Which bands do you think are underated 2 of mine would be Levellers they have such a fantastic back catalogue of albums, and their last album Static on the airwaves was fantastic, also New Model Army great songwriters in both bands.

I'd have said Bastille was over hyped rather than underrated

I'd agree with you on the Levs, been a fan for years.

Got to meet Jeremy a couple of years ago.

Agreed. Quite unlike most other bands, maybe they just don't tick the right boxes for UK audiences? Would love to see them live.

dEUS went through a phase of being quite critically acclaimed in the 90s, but they never went supernova like they could have done. Having said that, I think they like the freedom that not being superstars gives them.

I've been listening to She Wants Revenge lately, and I don't understand why they aren't better-known, when bands like Editors and Interpol, who have a vaguely similar style/vibe, are quite popular.

Well they are the same thing really....

There are so many great acts out there that are underrated that deserve more attention, with the internet there is no excuse for so many acts to go unnoticed. Although there is always going to be acts that are underrated or unknown by the public.

Let's be honest the mainstream chart buyers are only interested in what they get fed.

I saw them in London 2 or 3 years ago - they were very good.
