One band I like a lot is The Welcome Kit (www.myspace.com/thewelcomekit), however, I predict they'll be pretty famous within the next year or so just because their songs are catchy and filled with potential.

What are some bands that you see a lot of potential in?

Please post links along with the bands so we can all hear them!

Smaller, more unknown bands with potential that is. Not like, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, who I think have made a few great songs but our yet to really fill their potential.

Or the Guillemots for that matter. Loads of potential there

I'm listening to the Guillemots right now as a matter of fact. "Trains to Brazil" is a catchy song. Can definitely hear their potential.

And Sao Paulo is just awesome. But then they have a decent amount that fall flat.

what a failed thread

this might be my favourite thread ever, because it's almost like a blog. i wish i could contribute, but i'm not very familiar with very small acts. sorry...

Here's a few bands who can become huge, you know, "Indie Huge." They have all made at least solid records, but have the talent to make masterpieces in the future. These bands are known around here, but don't get a lot of press in the zines. They are:

Apparat
A Sunny Day in Glosgow
Miracle Fortress
Phosphorescent
Yeasayer

And I'm sure there are countless others.

A Sunny Day In Glasgow is a good pick, they are a band that I could definately see with loads of potential, also, I want to add, Foals, who just released their debut album, I see a lot of potential there as well.

well I have to get this out there..

arcadefire1027 there's this function called editing...

As far as bands with potential.. Nothing really comes to mind...

Tulsa.

The Quarrymen

Tough to say. The Tallest Man on Earth is a good example of a band that delivered on its myspace potential, but it is hard too pick through all the crap to get to the few gems in my experience.

Lacrosse is a Sweden-based indie pop band (how original!) with a New Pornographers or Tilly and the Wall like sound. Great live band and with better production they could deliver a "Mass Romantic" like album. So good potential there...
