It doesn’t happen often. But every now and again, by pure accident, I’ll stumble onto some obscure band that kicks ass. Rock music is such a niche genre these days and I feel like the best stuff is wallowing in obscure local scenes. Post your own discoveries here and tell us why these unheralded rock bands deserve a listen.

I’ll start. It occurred to me today that “The Jobbers” would be a good band name. For those who don’t follow wrestling, that’s a term for the lame wrestlers whose whole job is to lose to the better, more popular stars. So I searched to see if anyone beat me to the punch and indeed, there’s a band out of Brooklyn that goes by “Jobber.” And they fucking rock. Here’s a sample off of their first EP released this past fall:

It kind of reminds me of Liz Phair, with the vocals, guitars, and unorthodox song structure. Anyway, I’m hooked and I hope they release more stuff. 

Now it’s your turn.

The band out of the broader scene I grew up in that I always loved the most was Ethan Durelle. Mostly a Waco band, which might be part of why they.... loomed large to me and had a great crowd but never seemed to break out anywhere

One of the best kickass bands of the 2000s. Maybe they didn't WANT you to know about them. Hmmm...
