Good, Lesser Known Bands

[Steamboat_Kevin]

I've been looking around, and I've found quite a few good bands that not many people have heard of, thought I'd share them. What are some others?
Guster
The Shins
Arlo
Sam Roberts
Gavin Degraw
Stereophonics
The Redwalls

 

[CaptainMichael]

Well, Asleep at the Wheel is a very good lesser known Western Swing Band. They play a lot of Bob Wills' songs. They opened up for George Strait's Country Music Festivals all four years. A lot of talent!

I am a pretty big fan of The Clarks.

They just released their new CD 'Hell On Wheels' last month... and its really good. Not as good as some of their older stuff... but good.

OK Go are awesome, so is Off-Kilter (although they aren't lesser known around here, since they play at WDW ). Never heard of East West, I'll have to check them out

I love new music so I can see I'll be searching these groups all day now. Thanks everyone...

Gavin DeGraw is fantastic and finally making his way in the music world. He broke through I think really by the theme song for the WB show One Tree Hill and has really become more popular. He is an up and coming star I hope. He has a unique sound to his voice and the songs are quite good, I have the CD.
