CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

This thread is dedicated to all the bands that you think are awesome yet seemingly nobody knows about. Got any? Here are some cool bands that I listen to but barely anyone seems to know.

Saviour Machine -gothic rock opera (almost literally opera.)
Celldweller - Faster industrial
Makeshift 3 - punk a bit emo-ish.
Noggintaboggan - punk
Calibretto 13 - folk punk!
A New Face For Mona - an old work buddies hardcore band.

When I think of more I'll post them.

They Might Be Giants.

Best...

Band...

EVER!

mewithoutYou. I'm sure they have a bigger fanbase up north but not many people down here like them.

I LOVE them! ^O^ I was first introduced to them from the Malcom in the Middle theme song..XD

Rhapsody
Freedom Call
Kamelot
Dream Theater
Angra

Also, tonight I started listening to a new Christian artist I've learned of... he's pretty kewl, Neal Morse.

Common Children.

Coheed and Cambria

Savior Machine is a pretty good band. I'm also a big fan of They May Be Giants.

As Cities Burn, Emberghost, Shaded Red, and Still Breathing.

Dream Theatre
Mr. Bungle
Deadsy
The Pixies
Cake
Les Claypools Frog Brigade

anteye luci
the ramones (why does no one know who one of the most famous groups ever is?)
something witch ... i forgot the name ... they do this opera rock thing ... sounds like this sviour machine does the same stuff!!!

My favourite band is a rubber band. You can tie things up with it, you can play with it or use it as a projectile against pesky co-workers.

They Might Be Giants are cool from what I remember...MeWithoutYou seems kind of big to me. They have a pretty big underground fanbase. As for bands that are small on CAA I'd put down MXPX...There seems to be about only 3 or 4 other fans of them here

Other bands that I forgot to put down are.

Viva Voce
One Eighty aka Flight 180
Buck aka Buck Enterprises
Mortal
Rackets And Drapes
AP2
Trust Company
ESO
Stavesacre
Embodyment

Oops double posted...Sorry.

hey, someone said The Ramones...those guys were really cool. I wish I still had that CD...

As for bands that I like however no one on CAA knows or likes is Children of Bodom, Killswitch Engage, 36 Crazy Fists, The Agony Scene, Lamb of God, Nightwish, and Zao.

Hurray for MXPX!!! I really enjoyed their album 'Life in General' and other assorted songs, but I havent listened to any of their stuff recently (only when it comes on my Launchcast Player).

I also used to really like 'The Juliana Theory' bach when their album 'Understand this is a Dream' came out. But I dont hear much from them anymore either.

i know about the Ramones...I just never listen to them. Kind of sad cuz I'm a punk fan...I might check out their stuff sometime. Yeah Saviour Machine is also nicknamed "The Soundtrack To The End Times." Their stuff is basically Revelations set to goth opera. It seems like Zao is pretty well liked here on CAA...I may be wrong though.

Oh how quick you are to assume... I happen to like Nightwish quite a lot and I have heard a handful of Zao songs.

For the record, I have heard of both The Agony Scene and Zao, and although it's been a while I remember liking what I heard of The Agony Scene's music.

I do enjoy their album Shimmer quite a bit.

Ballydowse is a good band that very few people seem to have heard of at all. (What's not to like about celtic punk?) The Choir is also very good, although most of their fans seem to be about a generation older than I am.

oh... soooo wrong! I, personally, am almost completely obsessed with Killswitch Engage and Zao! ^_^

However, I'm sure that no one's heard of the short-lived, yet awesome swing group Flight 180... a shame, too. I'm looking for their first cd, called "Crackerjack"... *sigh*

Actually Nightshade X I already posted them. Crackerjack is a cool CD. They were just known as One Eighty on that CD though.

Koari I also commend your taste in music. I've always wanted to check Ballydowse out but was never able to find any of their stuff :frown:

SirThinks2Much I just saw Seventh Day Slumber in concert Saturday. They were an opening act along with Kids In The Way for Skillet's collide tour. They were really nice guys. Kids in the way were fun to hang out with...I gave some of them my autograph!

nightwish and killswitch engage are both really good ... lamb of god is okay but they kind of suck

Some artists I've discovered that NOBODY seems to know about:

Cold Cash Machine
Zolof The Rock & Roll Destroyer
The Verve Pipe
Flatfoot 56
Aaron Sprinkle

Im sorry if I made any other metal fans angry. I just never see people talk about them.

One band that I really like but isn't that well known (at least I think..) is Bridal Party, aa older Christian version of Evanescence...oh, I bet no one as heard of those guys :laughs:

Emberghost rocks!!

Flight 180?? I've heard of them! they weren't bad :]
