I think 36 Crazyfists were underrated. They sort of made it, but never really got huge. I also think their music only got better and their last 2 albums were amazing.
Wow i haven’t thought about that band in like a decade
I absolutely love this specific sound.
Foreign Hands is a new band that comes close.
Not sure underrated, but Swans is fantastic. Brutal, oppressive, horrifyingly beautiful sound.
Big Thief is the pure opposite, it’s like a comforting hug and warm coffee.
Petrol Bastard.
They call themselves ‘Tesco Value Prodigy’, yet when I see them put out tracks like these, I’m surprised they don’t have much of a following.

Blackberry Smoke is nowhere near as big as they should be.
Seeming
They’ve been getting a lot of attention in Canada but “The Beaches” have been my jam lately
Oh hell yeah. The Beaches are great! I wasn’t crazy about their latest album, but the three albums before that are all fantastic! I’ve seen them in concert 3 times!
Same here!
Although I do love “Blame Brett”
The God Machine. They were a shoegaze band from the early 90s. Sadly, one of the three members died, so they never got big.

Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.
I wouldn’t say they are underrated, just niche.
I find that their take on psytrance has a lot more going on than the usual rave stuff. Theyve been published a few times by Monstercat which shows that they fit more into this - for lack of a better word - “gaming” EDM.
My favorite underrated band is Red Hot Rebellion.
My top three favorite songs of theirs are For the Benefit of Evil, You Bring The Thunder, I’ll Bring The Lightning, and Crushing It.

Spoon is an awesome band that mostly flies just below the radar while still quietly releasing awesome records. They have been active since the 90s and they don’t have a single bad album.
Anathallo
Mineral
Neither together anymore, although Mineral did play some reunion shows in 2019.
man, endserenading is such a good album
I’m more partial to The Power of Failing, but I’ll take any Mineral. Did you see the two new songs they released for the 25th?
I’m not sure how to look up ratings of bands. There are some I love but did not seem to be well known enough for comparing ratings.
I’m going to mention Filthy Children as an example.
My kids taught me to look at subscriber counts on a streaming service to measure popularity, I go to a lot of live shows and kept getting surprised at which bands were popular or unknown, don’t have a good handle on it. So that’s generally what I do now.
Criminally overlooked, except in Greece where they were huge apparently.

After Midnight Project.
Only one album :(
