Underappreciated Bands

[alstr]

Incredible bands/artists that never got their dues (and probably never will....) Everyone knows at least one. All genres welcome. Post away!

The Good Wife, Southampton (RIP)

&

The Feral Text, formerly known as Brenda, Bournemouth (RIP, I think...) Easily in my top 3 live bands I've seen. Their singer releases music under the name The Slow Revolt .

Not sure this is keeping in with the theme of the thread but, The Cardigans.

They'll be forever remembered for Lovefool and Burning Down The House, but the album Gran Turismo is a totally different kettle of fish and never gets a mention.

Always Minutemen - doh!

Here's a video of their 1st EP - Paranoid Time released in 1980 on SST. 

They hit the ground running and then take off with every release after this.

Biggest hardcore/post-hardcore/alt-rock group that never was-  guitarist/vocalist D Boon died tragically in 1985.

For me, the fact they push both the energy and the creativity to the limit make them the ultimate punk band, along with their flawless ethos.

(+ bassist Mike Watt has been playing for the Stooges in recent years for maximum punk points)
