Bands you wish everyone else knew about.
Every once in awhile someone somewhere will turn me onto a new band or group I hadnt heard of. Might be something older like Nat King Cole that you woldnt ever think you would like or something from your childhood that you just dont remember like Social Distortion that you have a new found respect for or a new band that you had to go find everything they had ever done.
Mine would be The Drowning Men, they were signed by Borstal Beat records after touring with Flogging Molly (BB is FMs label) the wife and I have seen them numerous times and its always a great show. http://www.thedrowningmen.com/ My personal favorite song is "Rita". Enjoy Im hoping to find some more good groups from this thread! |

Along with Walk off the Earth, I'd highly recommend The Mowgli's. They're a really fun, happy-go-lucky type band from SoCal (lead male singer is from KC) that is quickly gaining popularity, largely in part due to their single "San Francisco" that gets used pretty commercially lately. Here's a few great ones from them:

I'm an enormous Radiohead fan, so I'm a bit partial, but I respect the effort. Going to listen to OK Computer now though, so I do have to rep you for planting that seed in my mind. |

I think Matt Pond PA has become a little more popular. But I remember going to a show about 5 years ago in a decent sized venue where they probably had about 20-25 people.

Great idea for a thread.
Here's a band that I absolutely love. Her voice as a bit of a haunting quality and everyone that I've ever exposed to them looks at me like I'm crazy. So now you son's a bitches get little taste. |

Im stoked to find out today The Drowning Men will be announcing tour dates tomorrow. I havent gotten to see them since Atlanta opening for Bad Books (another one you should check out) a couple years ago. They have been touring Europe and then got asked to come back and did it again.
I havent heard anything on this thread yet I would say I dislike... keep em coming. |

The mowgli's will be playing Waka this year. I'm over the festival thing, but the site is hard to beat and very doable from Missouri or Kansas.

It sounds like the Drowning Men will be doing to shows with Flogging Molly, I highly suggest those shows.
