15 underrated bands 10-7

Ok so now in back! Time to continue my list of the greatest  underrated bands out there. I've actually been thinking hard about this and I think I'm ready to finish this up! So if you haven't read numbers 15-10 you should do that now. Ok you ready? Lets go! And remeber just because a band is popular does not mean that it can't be underrated.  HERE WE GO!

10. Phinehas.
Ok so this is a hardcore band. But there is just something about them that makes it sound like something more than just hardcore music. This is what makes a metal band good. When your not thinking of it as just screaming. A band that does this very much is Demon hunter. But phinehas is very hardcore instrument wise. But they always have the best guitar solos hands down! They are like 80's type solos but with bass breakdowns and stuff. So sick. I am dissapointed in myself for not seeing the. Live when i Had the chance. I need to go check their tour schedule.  Their new ep "the bridge between ep" just came out. It's a b side type thing but it's sooo good! Their new song enkindler is so poetic and it's an acoustic song so if you don't like hardcore this song will still sound amazing to you. Check it out!

9. Family force 5. 
Of course this band would be on here! What did you expect! This band is just overal fun. It's a party band and so much fun to see in concert. It's a giant dance party. Soul glow activator is a great singer and deserves more respect. They get bashed alot for not being that perfect Christian band. But that's not the point of family force 5. FF5 is about fun! And they should be more popular than they are. Cray button should have been played on pop radio. If you listen to that song you will have to agree with me. Plus their style changes almost every album so it can be a band for everyone. They have 3 quality albums. If you want rock get the first one. Electronics anthems get the second one. And dance, dirty south Crunk get the third one. Their newest release is the III.V ep and that's good too' check them out. 

8. FOR TODAY. 
We are fearless!!!!! Yes the devastatingly amazing hardcore band for today. Fronted by the epic legend Mattie Montgomery. For today is indeed extremely popular but they could be even more. Alot of people write them off as that "typical Christian hardcore band" but they aren't! They are so much more than that! All the lyrics are so poetic and power. Here's a lyric sample from their song my confession. These lyrics are like a sermon and this band should be looked upon as some of the greatest writers of all time. . 
Here I stand, unashamed. Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that man.
My King is alive! My King is alive! Call me a fool for this stand, but I would die for that
man. My King is alive! My King is alive! And I will hold fast to the profession of my hope,
because he who promised is faithful. Time and time again, in my weakness, He’s
been strong for me. I’ve not just heard about Him, I’ve heard Him. I’ve not just seen
evidence of Him, I’ve seen Him. He’s alive, and He’s conquered the grave once and for all."

Pretty awesome huh? Yes I know. Check them out. Don't right them off as that religious hard band. Tons of large bands have gotten this done to them as will be talked about as one of the most underrated bands ever comes around towards the end of this list.

7. Abandon.
I didn't even know this band existed till a little bit ago. Which is a shame due to the fact of how good they are! But seriously I have never heard like any promotion for this band. They kinda sound beetles esce but with electronics. Plus soul glow activater remixed their big single feel It in your heart so you should check that out. More people should know about these guys! Quality music. It makes me so sad when a band puts in so much effort and talent into their music yet the band still hasn't taken off yet in the music market. Their new album is out  now. Check it!

6. The JellyRox
The side project of Matt from Eleventyseven that no one seems to know about. But dang is it good. Seriously! It's quality music. In my opinion this is way better than Eleventyseven! He should just quit that band for this one. This is my feel good music. It always puts me in a good mood! Check them out and tell your friends. Plus his album is free on bandcamp! If you want good quality electronic singer songwriter music check this out!

  1. Hmm, I agree with The JellyRox for sure. FANTASTIC underated band. But as for Family Force 5, while amazing, I wouldn't say they are underrated. They get some criticism for being "not Christian enough" But seriously, they are pretty popular right now. Still, great post, going to enjoy seeing what number 1 is.
