Anyone listen to underground? Options

[nightsong]

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.

saddle creek bands (desa, good life, faint) aren't that underground.. the faint is on mtv2 pretty regularly i believe. i've heard so much about the blood brothers over the past year, i'm going to check them out this weekend.

Saosin isn't too underground; they've recently had their video played on FUSE. Granted, not MTV, but that's definitely not underground. But I've loved them forever now.

some underground i listen to:
i would set myself on fire for you
the mercury project
the snake the cross the crown
cue the doves
monday in london
the belles
a silver mt. zion
explosions in the sky
He Is Legond
The Receiving End of Sirens
mm yup.

explosions in the sky is awesome. so is saosin, i downloaded a bunch of their stuff about a year ago since i couldn't find their ep anywhere. and i'm pretty sure i've listened to a silver mt. zion, if i'm correct that that is the side project of the guy who started godspeed you black emperor.

Yeah, I've been heavily into Saosin now for the past two years, all of us old kids are waiting for the new LP since it's been forever.

A Silver Mt. Zion is definitely a side project from gyb!e.
