Of course I knew it was an oxymoron, I was going to include it in parentheses but I found no just justification in doing so. They are a popular underground band, and I justify this by saying that though they aren't mainstream, they are well known in the rock community. Let me give a simple example:
Saetia and Fugazi are popular underground emo bands (because basically everyone who listens to underground emo WILL know them)
Trapdoor F**king Exit and Yfere are more obscure, I hope you understand the distinction.
I know where you're coming from about undeserving artists and bands obtaining more than their fair share, believe me, I understand that contradiction completely and am in utter abhorrence with it as well. But you honestly think that Maynard doesn't deserve it? Even his work with APC is amazing. The only side project I'd agree with you where he isn't at his best is Puscifer. Not too into it.
But dude, Brena still gives me chills... gimme gimme gimme is amazing. Sober is one of the best lyrically written songs. You have to give the man his props dude. He truly is an amazing artist.
