      Post Your Favorite LOCAL Band/Musician

      Alrighty. Speak your mind about your favorite local band, and if you don't have one... maybe a band that isn't 100% mainstream. That means no Fall Out Boy, Lil Wayne, Keith Urban, etc etc.

      Any genre, any city. Just, name the city the band is from (or state), their name, genre, and maybe a youtube video of their music or a myspace link!

      I'll start with three of my favorite bands, starting with least mainstream.

      Name: Everything Zen (or E-Z)
      Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio
      Genre: Alternative Rock

      Song: Don't Waste Your Breath (Live)


      Name: The Thrifters
      Hometown: Cleveland, Ohio
      Genre: Alternative/Rock

      Song: Cabin Fever Killer


      Name: Metro Station
      Hometown: Los Angeles, California
      Genre: Rock/Electronica

      Song: (the one everyone has heard) Shake It!
      You do this every fucking time.
      No sweat.
      No tears.
      No guilt.
      You do this every fucking time.

      I really liked the drums in the first song (the one with the Pirates slideshow).

      Name: Alarum
      Hometown: Melbourne, Australia
      Genre: Tech/Jazz Thrash Metal

      In the same style as Atheist and Cynic, but unique at the same time. They're not known outside of metal circles, but if you're a fan of extreme metal you've probably heard of them before.

      They don't have the best live sound, and it's made even worse because of the nature of the recording, but all things considered it's still a good one.


      This is a song from "Eventuality..." If you can get past the vocals and you enjoy technical metal you should get something out of it.


      I actually don't like that second song. All of the songs from their 2002 Promo were re-recorded for this album and they lost some magic in my opinion. And actually, this track was re-recorded from a previous unreleased form for the Promo, and i didn't like it on much the Promo either (though the rest of the tracks on said Promo are unbelievably awesome) Anyway, it's the only one of the two non-live clips i could find that represents the band well, so there it is.

      edit: forgot the little format at the start, sorry

      They're not 100% mainstream, but they are played sometimes on local radio stations. I don't know how good the quality of the videos will be because I didn't watch them. The SAFETYSUIT video is an acoustic version.

      I've only really been impressed by a couple of the bands from my area, one of which is Sparky. Certainly not mainstream, but Saskatchewan isn't really known in Canada for its music scene anyway.

      Name:Sparky
      Hometown:Colonsay, Saskatchewan
      Genre:Funk, Metal
      Myspace:http://www.myspace.com/sparkymusic

      Song:Bonus


      There are a few others, but Sparky is the one I was most impressed by so that's good enough for now. Maybe more later.

      They just got a new drummer and haven't had any practices with him yet so, yeah. But I like them, they're pretty good.

      I wouldn't call them local but they are alternative and not very well known. WOOO going to a concert next month for them and placking like 6 friends in my car cause the tickets are cheap.

      Armcannon
      http://www.myspace.com/armcannon
      Progressive / Metal / Glam

      Ghostbusters Metal Theme

      Favorite Song: Zelda Dozen Elf Death Gel

      ARMCANNON can be described in a very narrow manner as a video-game cover band. However that would only be half the story. Armcannon plays original arrangements of a variety of nostalgic and (for lack of a better word) awesome music. Each piece is intricately arranged and have been described as "orchestral" on more than one occasion.
