I thought this would be an interesting topic to spark some discussion. What are some bands you feel that you are alone in liking on this forum?
These are some bands that I've never really seen mentioned in any thread, or when I've brought them up for one reason or another, I've gotten no response/comment about them. So in this thread, post any bands that fit this description for you, and if another user posts a band you listen to, let them know! If you feel like it, give a description of each band you list; maybe some people can pick up some new music out of this thread as well (my descriptions rambled on a bit because I'm bored, but oh well).
CKY: Despite their relation to Bam Margera and all his goofyness, this is a pretty solid band. I would call them experimental modern rock. They have a pretty unique sound. I recommend Infiltrate Destroy Rebuild. It's a really solid album. A pretty quick listen as well, but a good ride.
Cosmosquad: A three-piece fusion project that incorporates a lot of different styles into their music. Jeff Kollman is one of my favorite guitarists (he changes in and out of #1); he has a unique style and really emotive solos. Check out their live album Live at the Baked Potato to see what they're all about.
Edguy: German power metal at its best. Their vocalist is one of my favorites (and I usually don't like power metal vox). Most of their music is serious, but usually every album has one or two less serious, fun loving songs. Check out Rocket Ride; I think it's their best CD.
I Am Ghost: They're a gothic punk rock band with some hardcore influence, and before you skip reading the rest of this, I suggest giving them a chance. Their second album, Lover's Requiem, is a great album. At that time, they were a six piece, and had a girl in the band that played violin, piano, and sang. I usually hate female vox in metal, but I love these ones. The album is a themed album, relating to vampires and stuff like that.. if you can look past that (for the people that just went eww), you might like it. The songwriting is great, and includes a lot of cool stuff to keep it interesting.
Misery Signals: Their a modern hardcore band, but their music is pretty technical and includes a lot of odd meters (most of which fly by you; they can be hard to count). I saw them live when they opened for Protest the Hero, and they put on a great show. If you like modern metal and can tolerate growls/screams, you will probably like them. Check out their newest album, Controller.
Rx Bandits: A band that started out more as punk, but evolved into more of a ska-rock group. I recommend their album The Resignation. It varies in style from punk, to reggae, to ska, to progressive rock. Throw in some odd meters and catchy songwriting and you have a great album.
Story of the Year: This band kind of got caught in the big hardcore/screamo/whatever movement back in the early 2000's. Their first album fit into that sound, but their others branch out into a broader rock sound (but maintain a punk influenced background). Check out In the Wake of Determination. I think it's their strongest album; the songwriting is good, the vocal melodies are great to sing along to, and there's even a few songs with unusual meters thrown in.
