5. Winchester Rebels  (@winchesterrebels)

Coming from Santa Barbara, California, this 5 piece hard rock band delivers a fantastic sound while giving a beautiful homage to the sounds of STP and the like. Unbelievably catchy tunes, recording is beautifully mastered for an unsigned band. Every song is worth listening to, but "Private Angel" Really caught my ear ended up listening to it a few times. Love this sound. I can only see them maturing and becoming better on their second album. Personally, I can't wait to hear more.

Check them out here.

4. Interim Divine (@interimdivine)

Hmmm another Cali band. This one coming from SoCal, this 6 piece has had one hell of an awesome carrier so far. Shared the stage with Korn, Fear Factory, Spineshank, Taproot so many more, played main stage at The Hottest 100 Music Festival, toured with Spineshank and was Named one of the New Faces of Rock by ARTISTdirect. DAAAAAMMMMNNN. Their sound is unique, but at the same time reminds you of so many amazing bands. "Lucid" caught my ear. These guys have a fanatic ear for what sounds good.

Check them out here.

3. Digital Summer (@digitalsummer)

5 piece from Phoenix, Arizona. Damn. Seriously, get this album now. If you don't beleive me, click the link below, go to the songs list and download "Hostage" (For free!) and listen to it all. These guys know how to play music to the fullest. Cannot get enough of these guys. "Whatever it Takes" got some serious airplay and I can tell they know how to work hard. Awesome. Simply, awesome.

Check them out here.

2. Haster (@hasterband)

At first, I was hesitant on these guys. LOVED the music, was fantastic, vocals kinda threw me, but 1/2 way through the first song all doubt left me and I was in musical heaven. This 4 piece embodies the music they create. I feel passion and strength in every song. The band inspirations are present, from Tool, to Chevelle, to me, I even hear a little Fair to Midland in the vocals. Not a lot, but enough that I totally dig it. If you have not heard this, get it now. I can't even nail down one song to check out, because they are all awesome.

1. NeverWake (@NeverWakeMusic)

I'm not going to lie, when I listened to this band I stopped everything I was doing and just listened. It truly blew my mind how fantastic a band can be without having a huge label backing. The quality of the recording shows the passion for this band. Everything is damn near flawless. "Pulse" is a song you MUST check out. They claim in their bio they they are bridging both Rock and Metal, and they do. Perfectly. This is my type of music to the bone. If you have any sense of good Heavy rock music, you will buy this band. Hell, I'm seriously tempted to go all the way to the States just to check out a show.

Please Check them out here.


In conclusion, these are amazing bands that need more recognition. Pass this along, follow each of them, get the albums. They deserve it, and so do you. I will be doing a follow up to this with other bands, but for now, this is it. Any suggestions? Bands I should look at? Leave a comment below.
