You have probably heard people say stuff like, "There really is great music coming out these days. You just have to find it." Well, let's work together to make it where people can find it in this thread. Please don't post anything mainstream. This thread is meant for the hard to find stuff. Here's some excellent stuff I've discovered lately...
Found this album randomly among the many boxes of used CDs in some record shop in the city, bought it just because it looked cool (which is fun to do when the cd's are a mere 99 cents ). Good stuff for anyone into good progressive rock/progressive metal. I only have the one album but plan on getting one of the other two soon.
Ok, this isn't exactly "new", as the band no longer exists (their frontman died in the early 90's), but being both obscure and awesome I thought you guys might like to hear about this. The band I'm referring to is Kingston wall, a 3-piece progressive/psychedelic rock group from Finland. Their music was built on a base of rock influences including most notably Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, and Pink Floyd, a sound which was bent with progressive elements and strong influences from middle-eastern music, which are evident in their first two albumcovers. Their third album, the last released before their singer/guitarist's death, entitled Tri-ogy, evolved the band's style and experimented with a broader range of sounds including synthesizers and atmosphere provided by didgeridoo. The work was written as a concept album, partly based around the Bock Saga.
Here's a sample of their music, most of which can be found on YouTube:
Spoiler for first ablum:
"I'm Not The One"
a cover of Hendrix's "Fire", really shocases the drummer's abilities
Spoiler for second album:
A more complex sound emerges on this album, also introduces some lighter songs than those posted here.
"We Cannot Move"

"Two Of A Kind"
Spoiler for Third Album:
"Take You to Sweet Harmony"
I particularly like this one. Great guitar work.
Here's a bonus, a live cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb" at one of their "Freak Out Club" events.
The two living members of the band are now members of the blues-rock band Zook. Here's "Buckshot" from their debut album Root Canal Recovery
"Save" on the "Edit Post" option hasn't been working lately, so I am double posting. Sorry. This is some bizarre dance rap stuff from a Baton Rouge guy called Culotta Rock.
