I figured that this would be a good way for people to expand the music they're listening to. Just post some bands that you don't think people on this site would have heard of, and maybe some facts and the genre so people can browse to their tastes a little more easily.

Karnivool - These guys are easily my favourite band and luckily they're starting to pick up some steam overseas after years of being fairly popular in Australia. They're prog. rock/metal and both albums are amazing (the first being a bit heavier). They also have some beautiful film clips and if any of you guys are drummers the second album is like ear porn.

I Mother Earth - I'm not too sure how popular these guys were/are, but I'm only going by the last album they did, quicksilver meat dream, which was absolutely amazing. They got a new singer for that album and completely changed from being psychedelic/fusion to more Alt. Rock, which was a real improvement imo. Definitely worth listening to if you're into that sort of stuff.
