The great undiscovered youtube music thread of 2011

[farawaysaint]

Rather than having us all listen to the dross peddled on the radio now I thought it might be fun for us to showcase some great unknown talent that each of us truly enjoy to listen to. So I challenge you all to scour you tube for a couple of songs from bands you enjoy that haven't quite managed to take off on the big stage for whatever reason. Who knows with all of us trying we may actually find a couple of gems worthy of the ole itunes, I'm sure the bands could use the beer money after all I'll get you all started off with a few genres, why not after all?

 

Let me start us off: Allstarfunk four

[funk] very similar sound to beastie boys oddly enough

: Hog hoggidy-hog

[punk/ska]

: Goldfish

[dance/electronica] simply brilliant, dance group. Locally huge but I don't think they're known in Britain.

Finally : The narrow

[heavy metal] (I admit I'm pushing it with this one as they've toured Europe fairly extensively but damnit I knew em before they were famous )

Goldfish are quality. Saw them in Pacha once and been listening to them since!

[trousers]

Southampton's finest...
