Rock Bands deserving of more fans. Great music but have not made it big

Ok so here is the rules… New or old bands that should have been more famous than they were. I know we have a thread of indie music but this is more, get the word out there help some listeners get to know them… So no huge smashes. Just small independent bands/ singers. Got a video but not the success. Thank you ^.^

I have three up first.

Manchester Orchestra - The Silence (Official Music Video)

Amber Run - I Found

City and Colour - Save Your Scissors

I was impressed by The Woodentops, but they did not make the headlines of the music world.

The Sound. This is from The Lion’s Mouth. Adrian Borland topped himself during 1999, so RIP Ade

This group/band suffered from IMO poor music direction and did not make it to anywhere near the top, but I thought worth a mention. The Pale Fountains👇

around from 2005-2009 but did not make many records, two of the Band members set up a coffee shop.
Liked them myself and a tad like Thin Lizzie…

British Lions were a short-lived British rock band, together from 1977 to 1979, with former members of Mott and Medicine Head.
• Morgan Fisher – piano, Hammond organ, Korg synthesizer, davolisint
• John Fiddler – guitar, harmonica, vocals
• Dale Griffin – drums
• Ray Major – guitar, vocals

They toured Britain extensively, as support to Status Quo, whose management they shared, and AC/DC, but were more successful in America.
They released two studio albums with little commercial success in the UK and disbanded in 1979.
