You might of heard of them, but David Bowie did a song that most people havnt heard of called Under Pressure with a very obscure indie band called Queen

I kind of like Jack Conman (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh8oZ-4FEueVtZxAYevxhCQ). He's got an interesting voice and mad guitar skills, but he hasn't gotten much publicity.

I can't tell if you're serious or just being super sarcastic

They're pretty popular in Australia, but here yMyz8xVp8-s Sticky Fingers are still little known. Awesome reggae-dub-indie-chillout-rock

I'm 99.999999999999999999% sure he's sarcastic, no-one says super obscure indie band unironically.

They're massive bands! 2 of the most well known female-fronted bands in the rock scene other than Evanescence xD

Urm, I don't really listen to underground bands but a couple that are a little more unknown:
The Defiled
Ashes Remain
The One Hundred
I Prevail
Battlecross

Ehhh, yeah I usually stick with the mainstream stuff.

True, but they are pretty underrated compared to other rock bands.

Anarchy Club, The Mars Volta, We Are Harlot(don't know this counts because they're a super band, but they don't have much recognition)

Was gonna post Nothing but Thieves here! How do you know them?
Royal Blood is actually relatively well known though, I think.

I know them from listening to a radio station called Triple J. They tend to play less mainstream music and try to focus on uncovering lesser known bands. I think you're right about Royal Blood though.

Sounds cool! I know them because they were a supporting act at a concert I was thinking of going to. Now they are one of my favorite bands and they've actually grown quite a lot in the time I've known them.

Some people won't agree, but Twenty One Pilots. They're one of the most popular bands that don't have any advertisements or anything yet they still have sold out shows.

I loved Silversun Pickups a while ago but I have seen them on the radio recently so I am not sure how "underrated" they are.
