I’ve been looking for some new music to listen too lately. Specifically lesser know “underground” music. Give me your suggestions on some good underground artists that you think are really good, or some lesser known songs that you think deserve to be more popular. Any genre.

Planetary People - Transmissions, Vol. 2

Immortal Technique - Revolutionary, Vol. 2

Eyedea & Abilities - E&A / First Born / The Many Faces of Oliver Hart

Face Candy (Eyedea’s experimental improv jazz group) - This is Where We Were

Zappa - The Best Band You Never Heard In Your Life

Secret Sisters - Saturn Return

Joe Robinson - The Prize / Borders

Pat Metheny - Bright Size Life

Lettuce - Rage / Outta Here / Fly / Live in Tokyo / Unify / Crush

Snarky Puppy - Family Dinner Vol. 2 / We Like It Here

Andy McKee - Art of Motion / Dreamcatcher

Malte Marten - Lifeline

Yatao (Malte’s Duo) - Osmosis

Niacin - High Bias

The Fearless Flyers - Self Titled

Cory Wong - Cory & The Wongnotes

That should keep you busy for a while.

The majority of the bands featured on this list are underground and underrated. List is manually sorted

I'll take you on your word for "any genre":

Elyvilon - A Hunger to Carry Off Flocks (Finnish folk/dungeon synth - best to listen to the album in full, but this song is really cool, and look at that incredible album art!)
Black Wing - Twinkling (post-punk/post-rock)
Autumn's Grey Solace - Forgotten, Fossilized, Archaic (dreampop/ethereal wave)
Clouds - If These Walls Could Speak (atmospheric doom metal)
Holy Fawn - Death Is A Relief (heavy, atmospheric shoegaze)
Hedy West - Little Sadie (Appalachian traditional murder ballad)
Esben and the Witch - No Dog (dark unconventional rock from a post-rock band)
Sylvaine - Nowhere, Still Somewhere (blackgaze)
Show Me a Dinosaur - Sunflower (blackgaze/post-rock)
Heretoir - Golden Dust (blackgaze, but very warm-toned - the song itself sounds golden)

Cobra Man - Bad Feeling, Bru-C - hideout, Park Hye Jin - Like This, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Tapes & Money, Dawn Rell - On A Wave, Blood Sucking Zombies from Outerspace - Dr.Freudstein, The Hillbilly Moon Explosion - My love for evermore, The Clash - Rock The Casbah (Ranking Roger). Last one is a really different and good cover that the clash actually chose to host on their Spotify. Hope something lands! It’s a bunch of different genres.

Diiv, Herzog, Pinkshinyultrablast.

Or just check out my spotify. I don't sort by genre but by year, but about 90% of the groups I use are lesser to completely unknown indie/alternative rock bands.
