Any unknown/unsigned bands you guys like?

Absolution Project - An indy rock band from Rochester, NY. More of a harder sound than some of the bands that have been posted in this thread, but I like them.

RED - Christian rock band that has a decent sized following from what I can gather, but they may not get the exposure being a Christian band. Not bad though.

Evans Blue - A Canadian band that also has something in the way of a following already, but I've never heard of them. I really like their sound from what I've heard so far. Kinda Breaking Benjamin-ish

Era For a Moment - Another small rock band from Massachusetts (no surprise there). They have a female lead singer, so imagine Evanesence, but more rock and less "pretty sounding but dark music"

Yeah, I like Red too. I hope they get the attention they deserve.

Re: Any unknown/unsigned bands you guys like?

Tonight, I got to looking for unknown bands and came up with some good ones:

Dream State
Corsets Are Cages
Ashton

Dream State is my favorite. Basically a mix between Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World and Augustana (according to reviews), and I'd actually agree with that. Check them out if you like any of those bands mentioned.

One more small-time band:

Social Syn

Re: Any unknown/unsigned bands you guys like?

And now for a band my girlfriend turned me on to: Dead In London. They're really the first "local" band I've been a fan of besides Mushroomhead, but they're obviously smaller-time cause they just play around Cleveland and NE Ohio. Not too bad tho.

Also, I dunno really how big they are, but Social Code is a pretty decent band. They're from Edmonton, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite music hotspots. They kinda lean towards the "Alt" in "Alt/Rock", but I still like them.

And finally, Fosterchild. It has a guy from Fuel (not the singer) and a guy from another Philly rock band (Octane). Their sound is pretty much straightforward rock, which is nice, if not a little "cookie cutter".

Re: Any unknown/unsigned bands you guys like?

Major bump for some guys that deserve their props.

Course of Nature is a pretty unknown band and they're touring with Hurt right now (which is the reason I checked them out). Well I am loving their CD that is out right now (from their site, other places, and iTunes) and it's getting many plays from me. I enjoy being able to get "lost" in music and I definitely can with their stuff.

"Bad Veins" from Cincinnati. Saw their show, it was awesome. Two guys, one of them uses an old school synthesizer.

"Gold and Warm" is one of my favorite songs right now, minus the horrendous beginning.

*bump*

I had no idea Australia produced such good rock music, but there are two bands you definitely should check out if you are a fan of rock. They bring both skill and creativity.

Karnivool (http://www.myspace.com/karnivool)
Check out: Cote, Themata, Shutterspeed, Roquefort

The Butterfly Effect (http://www.myspace.com/thebutterflyeffectau)
Check out: Aisles of White, A Slow Descent, Reach

Re: Any unknown/unsigned bands you guys like?

I've been a fan (sort of) of these guys since I saw them on that Ozzy MTV reality show. I'm pretty sure they're still unsigned (don't even know if they're still together, truth be told) but I really dig the sound.

Not for the fait of heart:
