Everyone knows Skrillex tho...
For better or worse.

But honestly?

I don't really have a favorite band. I never really listened to music that much when I was a child.

Well even if you don't have a favourite band, do you at least have a favourite song from an obscure artist?

Sung by Russians

What the fuck.

Why is the 007 theme in the-I don't even.

Here's another one. These guys weren't even in a Jet Set Radio game so I don't know where I heard them from. Their band name is OK so it's incredibly hard to find any of their stuff. I think they briefly changed their name to Flying Car Company which is an even worse name.

I dunno if "soothing" is the right word to use, but I really like this band's stuff, so thanks for that.

I dunno how well known this guy is, seeing that this song was in a popular cartoon, but I dun see much people talk about him, so here's my pick

This Voltaire guy makes some pretty enjoyably creepy stuff.

Good, I was hoping that this thread would help people discover new bands that they like. Here are a few more songs by that band.

Here's another band that appeared in JSRF, bis. They're kinda a guilty pleasure of mine because their early stuff is sorta bubblegum pop-ish and that's their only stuff that I like. They broke up years ago but apparently they're back together and coming out with a new album.

"Bubblegum Pop"
So that's what it's called.

Elija2 · Apr 5, 2014 07:09 PM

Well, bubblegum pop isn't exactly accurate when describing bis.

Well at least now I can double post without this one being merged with my last one.

The Fratellis had a song that appeared in an iPod commercial, but besides that I don't think they're too well known. Their albums have gone downhill since their first one though.

That seems to be a thing with artists these days.

Did I get you into him? This was the song that did it for me:

But this has to be my favorite song he's ever done:

Disregarding that, however, I just recently stumbled upon this and loved it. I doubt she counts as a band but this has got to be one of, if not my absolute, favorite genre of music. I wish it had a name.

So soothing~

I wish there was a better recording, though. This seems to be the only one...

I discovered Makoto Kawamoto after I found out that she collaborated with Guitar Vader, one of the bands I posted in the OP. The song that they collaborated on was a rock song though, and I was surprised to learn that all of her other songs are pop songs. For whatever reason though I still really like her stuff. She's most known for doing the opening theme for the Rurouni Kenshin anime. I figured I'd post this since jkid might like her stuff.
