I have to say I don't think I ever heard of them, but reading that gave me an overwhelming feeling of loss. I remember going into records shops and being able to listen to records hat the shop owner had put aside because he thought I might like them. More often than not he was right. :) Mainstream music is in a very sorry state today.
