My favorite local rap group out of Rochester, NY is comprised of two kids that go by 3elevn. Very good vocab and metaphors and extremely catchy hooks. http://mixconnect.com/listen/3ELEVN+-+Bread+x+Bombay+%7C+The+Last+Dutch-mid28236

Michigan has a very active emo scene, most notably with Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate), who operate their own record label, Count Your Lucky Stars, in Fenton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGc2BhcwnN0

I'm from New Westminster, BC. We have a band here known as the Devin Townsend Project. I would describe them as "experimental". Overall they're a good band that deserve some attention.

Perpetual Werewolf, who I mentioned earlier in this thread, finally finished their full length. It is good, but doesn't quite capture the intensity of their live shows. They have also unfortunately broken up. But still, one of the best unknown bands in the world. If you like weird hardcore, weird punk, and cool instrumentation, it's worth listening. http://perpetualwerewolf.bandcamp.com/

Understanding posted:I can talk about bit about bands from Long Island, New York. Played with some really fun bands over the last two years. Long Island rules! It's not just lovely scenester emo/hardcore like everyone seems to think, we got good stuff too! I've been playing around here for a few years now (I'll spare you my self promotion) and there are so many amazing bands, it's kind of strange that the area isn't known for it. (I'm glad you mentioned John Warren, I'm friends with him, Tin Can Collective is awesome) Bangladeafy (previously mentioned) were originally LI, and so was Lost Boy? (scuzzy indie lo-fi pop http://lostboy.bandcamp.com/). Some recommendations are: Moon Tooth (progressive/aggressive metal): http://moontoothny.bandcamp.com Beach Moon Peach Moon (lo-fi trippy dreamy narcotic acoustic stuff): http://beachmoonpeachmoon.bandcamp.com/album/wonderstanding Grand Cannons (psychedelic garage stoner): http://thegrandcannons.bandcamp.com/album/supercollider And The Day Is Mine (mathy proggy rock): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZz1f_nKI5M My Summer (indie alternative rock): http://mysummer.bandcamp.com/album/my-summer AfroDjMac (electronic glitch pop): http://afrodjmac.com/music/ Brian Bonelli (instrumental acoustic songs mostly about US presidents, his album is called "FDR you ready to rock?"): http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4Q3ch-I5GQJaEG5WfSqouA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOJpLfVbMSo Got to see these guys open for Dispatch on Friday night here in Gainesville, FL and I have to say they absolutely killed it. Apparently they used to be a 12 member ska/funk/whatever ensemble, but have since reduced the member count to 4 and are sort of reggae/funk fusion. They are excellent. Check out the song 'Relations' from the below: http://www.reverbnation.com/Morningfatty/songs These guys are awesome.

I have a friend who drums for a sludge/post-metal band called Drofnosura, they just released a free EP you can get from their bandcamp here: http://drofnosura.bandcamp.com/ I think it's really solid stuff and hopefully they'll play some shows in Toronto in the spring or summer because I'd love to see these guys live.

Meet, Five Alarm Funk, a west coast funk group from Vancouver, and let me tell you, they're massive, their live concerts are amazing, and they're just really loving fun and awesome people. I literally cannot listen to their music without dancing. This is my shower music, my house party music, it's just so drat funky (Wash your Face) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCNkHWoThB8 (Hot Funk Sunday) (sick bass riffs) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G53S3tX-bvE (Live video of their 20 something all playing together) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYMdwuaf-Xk

Maryland/DC based folksy Americana group Pretty Gritty. I'm on mobile and youtube is being a jerk but you can search them there or go to their page at prettygrittymusic.com. If you search youtube look for the song 'Scorned'; it's an older tune of theirs but pretty indicative of the kind of music they make. They started as a cover band mostly when they had a different name, but now they almost exclusively play original tunes. Last summer they travelled the States doing various gigs, and I think later this year they're moving to Portland. But for now they count as local to me so I'm allowed to post it!

I'm friends with a few guys in a kick rear end band from Tempe, AZ called Future Loves Past. A couple of them just moved out to LA and their goal is for the rest of the band to be out there in a year, I'm kind of pissed to be losing such a cool local band. Awesome mix of pop, psychedelia, and rock. http://futurelovespast.bandcamp.com

Not exactly local to me, I guess, but here's some electronic/metal music from some guys I know. https://soundcloud.com/ultramusiccom/sets/teslathrone-railgun For some reason they insist it has something to do with black metal apart from one Burzum cover.

Phoenix, AZ I'd have to say my favorite local band so far would have to be Black Carl. They have an awesome live presence, and the singer has some pipes. I guess it's best classified as funk rock? I was lucky enough to be at the Christmas show this video was shot at. They also put on a great show on Valentines day this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pU-58I6x2Y Make sure to check out Hussy which is a very fun song, as well as Badbeat and The World. Should all be on Spotify, if not Youtube.

Shovelbearer posted:Technically they're transplants from LA... Aren't they all these days... Personally, my favorite of the Nashville crop is still Those Darlins. They just released their third full-length, and they've earned a lot of buzz nationally in the last few years. I'm fairly certain Screws Get Loose and Mystic Mind are two of the best songs ever written, and they're really fun to see live. The album Screws Get Loose is pretty amazing as a whole if you're into 50's influenced garage rock with nods to Phil Spector's production style. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tzfzN0MyhU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c8H-HlLiVA Understanding posted:Saw them open for Horse the Band in '07, really fun dudes.

David Hasselhoff On Acid are kind of like an instrumental Mars Volta with a little bit of Dillinger Escape Plan mixed in. My jaw dropped the first time I ever saw these guys live. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-rnINWduJo Wrath and Ruin sit somewhere at the intersection between Meshuggah, Neurosis and Godflesh. Crushingly heavy, with lots of synths and a big industrial vibe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d_Iw_M6itU Bummer is three young dudes playing Melvins-esque sludgy noise rock. Keep an eye out for these guys, they're gonna be big soon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMCep-hhZ3A

Here is The Poly Opto who are notable for not being poo poo. Tends to sound like the more aggressive parts of Mars Volta. Long Division is post-rock and instrumental. They remind me of Maserati. Suburban Living is a dude whose real name is more than good enough for a rock star (Wesley Bunch). He plays dream pop backed by sexless Prince-style drum machines. Most of the rest of Hampton Roads is garbage, sorry.

simreal posted:Wow ... I checked out their Myspace (first link in Google search) and they have some killer stuff. I was checking over my old posts, thanks for reminding me to remind myself of the Mudkids. It's some good poo poo -- the longer away from the Midwest I get the more I think I undervalued them just because, well, everybody knows the Midwest is poo poo. Self-depreciation can lead us to undervalue some real loving gems.

I may be a Savannah resident now but I still consider New York to be my 'local scene' - mainly because I don't know any Savannah bands yet. I highly recommend going to see either of these bands if you're near New York and have the means. Killcode - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-qxywBrIRE Old school metal in the vein of classic Black Sabbath. Hair metal without the hair and makeup and silly homoerotic videos. PUi - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QBSVMxyHE4 Prog metal in the vein of (and completely different from) Tool. Unsigned and selling out the Highline. Unsigned and just finished up a european tour. They'll go places.

I'm assuming you mean Savannah, GA, which is the cradle of stoner/sludge metal bands that get hipster approval. Baroness, Kylesa and Black Tusk are all from there.

Absolutely hooked on a local folky kinda band right now called Audio/Rocketry from Edmonton, AB, Canada. The singer, Joe Vickers, is an incredible musician. Ghost Town Stories -- one of their best tracks Any Excuse For Another -- my personal fave song, goofy video though.

So I've lived in sunny Reading for almost ten years now and the local scenes are mostly rubbish. So that means my only option is to plug a few bands that my friends are in. I won't claim that they're any good, just that I like them and they're a lot of fun live. Plus free stuff. Mutant Zombie Foetus http://mutantzombiefoetus.bandcamp.com/album/- A mix of thrash/speed punk/grind/death and whatever else riffs they tried to play that day. All with not so great recording and lots energy. They've just put out what is probably their final EP... it's Half Life themed! Cephelopod http://cephelopod.bandcamp.com/album/cephelo-ep Self described as trying to play all metal genres at once. A somewhat chaotic pile of oddness ontop of an exteme metal base. They once claimed to sound like Enslaved, just not on anything they've ever recorded. Nyogtha http://nyogtha.bandcamp.com/ Some good old evil drone. Occult soundscapes, feedback, lots of candlelit live shows. Pretty much everything you'd expected from ultra downtuned, ultra long Sunn worshipping stuff. Evil noise. Plus they've just had an album out on an actual label.

If anyone is interested in an appalachian Bruce Springsteen/Mellencamp kind of vibe, I recommend Josh Nolan's new album Fair City Lights. They've been around in various incarnations (as Fair City Lights) before, but they're just now starting to get some recognition for the incredible talent the frontman has managed to pull together around him. If anyone is in the Lexington, KY area, you should absolutely try and see this group. Have a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMWcvJIU8j0

Some guys I went to college with are in a doom metal band that blew up after playing SXSW. They're called Pallbearer. They're from either Conway or Little Rock Arkansas. They used to play 10 years ago locally, but now they've toured Europe and are going all over the country, but I know that band is broke as dead dog poo poo with the money. I like how they have pretty vocals to contrast with the buzzy guitar. e: https://soundcloud.com/ernestimesblog/pallbearer-an-offering-of crikster fucked around with this message at 18:40 on Apr 17, 2014 |

Pallbearer are the poo poo. One of the best doom bands around. Sucks that they're broke apparently, but that's the way it goes in the metal scene. They're touring with Deafheaven this summer. It's gonna be a flannel overload.

There's a really sweet Psych/Shoegaze band that's sort of appeared in the last year around Melbourne called Flyying Colours. One of those really great $10 live acts that you find bouncing around the local venues. https://www.youtube.com/user/FlyyingColours Another one is a synth band that really wishes cyberpunk came back, Forces. All of their live shows have a million smoke machines and a pile of projectors. Lots of fun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=psM2VQiVnq0

We have no idea what we're doing in Orange County, it's hard to get any kinda movement going when we have LA and SD on either side of us to lure in all the talent. For right now though there seems to be a lot of black metal popping up around here and it's doing kinda well on the net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FioQxFyfbAQ
