[QUOTE=AndreTheHyena]What about the [i]entire DC hardcore scene[/i], one of richest and most authentic DIY punk scenes ever?[/QUOTE]

I don't really listen to any hardcore or punk so I wouldn't know.

there's really not a lot of big bands out of South Dakota, but a mate of mine is starting out "Daytrader" [url]www.bigrecords.com[/url]. and i don't mind them, but the closest to me is Bright eyes (omaha) which is abou 2-3 hours away, and i am a big fan of them.

My favorite group from Georgia is the Atlanta Falcons ;)

A few people have done all of Canada so far, so I'm going to give BC/Vancouver a try.

Nickelback was the first thing I thought of :upset:
The New animal photographsographers/AC Newman (I think)
In Medias Res (awesome local band, probably doesn't count in this thread)

This is harder than I thought it would be. There's tons more, but none of them are A&I that I can think of. (help from EightMiles?)

First thing I thought, "Man, those people are really ripping off the New Por[color=white]nographers[/color]. I wonder if they know?"

Well, uh, the lead Greg (the singer) from Dillinger is from Dundalk, so I'll go with Dillinger.

Hmm...can't think of too many New Zealand bands I really like. Pluto are good, looking forward to seeing them at the the Big Day Out.

Jonney Blazes V1 10-30-2005 04:34 AM

Well there are too many too mention from my country (England) but there are a few good localish acts that came from my area..

Hard Fi came from staines which is like half an hour away from where I live.
David essex came from around where I live.

and the two BEST people that lived in my town are:

Eric Clapton (who went to my school)
and Brian May.
