So do you guys know any great new bands, known or on the cusp of fame, that you'd suggest others to be on the lookout for? Or that you totally love and think they deserve to be bigger? Maybe leave a link or something so other people can check them out.

I'll start. I just came across these bands that many may not know but are definitely worth listening to:

Hotpress for Leopold - www.myspace.com/hotpressforleopold
These guys are just amazing. They use a spectrum on instruments accompanied by catchy tunes that keep me wanting more. I'm always tapping along to the beat. Absolutely love their song "Torturer"! This song has everything going for it - the beat, the tunes, the whole vibe. Can't wait to hear more from them.

HUMANLAB - /www.myspace.com/humanlab
Love their whole beach vibe and how they're all about the love. They make for perfect listening on those lazy summer days when all you want to do is just chill or when you're cruising down the highway with the windows down. Fave song is has to be "Praises"! So relaxing...

So now it's your turn to share!

Well these bands are famous but still not everyone knows them.... but i do and i like them a lot :)

Thanks guys! I also want to add Katie Kerkhover. She's not really a band but she sings with a band. anyway she covers joan jett's song "bad reputation" and does a pretty kickass job at it! very impressive. :)

well if ur into pop music check out Jada, they are pretty good

I love the new music video by Ten Second Epic feat. Lights. The surprise ending is cute.
