Promote an Artist/Band!

[xDramatick]

There are loads of artists/bands making music all over the world.
&as we all know, it's easy to get heard, with sites like myspace and youtube allowing artists to share their music.
Personally, I'm not a fan of much mainstream/chart music and prefer finding new artists/bands that aren't that famous but produce good music.
I've made this thread so people can suggest new bands/artists on the web for others to check out. I'll definitely give everyone a listen.
Might just discover the next big thing.

I'll start the thread off with my favourite band, Porcelain And The Tramps.
They're Industrial/Rock, and Alaina Beaton's working on the debut album. Check them out;;

Yeah I also prefer not to listen to all the mainstream stuff but find other bands through myspace.

Erm at the moment I am into an American band called The Maine who I'm seeing on the 17th September woo!

Mark Owen-known me being in Take That but his solo career was overlooked and he wrote some brilliant songs.

Remi Nicole. Got her album last year and it was really good but her career didn't really take off..

I'm liking the sound of The Maine!

&I prefer Take That to Mark Owen alone, though 4 Minute Warning is good.

&Sam, I love Remi's version of Teenage Kicks :]

Don't like the first. In fact, I remember the artist posting it and couldn't handle the criticism. Bad attitude.
No music on the second so can't comment.
Haven't searched the other two yet.

I'll check those out David_Purdy.

I really like Dan Black (http://www.myspace.com/danblacksound) atm =] His cover of Hypnotize is brill, and samples Rihanna.

Ok, some Leicester bands.

Fishcake. For some reason all but one of their tracks have gone from the site.

http://www.myspace.com/fishcaketheband.

Maybeshewill. Instrumental band getting some good reviews. Excellent live as last nights show confirmed.

Tanacity? Experimental duo. currently working on other things.

http://www.myspace.com/tenaciousness

And finally,

Tired Irie. Destined for big things. EMI have tried to sign them. NME like them as does Steve Lemaq (sp)

Hadouken! are class ;)

[Benjamin]

Tegan & Sara!!!! Why are they never promoted in UK???? Every other country in world seems to have heard of them and likes them!!


'Walking With A Ghost' is a legend of a song, even The White Stripes Covered it (not as good as T & S version or anywhere near)



Also Alanis Morissette - Her new album 'Flavors of Entanglement' is a damn fine piece of music genius. Check them out before dissing them

I love Folas.

They are really popular and well known though lol.

[King Gizzard]

yeah foals had a massive following by indie kids summer of 2008 going into 2009 lol

I love their music, but they are terrible live

[Deirdre]

Oh I didn't know how popular they were! lol

[Deirdre]

Ah this girl isn't well known, Daisy Dares You. She's only 15 and from Essex. Hopefully she'll break through when she releases her debut single, Number 1 Enemy in February. Definitely worth a listen.

A band I have been listening to recently is Elbow. It is the band nobody had heard of that won loads of awards this year. I came across them on BBC 6 Music one night.

Station Approach

Dg1S-NQ4MX8

[Stu]

Elbow have been pretty massive since winning the mercury award in 2008. Good on them too, they were around for years but could never get commercial success.

[pinkmichk]

Bobby Long he is mostly known by association cos he friends with a certain mr pattinson and co-wrote with rob one of the songs on twilight soundtrack but he deserves a lot of credit on his voice which is beautiful rather than who his mate is i was lucky enough to see him perform in london in october
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVTib5rx9v8

[Ramsay]

yeah elbow are pretty amazing
i saw them this year at oxegen
a really good band the lead singer is a really nice dude it seems too

heard about her awhile ago, some of her stuff is really great.

anyway - Marina and the Diamonds. [it's just Marina really, the 'diamonds' are her fans.] She's beginning to gain popularity now, but I discovered her months ago. I think she's going to be big next year, I imagine she'll have some success off the back of 'Sound of 2010' type lists for which she is a shoe in.

my favourites of hers, Obsessions:
