....talking to a lad the other day about bands that just haven't hit the mainstream but are really really good, still gigging locally maybe regionally. But never quite got the publicity they deserved.
He is a big fan of Millburn (came up at the same time as The Artic Monkeys, but didn't get the same push). I mentioned Sky Valley Mistress who are one of only a handful of musicians/bands that I really took notice of, having the "wow who's that" moment (the one prior being Amy Winehouse).
So who doesn't get the musical love they deserve.
My vote
Sky Valley Mistress - rock n roll

Hubby said.
Violet Orlandi, she has an amazing voice and she's mega fit.
I think Leo Moracchioli is a great singer and musician, he does covers but he's amazing. |

"Tracey Thorn (EBTG)
Much better vocals than Adele, so why isn’t she more revered?  "
Because I guess people never zone in one the best thing, if her vocals are better (subjective, but let's go with it) are her lyrics, music production, physical looks (Hey, sex sells, has for a long time), personal back story, video styles and so on etc, is she rubbish at interviews or does she eschew fame maybe. So many reasons, but if you like her (or any niche/lesser known artist) then great, no need to compare to the top of the tree. |

There’s an Australian born busker who now lives in Glasgow called Malachy, his rasp and tone are incredible not to mention his guitar playing! Recently released an album which you can stream called Drifter, well worth a listen.
The twilight sad -Another Glaswegian band, the lead singer is a friend from school I saw thief live at a small gig and can honestly say it’s one of the best performances I’ve witnessed
Nathaniel Rateliff and the night sweats
St Paul and the broken bones
Are another two favourites of mine xx |

I just don't think you can say that, they are so wildly differing styles and audiences. Might as well compare cheese and chorizo. And this is from someone who adores Massive Attack, and loves all the crazy amazing leftfield vocalists they're used over the years (Liz Frazer being who I might choose over Thorn) |

There's lots of new artists i can mention.
-I'll mention "Jackson C frank" though.
He had a tragic life and never had much recognition when he was alive.
He influenced people like nick drake & paul simon. In fact paul simon shared an apartment with him in london in the 60s.
-Start with the track " milk & honey".

"Sylvan Esso but the most famous U.K. one is Kate Nash, she even made a film about her lack of success , it’s really sad but she simply wasn’t as pretty as Lilly Allen who just copied her "
Coffee by Sylvan Esso is one of my top tracks of all times. |

Another believer 
Protection is one of the best recordings I can think of- it’s exquisite in every way |

You cannot leave out Horace Andy, although I have always enjoyed the various singers MA have used. Hope Sandoval, beautiful voice and looks eternally beautiful/miserable. |
