Line 95:
* [[The Blofeld Ploy]] - Metal, mostly of the screaming variety, but with occasional forays into death metal territory.
* [[Blood Knight]]-Scandinavian Thrashcore with a penchant for instigating excessively violent mosh pits.
* [[Blood Magic]]-[[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]] cover band. [[Ascended Fanboy|CFHP recently asked them to act in their latest music video, and open a few of their concerts]].
* [[Bloody Warrior]] - [[Heavy Mithril]] band.
* [[Blond Guys Are Evil]]: [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]. Made up of four friends who got tired of all "hard" bands looking like rejects from a horror movie. They dress like accountants. They sound like death metal at its hardest.
Line 124:
* [[Canon Immigrant]] - Folk rock
* [[Cassandra Truth]] - Borderline emo, every song predicts doom and gloom of the worst variety. The lead singer is legendary for her waily vocals.
* [[Cast Fromfrom Hit Points]]: [[Dark Fantasy]] [[Heavy Mithril]] [[Rock Opera]]. Wear armor with built-in fireworks, so it looks like they're actually doing magic, and hooked up with pipes that squirt fake blood when the firework is launched ([[Nice to the Waiter|the arena janitors and their families are given the best seats at the concert]], and [[Don't Try This At Home|Do Not Attempt!]] is emblazoned across the screen when they shoot at each other). Have understudy band members so the leads can hand off their instruments and duel without messing up the song. Work very closely with fantasy moviemakers (including an anime company) to make their [[Music Video]]s (a fusion of live action actors for humans/ humanoids and animated monster opponents, set in an animated environment). Famous for a grand finale pitched battle, mimicking an RPG battle screen, and [[Pet the Dog]] moments [[Dark Is Not Evil|despite]] their [[Darker and Edgier]] story-singing. [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|They also incoroporate their sound tech and roadies into the show]]. Trying to get their [[Rock Opera]] made into a TV show (a la' [[Metalocalypse]]). The artists themselves are a [[Five-Man Band]], with [[The Hero]] on lead, [[The Lancer]] on Bass, the [[White Magician Girl]] on keyboard, [[The Big Guy]] on drums, and [[The Smart Guy]] on "explosive instumentation". Every so often, a [[Sixth Ranger]] shows up. He's considered to be the best out of all of them, and his appearance is quite rare, so it's considered a treat by all involved (in the vids, he acts as a [[Deus Ex Machina]], who only shows during their [[Darkest Hour]]).
** Damn it, now I want this to exist really bad.
* [[Cast Herd]] - Electro-pop group [[No Celebrities Were Harmed|that sounds very similar to Devo]].
Line 490:
* [[Slasher Smile]]- Incredibly distubing and violent lyrics set to catchy, cheerful pop rock
* Speaking Simlish: A pop-rock band that either speak a mash of foreign languages in each song, or just sing gibberish. [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign|Wider audiences claim they're actually singing in Chinese, Japanese, Korean and even Russian.]]
* [[Spikes of Villainy]] - affectionate parody of [[Black Metal]]. Lots of [[Heavy Mithril|fantasy]] and [[Warhammer 4000040,000]] references in the lyrics.
* [[Springtime for Hitler]] - A neo-Nazi rock band that keeps trying to get themselves pulled off the radio by singing praises for Hitler. The controversy just makes them even ''more'' popular.
* [[Squee]] - a Japanese pop band whose songs are incomprehensible, but the few understandable lyrics all relate to a [[Sugar Bowl]] world where [[Everything's Better with Sparkles|sparkles reign supreme.]]
Line 552:
* [[Twenty Bear Asses]] - [[Heavy Mithril]] filk, using "no shit there I was" stories as a [[Framing Device]]. The [[Ho Yay]] [[Transparent Closet|manages not to take over]].
* [[Unfortunate Implications]] - Lo-fi rock band whose lyrics do, in fact, have [[Unfortunate Implications]].
* [[Unmoving PlaidPattern]] - Dance-pop band that [[Disco Dan|refuses to move on with the times]].
* [[Unsound Effect]] - Experimental art-rock band that makes "music" with random objects. Kind of a Steve Reich meets early Residents sound.
** Alternatively, a rap group whose song lyrics consist of absolutely nothing but various onomotopieas.
Line 560:
* [[Visible Silence]] - Quiet-yet-menacing slow rock, with a lot of acoustic instruments ''a la'' early Days of the New.
* [[Voodoo Shark]] - Full Stop.
* [[Wall Banger (Darth Wiki)|The Wallbangers]] - Classic rock.
* [[Wallet Moths|The Wallet Moths]] - Indie rock. Currently busking.
* [[Wangst]] - Supergroup formed by all the members of [[Erection Rejection]], [[Face Full of Alien Wingwong]], [[Feng Schwing]], and [[G-Rated Sex]], as well as the drummer from [[X Meets Y]] and the vocalists from [[Party in My Pocket]]. NSFC, NSFT, NSFSC... hell, not safe for ANYBODY.
Line 582:
* [[Artistic License Military]] - A controversial metalcore/crossover thrash band, where all of the band members are dressed in military uniform and army fatigues, and the lyrics are a bombastic satire of military traditions, hierarchy, and boot camp. They generally pal around with bands such as System Of A Down and Dead Kennedys.
** Formerly entitled "You Fail Basic Training Forever", the managing label encouraged them ([[That Wasn't a Request|not too subtly]]) to change their name and suggested that they invoke a bit of "artistic license". The band evidently took their suggestions a bit too literally.
* [[You Fail Logic Forever]] - a very odd, synth-heavy band whose first album (Global Warning- er, [[Hollywood Global Warming]]) is composed almost entirely of things that wouldn't seem out of place on the [[Surreal Theme Tune]] page.
* [[Zerg Rush]] - [[Sci Fi]] speed metal from Seoul.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]] - All female tribute to [[Neon Genesis Evangelion]] sporting short skirts and high socks.
