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.
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.
Ramsay Midwood
J Roddy Walton and the Business
Dyssidia is pretty good, and barely anyone has heard of them.
Not sure if underrated, but I donβt see people talking about Foreign Air. At all.
Kruelty is pretty fantastic and so far i haven't met anyone who knows them
Dayseeker
Dark Sun is a fantastic album.
100% I love it!
The aptly named "The Band". They are legends in their own right but I feel they are still underestimated in regard to the catalog and their influence. Big Star would be a close second.
The Smokey Brights. They have consistently good bangers throughout the years. Some of their music was featured in the indie computer game Pacific Drive, and it was fantastic. Save Us Sarah, Fancy Ketchup, and Ocean Shores are some of my favorites. Sad Boy Song #39 too.
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.
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.
Boards of Canada.
Stereolab. French avant-pop band, really pleasant to listen to when driving and working.
Mannequin Pussy! Saw them live in a small bar and after arriving home immediately bought tickets to their next show. The music teeters between hard-core and dream-punk. The way they perform live is truly breathtaking.
The new album rules. My favorite of the year so far.
LOUD BARK DEEP BITE
I just discovered this band a month or so ago on Double J. I laughed so hard at the name and now I'm a fan.
Haven't heard of Double J before but I'll have to check it out. Their latest album 'I Got Heaven' is the perfect introduction to Mannequin Pussy's style
The name makes for some cool merch haha. I was lucky enough to grab a dad hat at the merch table that just says "pussy" on the front in a fuzzy/hairy font.
That is brilliant. If I get a chance to see them in Aus I'll be sure to get some merch.
Double J is a spin-off of Triple J, an Australian radio station. No ads and it's described as a music democracy. Where the people get more say over the music instead of mainstream media so it's quite diverse.
Sub-Radio: American indie pop band
Omar Rudberg: Venezuelan-Swedish singer and actor
