10 country bands you'll never hear on the radio, but that you should be listening too.

In a time when that no talent barbie doll look alike Taylor Swift is winning country artist of the year by doing duets with T-Pain and Def Leppard, one has to step back and ask "what the fuck is going on?" It's a shame that these Nashville Pop stars have somehow taken over the term country, a term that means alot to not just myself, but alot of other people out there aswell. Somebody has to show people out there that country, REAL country still exsists. It lives in the mountains, and hills. In the bars and truckstops. It used to live in Nashville, but has since been virtually run out of town by people who wouldnt know country if it bit them in the ass.

So I figured I'd give some people out there who may not otherwise find this music a chance to give it a listen. Here are 10 real country bands/acts that I think you should all at the very least check out.

10. Hellbound Glory.



9. Rachel Brooke.



8. Honky Tonk Hustlas.



7. Justin Townes Earle



6. Scott H. Biram



5. Lucky Tubb



4. The .357 String Band



3. The Pine Box Boys



2. Bob Wayne and the Outlaw Carnies
