So I was just wondering who your favorite local bands are, and if they have a MySpace or something I (and others) could check out. And please, don't put crap in here.

The only band I've found from Wisconsin that I like is Uncle Bob Drives A Combine

Called to Arms = best band from raleigh.

Secret lives of the freemasons

One Amazin' Kid
http://myspace.com/oneamazinkid

There are others, but I cant remember right now.

like from my state?
i guess Code:Adrenaline
i don't know of other local bands in NY, but i know local bands from MA, PA, OH, IL, CA, AR, NC, KS, MN, NH ect. you can go browse PureVolume for bands that no one's ever heard of before. but the problem is that they have like 500,000 bands, so it'll take a long time to browse through all of them.

edit:;

does Bayside count as a local band?

and i almost forgot one: All Grown Up

Well, I have. The point is that I don't want to sift through millions of profiles when you guys know good local bands already. I thought this was a simple concept.

I live in NY, and some of my friends are in the band Kissena and the band Naked Riot. That's as local as you get, really.

THINK - I grew up with 2 of the guys in the band, and dated 2 of them, lol but they are really good. Won battle of the bands twice, just amazing really. Awesome live.
myspace/thinkmusic.

Polyester - heard they were amazing, went to see them one night when my friends band was playing, and they were great. their myspace doesn't even show how amazing they are. Especially live, you want to marry the lead singer.
myspace/polyester

the color of may

those boys are going somewhere.

sadly, a lot of my favorite local bands have broken up. :(

but this one has members of one of my old favorites, the motion the motion

Forget the Girl

Below normal is pretty good. They are better live though.
I go to church with 3 of them hahaha and Im good friends with 2.

Also, one of my best friends is in a band called The black out period. but idk if they have anything online yet.

Into the beautiful is good.. live. The quality of the stuff they have on myspace is really low.

Farewell is good.

Classic Case is mmmazing.

Hmmm...
As far as Valparaiso goes, I really don't care for much.
However, I really do enjoy Child Robot Malfunction.

Oh, and if we're dealing into a Chicago area, I'll dance to some Evil Empire.

i have a few more! they're not from NY though.

Alien Versus Earth Queen
Almada
All Safely Crashing
16th Avenue (their PureVolume site.)
About Last Night

i'll add the links in later, when i have the time.

edit:;

links added.

what kind of music? like, metal or rock or what?

The Honour Recital are a rock band that used to be local-ish. they moved to hollywood last summer.
trigger point are from LA, and they're kind of metal.
post break tragedy are New Jersey born and bred emo rock.
genocya are death metal from michigan.

so... they're not all local, but they've all played locally, and so i've met them all. i've got loads more too probably...

flee the scene - theyre pretty big now and since im at school, i cant get the link, but you may have already heard of them.

theres also some ill add when i get home so i can give you the link.

The Red Dream <-- posisbly one of the best on long island
Love Robot

There was Terminal, but they broke up. Ivoryline's pretty okay. The rest aren't very good, IMO.

Kurious

well, there's a couple around here... but I'm guessing the first qualify more as a DJ than a band.

DJ Medusa (good music. )

Bec Hollcraft

Reclaim the Fallen

Ever We Fall

Pillars of Nein

my friends' band... they have a myspace.

i made this album cover for them

The Shameless End
This is actually my friends' band. They've only got one demo, but I thought it was pretty hilarious. It's called, "Myspace Suxorz", check it out for a laugh. I love these boys.
