Post Hardcore / Rock
Juneau plays in the Houston area and they been around for a year or two.. most of the kids who play are still in high school and there all young. they usually get huge crowds and the shows are always fun.




this is a legit topic right?

I Guess It Is.. I made a topic about some band called Ghost Town Symphony and It Hasn't Been Closed yet.. So yeah, that's the band I am going to talk about.

myspace.com/ghosttownsymphony
purevolume.com/ghosttownsymphony

They have a funny story. One of the members, or more I'm not sure, was in Armor For Sleep and left the band to make other music. Plus I know the lead singer of Ghost Town Symphony lol

i support local music 100% . i've got some favourites from around my area

Stiff Resistance
Cretin Grimms
The Action Figures
Finding Steve Cunningham
The Roosevelts
Pleading Silence

Theodore Grimm

Aww, I luff 'em! They're actually one of my favorite local bands...I haven't seen any of their shows because I don't live in Nutley anymore, but their music is fantastic. That whole eerie, ghost thing going on as well. Kills me, really.

i've only seen them once... they came to our school. i thought they were great

i dig the bands here's another fav of mine..

punk/rock

Drive by June - www.myspace.com/dbj

Losing Interest - www.myspace.com/losinginterest

Edison, NJ's favorite Ska band.
I'm pretty sure the band started last year as seniors at the highschool i go to and there now freshmen at college. THe Lineups changed alot, and the drummer is my neighbor so the band is usually practicing by my house and I hear / see them alot. They bascially sound like Catch 22 so if you like Catch 22 you should like this local ska band.

Edison, NJ's favoirte posthardcore/emo/indie band
I don't know much about this local band since they live on the other side of my town but I've heard there music and they're awsome they got recordings and they sound pro. Very good band.

I really like Stereostar FM, they play in the Bay Area in California.

What do you think of them?

The Skyline Dream is pretty cool... Vocals might need some improvement.. but every other local band needs a new singer anyways. haha... their songs are pretty cool but hey, i'd watch them at a show maybe..
