Bands that sound like no other

Tell me (as much as you like) about bands that had/have a sound that no other band had or has come close to replicating.

Inspired by the works of The Blood Brothers. Unmatched and untouchable.

I need another The Blood Brothers in my life!

Shamefully haven’t listened to Yo La Tengo or Scott Walker. Need to do something about that. Minutemen is a great shout

sounds like The Velvet Underground and other Velvet Underground-derived bands.

This is not at all what I imagined they’d sound like

I’m liking this. “Water-damaged” is the perfect description

A lot of lovely subtleties going on that become more apparent as the track fades out and the layers get stripped back. Will be checking these dudes out in full tomorrow

The Residents.

Primus tried so very hard to sound like them, but didn’t quite get there.

Damn this is good (Wings of Joy). Definitely have/had their own thing going on. There’s elements of their influences in there but, yeah, pretty unique sound. Very dark, me likes
