Obscure bands
Verbena Souls For Sale (their debut) A video for a single (Way Out West) from their last album, La Musica Negra https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJQuymYY9s8 Maybe not as obscure as some but more obscure than they deserved to be. |
I have went through my music pretty thoroughly and compiled a list of artists I have not heard mentioned.( Rock ,hard rock, alt.... 70's to present) Rival Sons Hero jr. Gotthard Moxy Pallas Gary Hoey Mad Season Krypteria Glass Moon Fastway Jet CamelotHardline Dead Soul Tribe Meat Puppets Monster Magnet Legs Diamond Mother Love Bone Skywynd Porcupine Tree RTZ Spock's Beard Roadmaster Rob Tognoni Screamin Cheetah Wheelies The Good Rats TKO Vinnie Moore Triumvirat Symphony X The Rockets Velvet Revolver Vandenberg Vanden Riot Richie Kotzen Do any of these ring a bell for anyone? |
Here’s another one that I love: John Croslin was the main man in The Reivers (AKA Zeitgeist, before a conflict with another band caused them to change their name). This was one of the earliest and IMO best alt-country bands. I’m not sure that they’re obscure enough to qualify for this thread, but - if they are - they go to the top of my list. If they don’t qualify, Croslin’s next band "Fire Marshalls of Bethlehem" surely does. Their one record wasn’t at the level of The Reivers catalog, but it was good in its own right. Basically, my belief is that Croslin belongs on this list. He’s an immensely talented and undeservedly obscure musician, IMO. |
@arcam - compliments on your "arcane" taste. The only ones from your list I've even heard of are those below. I marked the ones I've actually ever listened to.... Meat Puppets Monster Magnet Mother Love Bone Porcupine Tree - listened Spock's Beard - listened briefly Screamin Cheetah Wheelies The Good Rats - know these guys from back in 1970/71 on vinyl. Listened to it a lot back then. Have their first on CD now. Velvet Revolver - Slash's band after Guns N Roses, I think. Never listened. Do check out A.A. Bondy solo also in Verbena. Worth a quick listen. |
