Local Shows and Local Bands

[Liebensaft]

I'm not sure how this will fly, but here goes. Just talk about your favorite local bands, and give links to some of their songs if possible.

You can also talk about some cool local shows you're planning to go to/have been to.

And since this is the punk forum, they should probably be something with a punk or ska sound.

I'll start by saying my favorite (and only non-terrible) local band is The Midnight Cowboys (formerly Insurgents). They're a pretty cool punk outfit from my town, and all they guys go to my school.

Here (http://www.myspace.com/themidnightcowboys) is a link to their myspace. They're playing a show here January 7 with F.O.D. and I can't ****ing wait.

Local crust band, there singer Pete is a right dude: Hes been in the crust scene since the beggining, in his 50's yet still crusting it all up! They just got back from a europe tour.

[DaveToopes]

On Wednesday when I went to the Against Me! show, some local bands that played were

The Offbeats:
http://www.myspace.com/the****inoffbeats

The Vigilantes:
http://www.myspace.com/vigilantes


And a ska band that I've been listening to since they first began that sadly broke up:

[DaveToopes]

Hot damn! Iron Cross is playing here with Yesterday's Youth!

[Liebensaft]

All of those bands are pretty cool.

Flyblown was kind of scary.

[Anarcho Poser]

my most favorite local bands are Public Access (http://www.myspace.com/publicaccess) and Honeycreeper (http://www.myspace.com/honeycreeper). Another good, even more local to me, band is last day shining. (http://www.myspace.com/lastdayshining)

[NewKindofArmy03]

Here (http://www.myspace.com/themidnightcowboys) is a link to their myspace. They're playing a show here January 7 with F.O.D. and I can't ****ing wait.
We're most likely playing that, or so i'm told. It should be a good time.

[Scabies]

Flyblown was kind of scary.

:smoke:

[Liebensaft]

We're most likely playing that, or so i'm told. It should be a good time.
Awesome. I was planning to ask you actually.:chug:

[Mannik]

Good local band were Last Nerve, but they split earlier this year. They had a reunion last night but the tickets sold out!

Break And Take:

[Liebensaft]

Oh, I figured I should mention the local band that won the battle of the bands here, for a reference as to how shitty our scene is.

http://myspace.com/substandard

Note - The Midnight Cowboys did not play at this battle, since it consisted of all bands like the above.

[AIRIC]

my most favorite local bands are Public Access (http://www.myspace.com/publicaccess) and Honeycreeper (http://www.myspace.com/honeycreeper). Another good, even more local to me, band is last day shining. (http://www.myspace.com/lastdayshining)

At SID2 Public Access broke their trombone and played awesome covers.

[Jessizzle]

I will keep it to a low amount of bands, I promise.

[username77]

Punk? Here? Hah!
Ok, I exagerated. There's the Freeze. They're AMAZING. I have never been able to find a MySpace or an official website. I think they might sell cds elsewhere, I'm not sure.

Then there's the Emergency Guns. http://www.myspace.com/theemergencyguns
They're good, even though they basically want to be Choking Victim.
But they're really good.

And this band, Burn Me Down, is metal, but amazing.
http://www.bmdmetal.com/
http://www.myspace.com/agonyrevisited

And there's my band, The Cranks (Sorry if we're not supposed to do this).
http://www.myspace.com/thecrankspunk
There's no drums on any of the stuff yet, and the recordings are a touch old, so we're better now.

[<---NoFX--->]

The Scrub - http://www.myspace.com/thescrub

Awesome ska band from Bristol, UK

[dropkickstreetpunk2]

I like local band threads.

Stressbomb - coming out with a full length in a month or two, http://www.myspace.com/stressbomb

THEM! - Crusty thrash feminist stuff. They are soooo good. http://www.myspace.com/themantsfromspace

Copyright Chaos - Street punk stuff, crazy. www.myspace.com/copyrightchaos

The Profalaktix - Another street punk band that are coming out with a full length in like 2 weeks. www.profalaktix.com

Mankind? - you've probably heard of them, they broke up a while ago.

For more about the CT Punk scene go to www.nutmegpunk.com

[D & V]

Fontana (www.myspace.com/fontana1116) cockout 1969 Punk, all graduated from my school last year.

The Frustrations (www.myspace.com/thefrustrations) Sweet garagey rock, remind me of gang of four mixed with black flag and some Mission Of Burma

Scissors And Heart (www.myspace.com/scissorsandheart) Synthy Dance Punk

Monkey Jacket (http://www.myspace.com/monkeyjacket) Pop punk Ska

[Flagjacket]

On Wednesday when I went to the Against Me! show, some local bands that played were

http://www.myspace.com/vigilantes

You stole both the ones I was gonna post. But now I have the Vigilantes Myspace.

[Brain Toad]

The only related to punk band from Vallejo
Hope Kills (http://www.myspace.com/hopekillsrock) They are utter crap.

This is my favourite 'local' (they are from the other side of the Bay, but still count) band: Tempest
http://www.tempestmusic.com
Unofficial MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/tempestmusik)

[AaronNi]

Lots of good new & old-school punk in Olympia.

Fitz of Depression: Old-School Oly punk who've been chugging along since the early 90's
http://www.myspace.com/fitzofdepression

Greenwich Meantime: A Bass & Drum two piece fronted by a well known bartender
http://www.myspace.com/isforgreenwichmeantime

Joey Casio: Joey is basically a punk frontman who opted to used various Casio beat machines to lay his songs down, total dance-punk
http://www.myspace.com/joeycasio

Lost Cause: Another bartender fronted band, they both work at the same bar. These guys are ok though a tad pop-punk for me
http://www.myspace.com/lostcauseolympia

Rocket Attack: About the only Power Violence band in the South Puget Sound, they did a show this Wednesday with Iron Lung from Seattle.
http://www.myspace.com/rocketattack

Hook & the Daggers: And my favorite, speedy *** thrash punk dubbed Ballroom Thrash, these three neer' do wells got me back into shows downtown and have a great live show.
http://www.myspace.com/hookandthedaggers

And if you ever check Myspace's Punk bands in Olympia (Zip 98501) you should know that the other 40 bands listed have been there for a year and the vast majority of them have never bothered gigging. Kinda sad.

[CommieCanada]

You stole both the ones I was gonna post. But now I have the Vigilantes Myspace.
But they're not local to you. You said you live like 2 hours away from GR :p

[Liebensaft]

I really meant bands from your town, or your school, but your city or general area works too I guess.

The dand Days Away (kind of popular now) is from the town where I lived until I was about 11.

[Jessizzle]

Sum 41 went to Ajax high. Say whhaa.

The Groodies

This is an awesome all girl punk bands that's local around me. They're really good. All of the songs that they have up on their myspace are awesome. Definitely one of my favorite local bands. http://www.myspace.com/thegroodies

Manic Sewing Circle

A good local ska-punk band. Unfortunately they only have "new album samplers" on their myspace right now, so you'll only be able to hear little snipets of their songs. I'm seeing them on the 28th with Mustard Plug and some other bands. Should be a good show. http://www.myspace.com/manicsewingcircle


Waste Basket

A pretty good local ska-punk band. http://www.myspace.com/wastebasket

[anti_manifesto]

Not many bands actually IN my town, but there's always Winnipeg, a 2 hour drive away. In winnipeg we've got:
PROPAGANDHI (http://www.propagandhi.com)...if you haven't heard of them, where the hell have you been for the past 16 years?
No Hope (http://www.myspace.com/nohopesoldout) - Fast music with balls...what more can be said?
The Hot Live Guys (http://www.hotliveguys.ca) - Like their site says, they are garage punk LEGENDS around here. They put on a hell of a live show.

That's all I'm posting for now. Yes, they're local.

[Sebek]

The Naked Skanks (http://www.myspace.com/thenakedskanks) - BIG Punk band around here. They've played with The Adicts, Cockney Rejects, Pork Dukes, and almost G.B.H.

They're largly influenced by 70's-80's Punk/Oi!/Street Punk. They put on one hell of a show, and their cover of "Making Bacon" is just superb. IMO they're a band worth listening to.

[Liebensaft]

these are all local doylestown, pa bands.
I live near Quakertown. You're practically a neighbor.

I showed up during their last song when they played with the Boils.

And my band played pretty bad at the Red Hill show. I wanted to play there again because we would sound a lot tighter then before. And Steve, you should come see us at the Barbary on the 29th.

That was very, very first posty.
Just out of curiosity, since we're talking about local bands, how many people have heard of the Freeze? On the first page I mentioned that they were from here. They're big here, and I know they toured Europe at least once. Are they big anywhere but here?

I'm listening to them now. Catchy stuff, but the bass is almost non-existent.
