Have you ever heard a song ingame and then looked up the band only to listen to all of their stuff?
In Alan Wake I heard a song during a battle sequence, I looked it up and the song was Club foot and the band was Kasabian.

Hmmm no, not that I can think of. But then my kind of music aren’t generally used in games.
Can’t remember discovering a specific band through a game, but I have definitely discovered artists by playing games. Hotline Miami made me aware of Perturbator, for example.
While I did know of the band beforehand, DmC did make me actually listen to Combichrist actively.

the undeground and most wanted games from nfs had a few good songs from bands that i started to listen after playing those games but Forza motorsport 2 and project gotham 4 had the biggest influence when it came to music that i listen to, i still think forza Motorsport 2 have one of the best soundtracks in a game ever, the only memorable music from what i would call a recent game (yes its 6 years old) would be the original forza horizon it has an amazing soundtrack.

Great band!
Trailers and movies sometimes do, but with games I’ve only been introduced to a band once, if memory serves: The Tea Party.
That’s thanks to composer Stuart Chatwood, who did the music for the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time series games. When I looked him up, I found out he had a band that plays rock band with Middle Eastern influences.
I’ll see if I can find a good video of theirs…
Update: Here’s one that’s OK.
And here’s another cool one:
And here’s an example of one of their slower ones:
Yup, Burnout Paradise:
