Here’s how it works, post a not well-known band and (if possible) a link to one of their songs or videos and what type of music they make. I know this seems corny and has probable been done before(don’t know how to search) but if people join in, it’ll work. I’ll start. Band: Tesla(no one i know has heard of 'em) Recomended Song: Paradise [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dThaLhbHGSU&feature=related](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dThaLhbHGSU&feature=related) Genre: Rock ---

Band: Volbeat [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mV\_HHL-h6g](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mV_HHL-h6g) starts out sounding country but turns into some seriously kick ass metal! ---

Oddly enough I just came across them for the first time a couple of days ago, and spent some time browsing them on youtube. They’re definitely metal, but the videos also give off a feel of, I dunno, _hillbilly_ metal? ---

People don’t know Clutch nor Tesla? I feel old _and_ confused. [Cancer Bats](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2j-xR_wSAQ) - Punk? Metal? I don’t know but they rock live, lots of energy. ---

No kidding – my friends and I loved Tesla in junior high and high school – even saw them live when they opened for Poison. _Damn_, I’m old! (_The Great Radio Controversy_ is on my short list of most sublime glam rock albums, along with _Dr. Feelgood_. Hairy, glammy, decadent perfection from start to finish!) Anyway, here’s my contribution: Band: Земфира (Zemfira) Song: [параноя (Paranoia)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JXIwFEIMN8) Genre: Rock (Russian) ---

[Blue Sky Project: Pirates](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHS6pDKpE6Q) You might recognize this as the music behind a [popular television commercial](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIn5cS2eVbg). ---

**Sarah Fimm** [Let it Run](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CS8uMkH1Xew) Indie female singer-songwriter. Her earlier stuff was more downtempo trip hop, her newer stuff much less so. ---

Fever Ray! I like it. But I have to admit, I like The Knife more. I like that Sarah Fimm song too. I’m intrigued by downy too. I might have to listen to them more when I’m more in the mood. My musical taste has started going all weird lately. But if I absolutely had to recommend something pretty obscure right now, I’d go with… Yura Yura Teikoku (ゆらゆら帝国), “Sweet Surrender” (I think it’s the DFA remix) [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/J3WdudMyf1M/hqdefault.jpg "sweet surrender - yura yura teikoku - zentsuji") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3WdudMyf1M) Sorry for the bizarre video! Maybe this is what Japanese people watch when they get high.:o ---

**O’Death** were the first ones that came to mind that I could find a good video of, so here’s _[Lowtide](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRaiPCFTw-0)_. Genre? Fuck knows, something grotesque folk-bluegrassy perhaps. Come for the psychotic fiddling, stay for the southern Gothic themes! ---
