Up and coming bands that deserve success.
I thought I'd start a thread regarding up & coming bands that you guy's out their may know about and who you think deserve success!

A band that are truly original are the Beestings.
Heres a link to their site......Bee Stings

They released their self funded début album last year on their own record label (Councilpop Records) called Life by Misadventure.

Here's a video by them

YouTube - Bee Stings - Pressure (Running Away)

If this band don't make it big then there's no musical justice!

All the best.

Re: Up and coming bands that deserve success.
The Beestings are the standout act out of those 2 for me.

Heres my contribution, The Hot Puppies. They aren't really new on the scene but I expected them to be a massive hit in 2008 which sadly didn't happen. This is my fave track of theirs "the King of England" which had a bit of radio play but not massive amounts.

Re: Up and coming bands that deserve success.
I'm a big fan of The Whip - they've been aound for a couple of years now and their first album (released last year) 'X Marks Destination' is a cracker

This is a live version of Trash from D'Percussion in 2007

Re: Up and coming bands that deserve success.
Wow 2 great songs from a couple of bands worth looking out for!

What I like about a lot of bands at the moment is that they have a great 80's sound to them.

Steve I might have a couple of rounds of Killzone2 with you one morning this week. I'll send you a friends request on PSN.

There was some serious crap music in the 80s - let's hope these peeps don't end up going down that road.

True. But there was some great music that was produced in the 80's.

Re: Up and coming bands that deserve success.
I think Mary Bichner deserves success with her band Boxfive. Shes currently working on an album in between live shows.
I discovered Mary through Radiohead fandom in 2003.
YouTube - BOX FIVE - "Snow Hymn", Live on 02/12/09

Oh and this video explains her many musical talents, the grooviest being her synesthesia -
