Mainstream but still Underground...

[Avalon]

Does anybody here know any bands that are mainstream but seem underground? I just started listening to Chevelle and Cirrus. I thought they just came out but people told me that they were old bands...hmm, how shocking...;)

Most rock bands I listen to, I had never heard of myself, but that's probably because I had never been the biggest rock fan until now. Among the most notable were Korn and Limp Bizkit, but that was years ago when I was first introduced to them.

yay, my 500th post.

Chevelle used to be on Squint Records which may not be mainstream but is a very well known "christain" record label.

Jimmy Eat World is a perfect example. They've been making records since 1994 and just now they start getting a little attention, but still not quite enough so that everybody knows who they are.

I remember old jimmy. They have four discs out and they get credit for only one.

Good ole' Jimmy Eat World. One of my favorite bands. Didn't I introduce them to you Nimrod? Or made you relize it was them who sang some songs you knew?

[Semjaza]

I'm not sure what you mean by this... Bands that are doing well, but are still unknown to most people? Bands that are signed to bigger labels, yet aren't big themselves?

I find that most everyone knows who Jimmy Eat World is.
