Include the year it was released.
Beast by Rabbit Junk - 2015
Oh hell yeah! Another Rabbit Junk fan!
Solid song.
Have you heard their song called Power? it’s one of my favorites.
i’m kinda new to lemmy, also rj fan, do you know if there is a rabbit junk community somewhere?
I haven’t heard nor found a community for that band yet.
Oh I’ve heard them all, they’re like my favourite band.
Imagine my surprise that shoegaze is still thriving after 35+ years and is harder than ever.
Were you intending to link a song, or reply to someone besides OP?
The markup works in fedia, weird it doesn’t work on Lemmy, https://youtu.be/uhQhiIVjNf8?si=vAVgS2IWa_UQ67V8
Cuntry Boner - Puscifer (2008?). This was a silly side project from the frontman of Tool (Maynard James Keenan). Maybe not a “gem” but it definitely is hidden and the song pops into my head roughly once per week.
Puscifer is still around and is currently the most active of his projects. This song is an outlier in the discography.
The latest full studio album Existential Reckoning is fantastic, check it out! Actually I think I’m going to put it on right now as I get ready for work :)
Trippin Like I Do - Blackfeet Braves (2011). They changed their name to Mystic Rabbit for releasing their first album but I don’t think they ever found mainstream success. This is a really good 60s revival band. I think their first LP as Mystic Braves suffered from being over-produced but their older stuff as Blackfeet Braves is all sensational.
Crazy Fuckin’ Robot Body by Snowblood [2020] https://g.co/kgs/T1jQWzG
Maybe ‘gem’ is a bit of an overstatement (depending on your level of musical snobbery 😋) but I stumbled across this song/artist through Spotify at one point and ended up really digging it/them. They have another song I’d give honorable mention to as well, ‘Freaky Freaky’ I think is the name.
These certainly aren’t what I’d call ‘masterpieces’ or anything, but they’re fun songs I enjoyed and you might too if you can listen without thinking about it all too hard
Mirel Wagner - Red (2011) https://youtu.be/WgKQueNc7SY
An oldie, but one few people seem to know about.
The Cult - The Witch from the Cool World soundtrack. Fuck me that song jams out.
Just a handful of my lesser known favorites. All different genres.
No Money by Wild Ones 2017. This song is really good but the whole album just has this cohesive vibe that I wish more people knew about.
Playtone - Sleep on Sunday (2006?)
An excellent song that I first came upon downloading a demo album from
download.com
back in the day when they hosted music albums. I can’t find anything about this song online anymore except for this YouTube upload and in my personal mp3 archives. If you know more about it, I’d love to hear it!Blinded - The Bots (2015)
Whirlwind - The Gits (recorded in 1993 released in 2000)
The Gits are one of the best bands to come out of Seattle in the early 90s. I feel like they could have been up there with the greats if their lead singer Mia Zapata wasn’t murdered.
This song in particularl is a perfect example of how awesome they were. It has that early 90s Seattle grunge sound but with a more punk edge. They never officially recorded this song and this live recording wasn’t officially released until 2000.
There are far too many, but here’s a couple:
David Ramirez and Kalu James - Dark Star (from Song Confessional) (2022): https://youtu.be/lSg9qsBgfgs
Song Confessional is a podcast that collects anonymous stories then has artists make songs for it. This is my favourite song from that.
Great Caesar - Hey Mama (2016): https://youtu.be/fCnSEsx6Cp8
I don’t even think they’re a band anymore, or at least they haven’t released anything in quite while.
Ladyhawk - New Joker (2006): https://youtu.be/4hUnygYXvfs
A rough sounding Canadian band that has disbanded, but actually had a documentary made about their second album creation process. Saw them live once and they were great.

I think you commented to the wrong post, mate
