The two main ones for me are Misery Signals and Taproot. Taproot had their 15 minutes of fame in the nu-metal era, but they've matured since then and for some reason fell off the radar. Misery Signals have never got the credit they are due, even though they are one of the best metalcore bands on the scene and have been since their debut record.
Our Lady Peace - Huge in Canada, but never quite as popular as they should have been elsewhere. They've done more with the rock genre in the last twenty years than most in my opinion. Check out: Superman's Dead, Innocent, Automatic Flowers, 4AM, Is Anybody Home?
Acey Slade and the Dark Party - A Brooklyn based band that would have been huge 30 years ago without question. Wrong place, wrong year; great glam rock band. Check out: She Brings Down the Moon, Nothing's Gonna Change, Sugarcum
Dope - A ballsy industrial metal band from the nu-metal genre that for whatever reason never quite broke into the mainstream. Check out: Die MF Die, With or Without You, Bitch, Now or Never

I could go on, I left some off I could put on here but thought maybe they aren't underrated. But you get the idea, there are so many. Bolded ones are the most important to me.

One of my picks for underrated bands has to be the trust company i honestly don't see how they aren't main stream and avery watts is great too.
I'm somewhat questioning that from time to time. Didn't their debut album got some good play? It manage to hit the WWE's radar and some of the singles were PPV theme songs. How have they been since creating Dreaming in Black and White album, two years ago?
