5 Underrated Music Groups



1) Oh Land.
Oh Land is a danish singer-songwriter now living in Brooklyn. The few albums she has released are an ideal combination between the pop and electronic genres. The Jacob Plant remix of her most popular song "Sun of a Gun" is a great addition to any party playlist.
"Sun of a Gun (Jacob Plant Remix)"
"Wolf & I"


2) Gramophonedzie.
Gramophonedzie is a Serbian house DJ from Belgrade. He has played alongside Basement Jaxx and Bob Sinclair. Although he is known for his debut single "Why Don't You", in my opinion "Out of My Head" is the song to download.
"Why Don't You"
"Out of My Head"


3) Bedouin Soundclash. 
This group is a Canadian band currently based out of Toronto. Their genre of Reggae is often misleading. The band has been releasing records since 2001 but did not come across much success until 2004 with the release of "When the Night Feels My Song". 
Fun fact: The group met while attending Queen's University.
"When the Night Feels My Song"
"Brutal Hearts"


4) Bonde Do Role.
This group out of Brazil makes a fantastic new version of funk-electronic dance music. They were picked up by Diplo and soon after were named one of Rolling Stone magazine's "10 Bands to Watch". Their "Jabuticaba" song is a rework of a well-known Grease song. Their songs serve as a great break from the constant electro genre that fills most of our party playlists.
" Jabuticaba"
"Solta O Frango"


5) Fleet Foxes.
Fleet Foxes is a folk band that formed in Seattle, Washington. Rolling Stone compared them to the likes of the Beach Boys, Animal Collective, and Crosby, Stills & Nash. Their 2008 album entitled "Fleet Foxes" is perfect for a countryside road trip. 
"White Winter Hymnal"
"Ragged Wood"
