The Helidoctors. They're a band from Wisconsin. I think they've played like 1 real gig. I listen to their album, "Full on" frequently. Btw i live in New York so its not just a local unkown band, im not sure how i found out about them honestly dont remember...
How about P.Square? Totally mainstream, millions of Youtube views for their more popular songs, touring globally... but has anybody else on TB heard of them?
Very obscure! Les Variations, from the late 60's and 70's. Signed to Buddha Records at one time. Released a number of records and opened for some very big bands - "BachmanTurner Overdrive, Kiss, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Cream, Yes, Guess Who, Taste, Queen, Uriah Heep, Rush, Kraftwerk and Aerosmith, to name a few."
Les Variations - Moroccan Roll
Les Variations - Kasbah Tadla - LP French Progressive! 1974

Yours for Now, a great band made up of some of my friends. Added to their unknown-ness is the fact that they broke up after only two EPs, when one of the two lead singers moved from NYC to South America then to SF a couple years ago.
Bonus fact: I did the cover art for both EPs!

Sorry to burst your bubble. I've heard them.
The list of obscure bands is pretty endless. Somewhere in the world, at this very moment, a new band that you've never heard of is forming and giving itself a name....oh, there's another one...
+1, that's the hard part - finding unheard of bands is easy.
I personally have been listening to the muffs a lot lately, and I've seen the joys play a few times in town. Neither of them are too bad, but I'm not a big fan of the joys, and the muffs are hit and miss with their material. Of course, like all things pertaining to music, IMO. I'm not even sure how "unheard of" these bands are.
No one has ever heard about outside of Spain: Angelus Apatrida, AWESOME new thrash metal band, specially their 3rd album Clockwork, combination of megadeth, pantera, slayer, metallica and all teh good stuff.
Probably not well known outside UK/Europe: Evile, Straight up thrash, kickass, more agressive thrash the likes of kreator, exodus and that stuff.
Highly recomended check em out

Cool. I'm going to memorize these and invoke them if I'm ever amidst a bunch of hipsters.
