Criminally overlooked, except in Greece where they were huge apparently.
Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.
They make psytrance, it’s super popular in Israel, and in the general rave scene. Used to be waaay bigger in the 2Ks.
I find that their take on psytrance has a lot more going on than the usual rave stuff. Theyve been published a few times by Monstercat which shows that they fit more into this - for lack of a better word - “gaming” EDM.
Yeah I’ve had a couple tracks by them in my “to download” Spotify playlist for years. Fun sound but not for every occasion. “Project 100” is the track that put them on my radar.
I wouldn’t say they are underrated, just niche.

Mineral
Neither together anymore, although Mineral did play some reunion shows in 2019.
man, endserenading is such a good album
Metallica are decent enough
Mindless Self Indulgence. They are criminally underrated. Although their older stuff is better than the newer.
There was that one time that lead singer Jimmy Urine was accused of grooming, sexually assaulting, and molesting a 15-year-old girl, so that was kind of a thing.
Never heard that.
I’m an MSI listener and I am sorely aware of their problematic past. Are you a new fan by any chance? They wrote a paedophilic song (Panty Shot) and have used the N-word and F-word pretty liberally.
I consider liking their music to be a red flag tbh. I liked them as a teenager during my edgy phase but their music does absolutely nothing for me now
Same with Die Antwoord… people still listen to them?
Good for you.

Lmfao
I’m not sure if they count as underrated, but the band that immediately comes to mind is The Dear Hunter.
Gygax. D&D themed Classic rock group from former members of gypsyhawk. Each, EACH, damn song is a fuckin banger. Love Song of the Silversmiths particularly. Gygax- song of the silversmiths
Social Distortion has so many amazing songs and maybe 2 or 3 get rare airplay on the radio.
My first thought too. I can listen to their entire discography without skipping a single song. And they are even better live. Saw them a month ago and even after tonsil cancer Mike hasn’t slowed down a bit.
Punk isn’t dead, it just put on a dress and moved to Japan
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They’re an Australian psych rock band who experiment with a lot of different rock subgenres. They’ve put out a TON of albums in their short time together; all of them are fantastic, and each one is its own unique experience. They often have a narrative theme with each album, sometimes a singular story that goes across the entire album, or multiple albums. They’re hippies to their core, so a lot of psychedelic themes and songs about climate change and the oil industry. I used to not really care for psych rock that much, but these guys got me to appreciate it. I can’t recommend any one song or album to start with, but I definitely suggest jumping around their discography and just giving some things a listen. If you don’t like something, try another album; they’re all so unique that there’s a pretty good chance they have something you’ll enjoy.
I saw them live circa 2016, amazing band. Very energetic.
Lucky enough to be seeing them twice this year with Goose opening for them. Can’t wait. Check out Goose if you haven’t yet, their production quality is out of this world.
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard
They play in Vancouver and Whistler quite often. Often enough that they get play time on some college/small town radio stations, and often enough that when I used to catch them on the radio occasionally I’d go: huh…I wonder if this is that king givdbsjf band?
I disagree here because I don’t think they’re really underrated at all. They’re fantastic, and generally rated as fantastic by most people who’ve listened to them. Maybe they’re not as popular as they could be, but they’re still pretty darn popular.
