Underground is: any type of music that isn`t mainstream. I doubt you`d ever see "underground" music on MTV or hear it on a radio station.

I know music is about quality, but the only music I like just so happens to be underground.

What about you? Do you listen to underground?

If so, which bands?

//edit:

I`ll just name the first ones that come to mind: Brown Eyed Deception, Runaway Orange, Saosin, Cauterize, Sherwood, My American Heart, and The Snake The Cross The Crown.

Well, I like underground but not as much as a friend of mine named Crispy who's friends with some very underground bands...

some of my favorites are like, Sunday Driver, Big Collapse, The Interns, Rise & Shine... but that's prolly too underground

let's see...I like Rilo Kiley, Alkaline Trio, Minor Threat, Mars Volta, Death Cab For Cutie, Further Seems Forever, The Get-Up Kids, At the Drive in, and Jimmy Eat World...

.. those are not underground.

I listen to very few underground bands. Perhaps the only one is Deadstar Assembly, and they've appeared on MTV like.. once, I think? \= Meh. Lacuna Coil, perhaps.

hmm, i just posted my favorite bands in that other thread, some of which are slightly underground, such as american football, the appleseed cast, canterbury effect, commander venus, the decemberists, desaparecidos, the good life, matt pond pa, minus the bear, neutral milk hotel, onelinedrawing, ozma, the spill canvas, and sunny day real estate. there are others but i'm too lazy to type them out.

I'm not sure if they're underground, but...Capulet anyone?

Aidenn is too, I guess. :P

my current favorites are:

On Sale

and

A Stand At Vienna
^^after a short break-up, they're back together!

...just to name the least of it.
check them out if you can! they deserve it!

i listen to emo undergrounds n trance underground.

Hook me up with that trance! :D

emery, underoath? i dunno.

i don't listen to much underground, but my friend does and he passes those songs on to me. no particular ones at the moment to mention though.

does one inch wonder count? hehehe... if so, i guess i do listen then.

EMERY!!

underoath? um..not really undergroud but they're still GREAT.

Another one of my favorites is Daphne Loves Derby.

mtv2 on demand has all underground music, actually *shrug*

i enjoy it but i dont get to listen to it as much as id like as im rarely home alone, leaving me able to put music on. my mom has the computer centrally located so she can spy on me, which means little to no music, as ill disrupt them, and theyll distrupt me trying to figure out what im doing

i like daphne loves derby. hey, beni never made me a copy of their cd

Daphne Loves Derby is totally osmoe.

hehe yes i know!
they own your mother.

:O You like Lacuna Coil?! Anna, they are my favorite band. Deadstar rocks too. I'm so happy that this topic was made.

Well, I like

Lacuna Coil
Nightwish
Deadstar
Orgy
HIM (would be considered underground?)
Cradle of Filth
Dimmu Borgir

and much more :P

Oh, and by the way, a lot of your selections arent underground anymore kid0s

i wouldnt consider orgy as underground. they're all over the radio where i live.

Same thing with Cradle of Faith.

LACUNA COIL!

YAY! I'm surprised anyone's heard of them. You guys should go listen to Nightwish too :P.

awesome. I'll check them out right now. but first, what type of music do they play?

Recommend any songs?

i wouldnt consider HIM, cradle of filth, or orgy underground *shrug* the rest on your list i havent heard of, so they are, i suppose

Already listen to Nightwish, buddy. Awesome stuff.

National Crisis, Blackmarket Bodyparts, Billy Talent <- Not sure about that one, though. Eh...the rest are extremely local bands that no one outside of Pittsburgh would no of. Heh.

billy talent isnt underground...well at least they are in canada. They're HUGELY popular over there.

here, i've seen them on mtv2 or something...

Like I said, I wasn't sure. Nobody has heard of them over here...and people I've talked to outside of Pittsburgh haven't heard them, so I wasn't...positive.

exactly what i was thinking...they have been around forever yo ;)

i ordered more cds, so more bands to add!

death from above 1979, godspeed you black emperor, explosions in the sky, settlefish, broken social scene, pavement, the wrens, pinback, my bloody valentine, and sufjan stevens.

Hm, I've never heard of them..I should get out more. =x

i like sufjan stevens
some of the other bands ive heard of because i spent my entire weekend browsing mucis, but never got around to listening to

He is legend, Showbread, daphne loves derby, eisley, mewithoutyou, emery, haste the day, project 86, dead poetic, underoath (they used to be underground. but now they arent arg!!!), Copeland, cool hand luke, aireline, this is hell, watashi wa, acceptance, anberlin, beloved (they broke up ::cries::), at the drive in, kids in the way, further seems forever, david crowder band, the chariot, frou frou, mae, the lyndsay diaries, umbrellas, pedro the lion, plumb, sanctus real, thousand foot krutch, the beautiful mistake, zao, demon hunter, head automatica, hawk nelson, joy electric, lovedrug....lots of others but Im too lazy to type the rest.


I dont thing HIM and lacuna coil are underground or atleast they deff. arent here

hmm...not sure plumb and frou frou are considered underground, i thought they just werent particularly popular

james made me listen to eisley the other day- wasnt too impressed

wasnt that fond of lucuna coil either

at the drive in is so awesome. too bad they broke up, because sparta (which is believe is 3/4 atdi?) sucks.

mae isn't particularily underground though.. their cd is at target.

^^ yeah but alot of people havent heard of them. like ALOT ALOT or atleast not here. and yes at the drive-in is awesome!! haha yay!

anyways I decided to name some more:

Fine print, This painted red, Waltz for venus, DieLikeAbel and The belmonte academy.

Ah, they play metal. Operatic metal. Or.... even death metal.

yeah, i know of very few people who know of mae. ive never heard of anyone even mention them, but im sure some people have heard of them, since i have

I like the lyrics to Mae's songs. :3

I like mae's songs...hahaha
yes the lyrics are awesome!

[edit]
I also like still remains and october vacancy
and Extol

ooooh i like nightwish too XD

^^ ehh they are ok
they remind me of evanescence and iona put together

O-O.... They are nothing like Evanescence but *shrugs*. You just think the sound of women's voices is too.... similar in hard rock/metal.

yea, frou frou isn't so much underground just..not mainstream.
i love them though, so much.
i wish i could sing like her.

me too!!! i literally listened to let go 20 times last night. i had it on repeat. and then was too lazy to lean over and change the track. but thats alright, because its a nice song

recently i`ve been on victoryrecords.com and added songs on my ipod by these bands..

The Black Maria, Spitalfield, June, Underoath, and this band Count the Stars [ not from victory records ]. i listen to Unwritten Law but now they`re not really underground anymore since of MTV release.

um no....they actually sound like evanescence and iona put together.
like if those two bands merged.....they'd be like nightwish.
haha its not just cause the singer

i used tolisten to underground but not anymore

I like The Title Ceremony and This Painted Red

Not sure if these are underground, but they are metalcore, so yeah...

Children of Bodom, As I Lay Dying, Showbread, Summers End, Martyr D, All That Remains, Darkest Hour, Bleeding Through, Shadows Fall, Mantis, Mastadon, Scars of Tomorrow, The Agony Scene, Zao, and a lot more..but I doubt yall want to hear them.

^^^^^^ oooooooh yay showbread!!!

Teehee. They are from my town. Whoopidy whoop whoop!

^ arg you suck! hahaha not really
thats awesome. I wish they were from here.

I listen to
Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Creatures, Sisters of Mercy, Bauhaus
and some more
It seems like noone here has herd of them
