Metric - kickass canadian band that nobody I know has ever heard of but I saw the singer from Billy Talent wearing their t-shirt on MuchMusic the other day.

[S.E. Hardy]

I was really into Rooney before their record came out. I'd seen them play in tiny clubs around town a few times and thought that they were really great. But their album is just so fucking polished, not at all how they sounded live. I still like them, but not nearly as much.

Sparta and At The Drive in are the same band?? I never knew that...

[THE MAN]

Kyuss is still the best underground band ever. It was the band Josh Holmes was in before QOTSA. They were late 80's early 90's and were so ahead of the times. The singer sounds like maynard from Tool and they play heavy metal. "I'm not" is my favorite song by them.

[Ravenous Yam]

KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS KYUSS!!!!!

 

Agreed. Kyuss is awesome. It would benefit everyone to listen to this amazing band.

 

I don't know if this counts as underground, but Porcupine Tree are amazing too. Very inventive prog-rock English band.

Check out:

Trains

Collapse the Light into Earth

Russia on Ice

Don't Hate Me

Blackfield

Heartattack in a Layby

[Ruettiger]

Porcupine tree is GOOD

another song to check out; The Rest Will Flow.

Also to add some more songs:

Gravity Eyelids

The Sound of Muzak

Wedding Nails

Blackest Eyes

 

That is all.
