[Indie/Alternative] Recommend a band with <500 followers

Spotify has a lot of great, undiscovered indie and alternative artists. Some of them just need a push into the spotlight. 

 

In this thread you can recommend your favorite indie artists with less than 500 Spotify followers. 

 

Adult Mom has just 398 followers, but they're a promising all-female indie band from New York. I'd recommend for fans of Rilo KileyFrankie Cosmos. 

 

Label: Tiny Engines

Anakin are an alternative rock group with only 353 followers, but they have a sound that could fill arenas. Guitars are densely layered and lyrics focus on space and sci-fi, with keyboards that bring to mind The Rentals.

Recommended for fans of: HUM, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer

Shady: Dave Baker (Mercury Rev) + Martin Carr (Boo Radleys) + Jimi Shields (Rollerskate Skinny/Lotus Crown/ younger brother of Kevin Shields) + Sooyoung Park (Seam) + members of some other great bands (St.Johnny, Th' Faith Healers) = the best one-album supergroup that you've never heard of. The album (released in 1994) isn't really as great as some of the work done by the bands seperately, but it's still an interesting listen for fans of the aforementioned bands, and somehow every song but one on this album has <1000 listens.
