Bands You Probably Have Never Heard Of...

My first Topic on BBT so I thought I would try to make it interesting.

I was introduced to this band by my ex. She was born in Poland and saw these guys play in Krakow at a punk festival. It would have been around the mid/late eighties. She had purchased a single of theirs titled “Monuments”. I will never forget the moment I heard that song. If you are a Joy Division fan you will really dig these guys.

May I introduce to you, De Press. A Polish - Norwegian band, formed in Oslo.

Oh, and yes, they sing in English!

Cool idea for a thread. I've got a couple for you guys:

Schtum – an Irish band that had a very minor hit here in the states with a song called Skydiver back in '95:


The Murmurs – a female alt-rock duet, also from the mid-90s:


And yet another 90s alt-rock group, called Dig:


For Squirrels, one of my favorites. Sadly a couple guys in the band were killed in a car wreck right when they were on the verge of breaking big. This was the only song of theirs that got any radio play but the album it's from is excellent from start to finish:


And I have plenty more where these came from, but I'll save them for later so as not to hog the thread.

I've got a couple, ‘Ken Dodds Dads Dogs Dead’ and ‘Dicky Hart and the Pacemakers’

Magnifico is great! Thanks Johnny.

Mariachis in the Balkans! Great video. Read as much into the lyric as you want. Very nice!

Yes that's Philip Anselmo playing guitar, he went by Anton Crowley in Necrophagia. He played on an LP, Holocausto De La Morte, and 2 EP's: Cannibal Holocaust and Black Blood Vomitorium.

Hey it's definitely not for everyone, only reason I came upon them was because I had watched Cannibal Holocaust the previous week and wanted to find the main theme by Riz Ortolani but instead I found that song by Necrophagia.
