    Has anybody heard of Attack Attack? It's a really good screamo band :)
    Brokencyde - it's some kind of hardcore band mixing hip-hop and screamo. Pretty good.

    I really like Headway. I heard them a couple of weeks ago at a One Republic gig, they were amazing.

    Hey everyone!
    I just got introduced to a band called Within Temptation, and they are totally awesome! They're a Dutch version of Evanescence and the singers got a really great voice... Check it out...
    These next two are my personal Russian favourites, and are totally awesome so I thought I'd share...
    -Philip Kirkorov (extremely famous Russian singer with a totally awesome voice. Check out his song 'Diva')
    -Blestachiye (all-girl quartet with very pop-y songs which are totally great to dance to)

    There are several other bands and artists in my mother tongue which I absolutly adore, and if you want me to add some more, let me know :)
    Hope you like 'em! :)

    I've heard of Within Temption too. Not many people here know them but my friend really likes them.

    Not sure how popular they are now, but before no one knew 3OH!3. I think they're starting to get popular now though, so I dunno.

    I don't think many people know The Matches or The Horrors but they're both really good. I love What Katie Said by The Matches a lot. And not just because my name is in the title. :p

    I love Within Temptation. First heard them a couple of years ago, but it took me ages to actually find one of their albums. I was surprised to find that not many people had heard of them.

    Also, I know Ash too, Shazza. Wouldn't say that I know their songs very well, but they were played from time to time on the radio station I used to listen to. I liked what I heard, though.

    Just flicking through this thread to see if there are any others I know...

    Oh, Sigur Ros. My friend introduced me to them a couple of months ago. They're good.

    Other ones that have been mentioned, that I know: Flogging Molly, Muse, The Enemy, Family Force 5, Feeder, Athlete, James Morrison, By The Tree, Primal Scream. (I was fairly surprised to see some of those bands here... but then, I have been surrounded with people with a very similar taste in music to me for the last two years. Now I'm at uni I'm discovering that not everyone knows the same bands I do...)

    Anyone heard of Frank Turner? He was the lead singer of Million Dead, now gone solo. I was introduced to him a year or so ago by a friend, but apart from her I've never met anyone who's really heard of him. His music is acoustic, and often very bitter. More of an acquired taste, really, but I like it.

    I've heard of Ash, Sugar Rios, Muse, The Enemy, Family Force 5, Feeder,and James Morrison. They're all pretty good but I don't listen to them, really. :p

    I don't think many people know of New London Fire, As I Lay Dying, Underoath or Atreyu, but they're also pretty good.

    Oh also: Leathermouth. [/shameless promoting for Frank :p] They're hardcore, though. Just warning you. :p

    Atreyu i've heard of... think my friend likes them

    Another 2 i found today on my list are The Ark and The Poodles. Both swedish pop bands/rock bands.

    The poodles are amazing they are a Glam Rock band who could have performed for eurovision but for me they are far to good for that.

    I got sent tehre Cd's from my godmother who's swedish and its music to make you happy.

    Ummm you may not know Lindsay Kane (a Christian singer/songwriter), but you may know who Tony Parker is. Did you know he raps? My French class does! But that's all I know...

    I looooove Hollywood Undead! My favourite songs are Black Dhalia, Everywhere I Go, City and California. Well, we can say I love the entire album :D Thir songs are good mixtures of hardcore and hip-hop.
