Not Local Mainstream Ear Candy

Due to this addiction, I've decided to make a list (this is getting boring, ya think?) of the bands that deserve recognition. As far as I know, they aren't mainstream yet here in the Philippines but the States and other countries know and love them. I grew to like these artists. Most are rock bands and some have the screamo effect (I'm sorry) but they have good lyrics. :) They're worth your time. Beside some are examples of their masterpieces/the songs I appreciated. :)

A.F.I. - The Last Kiss, Last Caress
All Time Low
Aly and AJ Michalka
Anberlin (c/o KimL) - Amsterdam
Butterfly Boucher - Life is Short
Dead Kennedys - Too Drunk to Fuck
Everclear - Volvo Driving Soccer Mom
Five Times August
Foo Fighters
Hole - Celebrity Skin
Hyde (c/o Lian. lol) - Cape of Storms
Lady Sovereign - Love Me or Hate Me
Meg & Dia (c/o KimL...ü)
Modest Mouse - Dashboard
Nirvana (Kurt Cobain!) - Penny Royal Tea
Oh, Hush! - Going Down in Style, My Neighbor Thinks I'm Famous, etc. **
Starting Line - Playing Favorites
Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
Sublime - What Happened, Date Rape
Sunny Day Real Estate - 48
Sugarcult - Pretty Girl (It's the Way)
The Blood Brothers - Mutiny on the Ark of the Blood Brothers
The Doors (Isn't this Jim Morrison's?ü) - Touch Me
The Sex Pistols - Bodies
The Moldy Peaches
The Vines - Don't Listen to the Radio
Weird Al - Confessions Part III

I might add more when I get hold of new ones. :)

Haha, I know All Time Low and The Starting Line. The Doors rock too.

Have you heard of Making April? They've got a great style of classical rock. Also, some bands of note are FM Static(Their other songs are good too), Cartel and Cute is What We Aim For.
