Post a local band that you think are really good
 
If you know any good bands/musicians that are from where you live, that aren't widely known, post them up.

Post your location too, and a link to their tracks if you can.

I'll start with Fight Like Apes, from Dublin Ireland. Maybe not to everyones taste but they put on a great live show and write catchy stuff.

Blackbud - Jeff Buckley-esque vocals with Cream/Hendrix type backing.

Karma Mechanics - Might as well blow my own trumpet and plug my band, we've been told we're pretty good..Think Muse/At The Drive-In/The Faint etc

Clumsy - Acousticy folky reggae type stuff from Bristol.

Somerset is from MN, so they're not a local band to me, but the music kicks ass anyway. House of Knives is my favorite song.

EDIT: Progressive punk/rock/pop music, think Spitalfield for best comparison.

OK, they're not really a local band, because they apparently come from the planet Venus.. but they play locally. Valient Thorr put on the best live show i've ever seen, when they were opening for Fu Manchu a few months ago.

Without reading the OP I'm going to guess that OP is from England. And it annoys me. Sorry.

I've literally no idea why you'd make this assumption!? Or why it would annoy you...

Some good stuff bein posted anyway. A lot of ppl aren't including their location in the posts though...would be good to get that too.

Looks like I was half wrong. I knew from the thread title grammar. It's probably my strangest pet peeve.

Probably one of the best acts in St. Cloud, MN. They get their stuff played at Timberwolves games pretty frequently and absolutely pack the Red Carpet (St. Cloud's big live music bar) every time they play. They've started playing outside St. Cloud more often and have a date listed in Ames soon, too. Check out Faded and Tell Me When I Get There.
