Some that I think should be wayy more popular than they currently are:

  • Jukebox the ghost
  • aimee mann
  • V.A.S.T
  • Prefab sprout
  • Ivy
  • Passion pit
  • Placebo
  • The war on drugs
  • tokyo police club
  • Stars
  • The dismemberment plan

I'm not familiar with most of these but I drove 2 hours to see Jukebox the Ghost play in the second story of a church when I was like 19, and Stars is probably my number one favorite band, so I may have to check out some of your other entries here.

Edit: The Jukebox the Ghost show was really cool btw, they wouldn't let them do an encore in the upstairs part of the venue but they agreed to let the keyboardist do a solo encore on the church's organ on the first floor.

I saw them twice live, they're so good. Not many bands have the same optimism and energy as they do.

Probably, I don't know how I found them but I grew up in the 90s and 00s and never heard of them.
