Undiscovered or Unsigned Feb. 8, 2012

There are many bands in the post hardcore/metalcore scene that are extremely good and have a lot of potential but do not get the recognition they deserve. This may be for a number of reasons. Reasons include not having many songs be released, being from an area that does not have a big support base for post hardcore/metalcore music or even just starting up and not being known yet. But the main reason a lot of great bands go unnoticed is because they are not signed to a big time record label or their record label does not do enough to promote them. Does this mean they are not good and shouldn't have people listen to them? Not at all. That is what this page is for. Below I will list 5 of my favorite undiscovered or unsigned bands including links to their Facebook pages and bands they are similar to. I will do one of these posts every single Wednesday so be sure to keep updated to this page if you're interested in finding new music weekly. This week I will be doing 5 unsigned bands.

Capture The Crown - This band is unsigned mostly due to the fact that they have only released one song and are from Australia. But from that song they have earned over 18,000 likes on Facebook and are becoming more and more popular every day. Trust me when I say that this band will be huge a year from now. Similar to Asking Alexandria.

Travelers - This band is similar to Capture The Crown due to the fact that they have only released one song, which is entitled If Only, If Only. This is my favorite song as of right now and anyone that likes post hardcore music will feel the same. This band was formed from the remains of Dawn Defeo who was also a fantastic post hardcore band. They are currently working on releasing more music for their fans. Similar to Woe, Is Me.

Jamie's Elsewhere - This band is different than the two previous bands because they have released an album and have been on numerous tours around the United States. They released their debut album entitled They Said A Storm Was Coming in 2010. They are currently touring the country and they have an acoustic EP entitled Reimagined which is set to be released February 14, 2012. Similar to Memphis May Fire.

The Paramedic - This band has released two EPs entitled The Devil In Me and If Seeing Is Believing. They have toured around the United States numerous times and by doing so are gaining more recognition and getting themselves out there. They plan to continue to release more music and tour more around the country and eventually get signed by a record label. The way they are going, it doesn't seem like anything will stop them. Similar to Make Me Famous.

Alive In Standby - This band has released an EP entitled Dream Status and is quickly gaining recognition from the music world. Their sound is a great mix of jazzy vocals and heavy screams. They have toured around the United States extensively since 2011 and are looking to make a name for themselves. This is another band I would look out for to become big very soon. Clean vocals similar to Hands Like Houses, unclean vocals similar to Asking Alexandria.
