Well, there's an Awesome Unknown Movies topic, so I thought I'd start one about Awesome Unknown/Lesser Known Music. I am a music fanatic. There are two Rock bands in mind that I think more people should know about and they are:

Atomship (Disbanded)
Atomship's Myspace

&

Year of the Rabbit (Disbanded)
Year of the Rabbit's Myspace

Check out some of their stuff. Anyone else have some music they think needs more attention that they'd like to share?

NOTE: Please let everyone know what genre the music is when posting.

 

Here is a little two man band, playing a beat up slide guitar and buckets, grill lids for drums, awesome live band, great party band, these guys rock.
