Best Bands That Have Not Gotten Proper Publicity

The Top Ten
1 The Birthday Massacre The Birthday Massacre is a Canadian dark wave and synth rock band currently consisting of Chibi (vocals), Rainbow (guitar), Falcore (guitar), Owen (keyboard), Rhim (drums) and Nate Manor (bass), that formed in 1999 (even though the 2016 demo collection "Imagica" dates some tracks back at 1998). Originally known as Imagica, The Birthday Massacre is known for their playfully macabre and spooky tone, often created through the contrast of happy and upbeat melodies and dark and sinister lyrics. The band often uses primal fears, such as hearing footsteps, being afraid of monsters hiding under the bed and twisting innocent fairy tale motifs into something morbid. ...read more.

Had never heard of them a year ago... now they are never far from my cd player. Some great songs, either uplifting or morbid depending on your mood. Lover's End, Red Stars, Pins and Needles, Looking Glass...

amazing band, and doesn't get much credit

They are one of the best bands ever,

2 Breaking Benjamin Breaking Benjamin is a American post-grunge/alternative metal/rock band formed in 1998. The bands members all changed in the time between 2010 to 2014, with the exception of Ben Burnley (Vocals). The Ex-Members included Chad Szeliga (Drums), Aaron Fink (Guitar) and Mark Klepaspi (Bass). The band is one of the most well-known bands of its genre and is associated with its electronic sounds in their songs and overall technicality. After the release of their second album "We Are Not Alone", the band gained a lot success in Europe and Asia.

I have thought for years that Breaking Benjamin didn't get enough credit for all of their epic songs! My friends told me I was crazy but now I know that I was right for sure. BREAKING BENJAMIN ROCKS MY SOCKS!

Breaking Benjamin always have such a strong message behind all of their songs; it is ridiculous how underrated they are for what they do

4 Tiamat

They are so far most accurate and creative band I've come across.
This Swedish group I think are very underrated because of not much of publicity. Just try their numbers like 'church of tiamat, cain, the sleeping beauty, the temple of the crescent moon, thirst snake, summertime is gone, brighter than sun' And many more and you'll know what they're really capable of. Enjoy!

None of the bands here deserve to be on this list but Tiamat.
Someone once called them 'the most famously brilliant unknown band'.

5 Evanescence Evanescence is an American alternative rock/alternative metal band. It was founded in Little Rock, Arkansas, in 1995 by singer/pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody.
6 Black Stone Cherry

Glad to see more people are listening to them now. Heard them first from a recommendation on itunes and instantly fell in love with the track 'blind man'. All their songs are great. They sound like a proper southern rock band and nothing like other music from the 21st century

They make the best songs sing about proper problems listen to all I'm dreamin of is no fears no tear... Sorry got carried away there that's how awesome they are

Awesome band with great singing and equally fantastic and well written lyrics with interesting guitar work. THEY DESERVE TO MASSIVE

Basically creed but with a new singer, but that singer is myles kennedy who has, in my opinion, the best voice in rock. Epic songs that have great melody but are still heavy-my favourite band.
