I'm looking for good bands you never hear on the radio.
Any suggestions?

Well first of all what genre(s) are you looking for? I could probably recommend some (real) screamo shit but you might hate it.

I'll start it off with Fucked Up - in my opinion they are one of the best modern hardcore bands.

The Avett Brothers are sweet if you want some folky/punky/rocky stuff..I don't even know how else to describe them, they also have a sort of blue grass/country feel to them.

Keeping with blending genres The Gaslight Anthem from New Jersey do a phenomenal job blending punk with pretty much every other guitar based genre into an amazing new sound. They are also some of the best song writers imo and are definately a band to look out for in the next couple years.

hmmm - some stuff thats pretty easy to find that most people knowww...:

Bright Eyes - some indie acoustic stuff by an amazing musician

Bayside - Rock/Alternative/Punk bordering emo but they're pretty solid and have had my ear for a while

thats all i can think of as of right now

thanks, i loved pretty much all of them
where do you find out about these bands?

btw its punk/blues/acoustic

I find a lot of good bands just through their associations with other bands. For instance their top myspace friends, or the thank you section of a cd. If you want bands from a specific genre or similar to other bands you can also ask around music message boards for recommendations..or just going to shows helps too :P

And books for the older stuff

Pretty popular, but amazing.. Minus the Bear. Everything they do is amazing. Their guitarist, Dave Knudson, was in Botch if you listened to them before they broke up.

Also, completely underappreciated - Murder By Death. They just dropped their 4th full length called Red of Tooth and Claw. Check it out, it's incredible.

if you want some current pop punk bands of right now i would say check out.

Four Year Strong
Daggermouth
No Trigger

aah they has a song called "comin' home" i r confused
