Who is your favorite not well known band?

[LeftOfSelf-Centered]

65. Most of my favorite bands are fairly unknown.

I can give you a whole laundry list, but I'll try to be brief:

My favorite band now for nearly twenty years is The Wildhearts. You can't really pin them down genre wise, they mix pop, punk and metal into something that sounds like neither, but musically makes perfect sense (at least to me).

Here they go from screamy heavyness to total poppy melody:

Or their catchier side:

In '94 CJ, the second guitarist of the band was fired (he has since returned, the bald guy in the video above), and he formed a band with Willie Dowling called Honeycrack (terrible name, I know, makes them look like they're 14 years old). Three guitars, five voices, incredibly catchy stuff. Unfortunately they only published one album, but it was a gem.

I got plenty more, but I don't want to monopolize the thread.
