Without JAGging if possible?
I'm not going to immediately answer this myself 'cos most unknown bands I've seen and liked I've then offered gigs to, and then plugged on DiS and thus making them invalid for this thread. I might think of someone later though.
So, anyone else?
Laddio Bolocko
I mentioned them once but nobody responded.
no wonder,
with a name like that
:p
frustrating though
as I know some people off here would totally bum them if only they knew how good they were.
I've only heard Goat Lips
that a mate put on a compilation recently. However, it's amazing and I plan to investigate further!
Read wikipedia description
Threw up in my mouth.
Interesting.
I like Dazzling Killmen, I may give them a listen.
Darren Hanlon
He's been mentioned on the forums, but only by me. Does that count? Everyone should have a listen to his beautiful wonderful songs.
linkage...
Do yourself a favour!

Really quite good.
Shit

Oh I see
...your ears aren't working. Either that or you have a different opinion to me.
Dealership
They're great! I can't even remember how I first heard about them (onionavclub about 7 years ago I think) but they're songs are fantastic, particularly their debut EP.

If you haven't heard the song You're Dumb then I recommend you listen right away.
http://dealerkids.com/_mp3/Dealership_(You%27re_Dumb).mp3
This is no jagging, that's just one of my favourite songs of all time.
Alright
Not really my thing. A bit twee.
Agree with the twee comment
Perhaps moreso on this song than most. I still think they're a really good example of the genre though.
This one's a great one, if only for the fact that the opening line is "You and I have to get out of Steven's way", what with me being Steven and all:

Umm... Cats and Cats and Cats?
For some reason, I only got round to checking them out the other day, but I thought they were brilliant.
Cats and Cats and Cats come up loads (or certainly used to)
Maybe less so recently...
Oh
I completely misread the thread title. I lose :(
Ah, I worked out after I'd posted that.
To be fair the title is open to misinterpretation...
I played with these
at the water rats not so long ago, with tellison. cats x3 are reeeeally good.
^They always get mentioned?
Ad even posts on here.
Silent Alliance
this thread also applied to mumford and sons until today.
i've never seen pants yell! get a mention either actually
The Snake The Cross The Crown
I've never once heard them mentioned on here, but they're such a brilliant band.
i like this band
Dog Fashion Disco
but i always advise people to pick up Anarchists Of Good Taste for pittance on amazon because it's AMAAAAZING
^I <3 this band..
..and especially this album. It's reviewed on this site actually if anyone's interested.
Medulla forgot to mention that it's a mix between Mike Patton, old school S.O.A.D and a night out at the circus.

GREAT
Holly Miranda
www.myspace.com/hollymirandahollymiranda
Really, I implore all of you to check her out. The cover of Elliott Smith's 'Between the Bars' she does with Scott Matthew (not Scott Matthews) is absolutely stunning.
Also, Josh Goldberg
King of lo-fi, punky, wrestling-obsessed garage rock. Whole album is available for free from his MySpace: http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=87207485&blogID=353329269
Hyperbubble
They're on the Filthy Little Angels label and they're this awesome synth-pop duo.
All I know is
They did a slightly mental cover of Tonight We Fly and I rather enjoyed it.
didnt like it
she's got an unusual voice but that not great.
Didnt like scott's bit either - over the top.
madeleine peyroux beats all with covers of that song.
Did you listen to any of the original material?

Cheap Hotel.
Well, if i mention them
they will have been mentioned, and so.....
it's like schrodinger's cat.
open the box, open the box.
anyway

Deer Tick
a great band not that famous but it is well known enoth 2 be mentioned here it just hasent
Deer Tick has been mentioned here lots
well im new
,..............Damn
Clearlake
Bizarrely overlooked, one of Britain's finest indie bands (on a par with Elbow and Doves at the very least). A band who specialise in making the mundane magical.
'Don't Let the Cold In' - one of the most powerful songs about not wanting to wake up you'll ever hear. The lyrics are devastating, and the dischordant guitars in the bridge that signify the jarring, alien sound an alarm clock is to your ears in the morning is a brilliant touch.
Clearlake have been mentioned
I've posted about them several times, and although good they are really not as good as Elbow.
colditz glider
do an awesome line in mathy jaggy post-rock stuff that doesn't outstay it's welcome. Never seen them mentioned here. For fans of battles, youthmovies, tortoise ect.

In a similar vein
We Are Knives from Belfast - www.myspace.com/theweareknivestrio
Some other great Irish bands (excluding And So I Watch You From Afar who have had some attention) -

Giveamanakick (grimy alt rock - Jesus Lizard, mclusky etc) - www.myspace.com/giveamanakick
Simon Drinkwater
He's a chap local to Falmouth, saw him for the first time last week supporting Julia Kent, and he was incredible. Wish I'd been able to afford the EP, but listen at www.myspace.com/minkwater1
How famous is famous?
I never / rarely hear any love for Throwiing Muses on here which baffles me.

Locust Cloud (3 pice folk band)
Josh Bowker (funky Psychedellic folk)
The Adam Brown
Timesbold
JAGA JAZZIST

actually upon further listening,
high places are absolutely fantastic
www.myspace.com/hellohighplaces

Pretentious

pretentious*

Unhappy childhoods?
arg

these monsters
They get mentioned, but not enough in my opinion.
Mono In VCF
Awesome band. Kind of a dreamy sixties crossed with eighties kitchen sink film noir style psychedelic pop.
Released one of my favourite albums of last year.
http://www.myspace.com/monoinvcf
and
http://www.monoinvcf.com/
woah

Yeah, they're alright
A little dull.
The New Lows!

Weeknights <3
Yeah nobody ever mentions that band that Paul Hawkins fronts
and it is making me question the collective wisdom of this forum
ftw
There's no hidden agenda here!
I get mentioned about as much as I deserve. And occasionally I'm not even the one mentioning me ;)
Untitled 1961
I'm pretty sure there are a great number of people on here that would love them with their massive crunchy funny time sigs and epic song structures...
Also:
Notorious Hi-Fi Killers (a bit Part Chimp, a bit Kyuss, a bit 13th Floor Elevators)
The Bridport Dagger (folky, rockabilly, yelping and cupbaords - should really be on Stolen, but they're not yet.)
The Adam Brown
The Late Greats
Charlie and the Ketamen
Crane Brothers
I saw The Late Greats supporting Born Ruffians
and they were fucking awful.
are
they a Wilco tribute band??
.
I have mentioned Lady and the Lost Boys on here a number of times.
Someone else made a thread about them and that got no replies as well.
www.myspace.com/ladyandthelostboys
Bailter Space
Sad Shields
make me hott.
Ross Clark
Although i did actually just mention him on another thread about 5 minutes ago, but its pretty much the first time i've seen his name here i think.

Larsen B
Marilyn rules over all the singles this year so far!
http://www.myspace.com/wearelarsenb
^This

Nobody on here has mentioned
Abram Wilson

Shitty Beatles
you cryptic b*st*ard
I found you. I swear I haven't been looking this whole time, I was doing some work.

:D :D
I never miss a Wayne's World quote
UNDERSTAND?
Royter and the Hatfoods.
We Are Standard....
from the basque country, Spain! Saw them at SxSW and they were the standouts for me!
I don't think I've ever seen any real love for
Teenage Cool Kids, The John Spinnaker Project (who've split anyway)or To Kill a Petty Bourgeoisie.
Which is strange as they've all released great things in the last year or so.
Minnaars
sometimes I laugh at my own jokes
team brick?
edward j hicks?
revenge of shinobi?

The Deadly Syndrome

My favourite new band for the past year or so:
Revere - www.myspace.com/reverelondon
Incredible live band, check them out :-)
Renee Heartfelt.
I've mentioned them a few times, they're massively emo. Split up now. 1 of them is in Memorial who I really like.
www.myspace.com/reneeheartfelt
www.myspace.com/memorialband
oh my
this is good. Thanks.
Tompaulin? (although sadly split)
i guess they put out a couple of records and did a Peel session. (Does that mean they were famous?)
Also The Tenderfoot, who are overlooked in that whole closed-shop Brighton scene.
