Cool indie bands?

What are some really cool bands that you think not many people have heard of?
If you know any that you think others would like, list them here.

Porcupine Tree-reminds me a little bit of Smashing Pumpkins and Floyd
Goldfrapp - Cool electronic rock band with a chick singer, and weed themed music
Mestar - Trippy Melodic Rock, with an edge
She Wants Revenge - Dark New Wave with a modern twist
Ministry - classic angry grinding industrial rock
Morphine - the only low-rock band. They had a drummer, saxophonist, and two string fretless bass.
Clinic - Quirky mellow British rock

Pink Reason. I cannot in words express my appreciation for this band. Though the time ive spent with them in my ears has been short, its been orgasmic. Because of them i picked up and dusted off my guitar. Oh my god. The imagery in their songs, is so vivid. The song Motherfucker has just about brought me to tears numerous times. For anyone who appreciated music you should obtain a copy of Cleaning the Mirror, it was a full leingth album they released in 2007.

do youself a favor and watch this video YouTube - Pink Reason Part 1
when have i ever steered you wrong before

I recommend the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they have a great new EP out called Is Is and a new album on the way. They are about the coolest new Indie band I've discovered for a long time.

there is this one "group"/guy, a dude who gets help from other musicians, called Cornelius, its a japanese dude, the only way to really understand what he is about is to get a good high going, and go listen to this one song called the fit song. its on his myspace which i will link MySpace.com - Cornelius - Nakameguro - www.myspace.com/corneliusofficial its really cool when your high, and most will love it. dont forget to turn it up some, its a quiet song, so make it a little loud to get all the nuances.

Animal Collective. They're an exprimental rock group, and their music is fucking beautiful.

Animal Collective is the shit. Sung Tongs is genious.

The Books... hard to describe but very cool.. seeing them live is a trip
Battles ... lookupthe video for tonto or atlas

and props to angry nomad for mentioning Morphine... I love them, and they're very underrated.. I wish more people knew of them

Spoon? Anyone hear of them, they are a Houston based band, Gimme Fiction is definitely their best album to date.
