A Cowboy
Killwhitneydead.
Meshuggah
Morbid Angel
Dying Fetus
Xenomorph
Six Feet Under
Skinless
Opeth

These are all popular bands. Everybody who listens to Metal knows these so therefore makes them popular. Mastodon has been played on MTV. There is nothing on the thread that says you can't post Japanese bands but they have to be unpopular or underrated and maximum the hormone is a popular one. You shouldn've said English bands only not bands in general because I can start slinging underrated and unpopular bands all freaking day. If you don't know Death Cad For a Cutie whether you like them or not you live under a rock because they are insanely popular as well. Job For A Cowboy also puts on an awesome show.

Sorry to disappoint a lot of you but most of the ones you claim are underrated or whatever aren't. They are not popular in your area due to marketing. Woot for me knowing the music industry.

MTV doesn't play music anymore, and when they do it's some [censored] like Fallout Boy or Britney Spears (lord help us all). They played metal on MTV2, but they axed that channel.

I just specified now didn't I?

Second, of course bands are popular in their own specific "scene" so that fact alone does not disqualify them from being unheard of. If a band doesn't have any popularity, it would be tough from them to play shows.

For example, An Horse is a pretty big band, of course this is only by indy standards, as well as Tegan and Sara, anyone who's into the indy/alternative scene would've already heard of them by now, as they sell out terminal five together.

However to to some person, and they might never have heard of the band, not just because they don't listen to that sort of thing, but because they weren't exposed to it. In other words, it's for exposure.

I could've proved the same point with a million other bands. Dude, just because you can talk, doesn't mean you know what you're talking about. Mr.Metalmaster
