[Music] The best band that nobody has ever heard of

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

That's how they have been called. Handful of Snowdrops. I may have started a thread about them before. Bollocks. Who cares. Nobody trawls my music threads unless they want to.

Here goes then, this from a few years ago. Absolute pure magic.

Polysics, if you like Devo and a lot of their stuff is like Krautrock.

Talking of Clan of Xymox......mmmmmm..they actually did a Peel session back in the 80s and are still going. Elegant goth.

Excellent! Sounds great. Never heard of them. Will check them out properly later.

Asylum Party. More 80s gorgeousness (this time French and I gues an early example of coldwave).. Made quite a few albums. Singer died a year ago, sadly.

One of my brothers introduced me to this incredible band. Delicate songs that open into a wall of sound. Cheers, Dave

You couldn't hope to hear two more different tracks by one artist. Saw his first gigs in the UK many years ago. Brilliant lyrics.

Previously Jefferson Airhead, but I believe they got taken to court and had to drop Jefferson. Great song though

Sounds like an alternative upbeat theme tune to Brookside!

Lucky Boys Confusion.

The amazing 'disco orcs' as Mrs T calls them. Here remixed by another favourite of ours. I've seen them both but Mrs T hasn't, to her annoyance, especially as we had tickets to see them a couple of weeks ago

And here SPA remix Lebabon Hanover. Check out the dancing. And the lyrics

And a bit of pure unadulterated SPA. Check out the Disco Orcs. One of the best live acts I've seen. And me, at my age

This thread is tailor made for HWT and I fully expect him to be swamping it with his best bands, all 1,000,000 of them, that nobody has heard of!!!

An exquisite, simple guitar, bass and drums band from America. I do love a weak voiced singer.
