I wanted to start this thread because I’m really curious as to what everyone thinks are the Biggest Unsigned bands. Not which ones are the best, just the biggest. I’m going to post 5 that I think are the biggest and then 1 for Recommendation. Here we go!

Rules: Band can never have a serious record deal i.e. no Thursday or Just Surrender.

1. Brighten
2. Holiday Parade
3. My Favorite Highway
4. You Me and Everyone We Know
5. NeverShoutNever

(I know Brighten and MFH have been signed before but I wouldn’t consider them serious record deals.)

My Recommendation:

1. Action Item
(If you like: Valencia, The Audition, The Academy Is…)
Yes, it is my band but we’ve been an Unsigned Showcase on ap.net.
We’ve been Indie Band of the Week on Idobi Radio.
And we’re going to be featured in Alternative Press Magazine in October.

What are your Top 5 and recommendations?
