For example, i have been recruiting music from myspace and have heard some really good stuff from artists i can pretty much promise you have never heard of...

Got any favorites out there? Bands that maybe you feel only you know about?

hehe I know lots of underground metal bands I'm sure no one around here knows about.

I visit a place called Musician Forums, and there are some users there who put out a lot of good home recordings. One such guy goes by the name metaljonus, and everything he does is just gold. He's an amazing guitar player with a good ear for arrangement. And he kind of has a trademark, that being his use (or overuse if you want to look at it that way) of harmonization. And when he harmonizes his sweep patterns...*drool*.

http://www.myspace.com/metaljonus. Check out Arpeggios of Destruction

On a more professional level, I listen to this ska/punk band called The Aquabats. They're not underground, but they're also not that huge. The thing I like about them is their songs are humourous, but not crude, and they wear these crazy outfits. They just make fun music. It's impossible for me to be in a bad mood when I listen to them.

recently stumbled across a song by "juliette and the licks" the band that the actress juliette lewis sings(and writes lyrics) for.Thought it would be crap when i heard about them,but am actually pretty impressed with what I`ve heard so far.Also have heard that they put on an intense show.

Want to help me recruit? I use myspace to talk with these up and coming artists. I have already received a few CD's from people and really want to build fanhost music into something good.

A band from Boston called, "Gone 'Til November." I love their music! Also, a girl named Mandi Perkins is really good...they both can be found on myspace. I don't know if the guys here like that kind of music...but their good!

Sure. What do I do, and...could you explain in more detail what exactly you are doing?

Ahhh, underground music, some good **** if you look.

The Like - Awesome girl band, great indie rock/pop sound.

Andrew Bird - Easily some of the best and most original pop music I've heard.

Converge - Some serious metal, lead singer's style is unlike anything else I know.

Meh, can't think of more right now, maybe later.
