Awesome, virtually unknown artists you've stumbled upon?

yungtomselleck · 01-23-2015, 01:13 AM

Im one of the few people who actually listen to twitter/facebook artists and scroll through youtube/bandcamp/soundcloud to find juicy nuggets of unknown glory. Maybe you guys can post some awesome little known artist? (Links to work/music videos would be helpful) Ill start:
CoolSwim: makes alternative rap, with crazy beats and topics. I love weird music and this kid speaks to my weird sense of taste. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7mqoliCcvWs
Neko Aijin: he got a few rap tapes that are pretty enjoyable, has a good ear for beats and makes alot himself. Also makes some cool chillwave style rap stuff and has a "trap music" alter ego which is hit or miss, but he has a nice instrumental chillwave inspired instrumental tape out. Good stuffs. https://nekosounds.bandcamp.com/album/dreamyy-artifacts
Skategod: makes enjoyable street type music. Good for car rides and catchy.

Any good hidden gems guys?

I think Porcelain Black is incredible, but for a pop act produced by RedOne she hasn't really been recognized as much as I would expect.

I don't mean to sound snobby, but Asking Alexandria, Machine Head and The Hives are among the most popular acts of the 2000s' rock scene, hardly unknown.

Found this psych rock power trio called Truth & Janey the other day that released a very unrecognized and underrated album called No Rest For The Wicked in 1976. They currently have under 5000 listeners on Last FM which is pretty remarkable considering the amount of time the record has had to float around online. For a band with production and songwriting skills this good their obscurity is kind of mysterious.

I never really listened to them. I just thought I would post them.

I get what you are saying.
