The Kills

these guys are more popular in the UK, but I like them anyways. If your not very into the "obscure" bands, I'd say check them out anyways :) I found them one day when I was looking up animal collective videos, and apparently their on the same record label?? and here's the formal shit

The Kills is an indie rock band formed by American vocalist and guitarist Alison Mosshart ("VV") and British guitarist Jamie Hince ("Hotel"). Mosshart was previously in Floridian punk rock band Discount, and Hince was in the British rock bands Scarfo and Blyth Power (the latter an anarcho-punk band). The duo first met when Mosshart heard Hince practicing in the hotel room above hers, and when the former groups disbanded they struck up a songwriting partnership. For months, the pair air mailed work tapes across the Atlantic; this proved to test the patience of both artists as it took days or weeks to get each others tapes, so Mosshart moved from her Florida home to London.....aaaaand The Kills were born!

Their pretty good, and I've been listening to them quite a bit since I found them. You could call them a diamond in the rough, or you could just say I listen to weird music. Either ways, take a listen, you won't be disappointed.
