[CommieCanada]

Did you ever get to see him back when he was alive?
He was such an amazing songwriter.
i actually did have the amazing pleasure of seeing him the year he died. i told him that i loved him and he gave me a hug. 5 months later he was dead. i was heartbroken. He was an amazing man

[Riziger]

Left Wide Open

www.myspace.com/leftwideopen (http://www.myspace.com/leftwideopen)

Hmmm I checked the page out, for such a popular band the vocals on the song on their page was WAYYYYY out. Real turn-off but they seem to have a decent following with 18k views and t-shirts for sale.

Anyway bands from Malaysia:
Dragon Red (www.myspace.com/dragonredonline) - Their bassist is hot..
Tempered Mental (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=42678582)

You are so lucky.
I have only properly got into him this year, but he has quickly become one of my favourite artists.

Gav wins.

The only semi-famous band to even come out of pittsburgh is The Clarks, thus causing a huge wave of imitators, and ruining every possibility of any type of music in pittsburgh. Oh, an Anti-Flag is from here, but theyre awful.

[bottlerocket]

ROFL that sucks...I hate Anti-Flag. :(

-Gav

[cobert]

ROFL stop lying, you know you own every Anti-Flag CD.

[Tjebby]

I can't see them on the 24th June though, cause I'm on holidaaaaaaay. :(

Punchline is from Pittsburgh. They rule.

[Formofdark]

Michigan has good music wtf you guys.

I know these are all from there:

Still Remains
Insane Clown Posse
The Black Dahlia Murder
Chiodos
Andrew W.K.
Eminem

and local has a bunch of good ones if you go to shows to discover them.

[Tjebby]

You should edit your list to say: Andrew W.K.

I haven't heard The Black Dahlia Murder or Still Remains though.

[Formofdark]

I would but I like all the artists in there listed so I kept them.

TBDM/SR are really good though.

[cbmartinez]

Still Remains is terrible.

[Formofdark]

Still Remains>SDRE

[Tjebby]

Woah. Son. Don't go saying things you don't mean.

[cbmartinez]

It's an epic toss up of mediocrity, but Sunny Day can at least hold my attention.

[Formofdark]

Oh but I mean it, we had a convo like this in the Underoath thread.

[chumpradio]

The Beatles were from 40 minutes away.
And a few other bands like Franky Goes To Hollywood.

Then Manchester has had quite a few bands, most notably Morrissey (I think) and Oasis.

Awesome. I have 'the story so far' and its pretty damm good.

Also, I'm pretty sure The Dismemberment Plan are from Boston.

[BridgeToSolace]

Greenhouse for being jazzy and creative and extremely talented. No other band rocks a trumpet like these guys. I would pass out a link but the song they have up is not representative of their crazy jazz/ambient/distorted awesome sound.

Overall, Twists is my favorite. Absolutely great when I saw them, and the drummer/singer is sweet. http://www.purevolume.com/twistsslugsandroscoes

(They're from Needham, MA. There's no scene in my actual town at all.)

These are local bands, not bands that just happen to have started in my generally area but are now wide-spread. The second group is a stupid reason for a thread.

Wow, you are totally superior to me in every way, shape, and form. No seriously. I totally think you're a much better person than me for being able to list all those hardcore bands from Boston. Honestly, I'm thoroughly impressed. Man, I wish I was as cool as you. Should I spit or swallow?

I mentioned Slapshot already, by the way.

Whoa, ease up there pally. I don't see what all the sarcasm is for I was just adding to the list of good Boston bands which there are many of.

15 bands and a proclomation "I win this thread"? Appropriate and totally awesome.

30 bands? Hey, lets lynch the ****er and be a sarcastic asshole!

Don't be a dick.

[bottlerocket]

There's a difference between something clearly a joke and trying to one up me. You're not clever, by the way.

-Gav <--- deal with it, moron

[Excursions]

Hey Gav. I'm here because I enjoy posting in pop punk, not to try and get one up on you. Don't look into things so much, if I really wanted to be an asshole I would be blunt about it.

[NEDM]

http://www.myspace.com/semicolonsareforsuckers

Pretty decent electronic band.

Dude, I don't even hate you. It was a joke. :p

Jon still sucks, though.

-Gav

[Tjebby]

OH MY GOD. Gav, that was a nice post.

[cbmartinez]

Excursions definitely owned your list.

[Jody LeCompte]

Theres not many good bands worth while around here.

Theres some grunge/punk outfit: Hedgefund (http://purevolume.com/hedgefund)
