[QUOTE=Hand]I got their record a few weeks back and it wsa love at first listen... seeing them on some boat in two weeks. should be swell.

nb. spread that romance...[/QUOTE]
Jeebus! i was on that boat! dressed as a pirate.

Flee the Century and Death to Grays, who have recently broken up, are both amazing bands from Spokane, WA, about 90 mins from where i live.

Nanomansion is a local band (Lewiston, ID) they're cool guys, and make some beautiful music.

from my country (Canada):

Matthew Good / MGB
Our Lady Peace
Sloan

from my PROVINCE (seeing as how we dont have states in Canada)

Neil Young (Manitoba)

yeah i know neil young was born in toronto, and i know he moved to the states where he did all his good work, but he still counts as manitoban.

There aren't a lot of bands to go national from my state (Alaska), but among the few...

Anatomy of a Ghost
Portugal. The Man

And a local band called Strept ([url]http://myspace.com/akstrept[/url])

[QUOTE=musicisgood]Seriously? Youo're from canada, and you think those are the best canadian bands. What a shame.[/QUOTE]

Agreed. If I was from Canada I would say SYL by a mile.

Australia - AC/DC or Red Paintings

I don't like much from Hawaii, Jack Johnson is okay but that's it.

[QUOTE=sgrevs]Cut Copy or The Presets. Both incredibly awesome. Or Wolfmother. All Sydney boys.[/QUOTE]

Horiible. I agree this is disappointing. I bet you've only hear PTH from MTV/MuchMusic havent you?

Protest The Hero
Alexisonfire
Forgotten Rebels
Closet Monster
Hostage Life
Screw It! There are so many other great bands out there from Canada, but what you listed is pretty bad. Theyre all good, but not the best AT ALL.

MissAntarctica. ([url]http://www.missantarctica.net[/url])

Think Radiohead, Wheat, The Flaming Lips, Pedro The Lion and Wilco in one. Great band. They are stationed here in Holland, but half of the band is British. You can definately hear that in their sound. Their debut is called "Lost Electricity" well worth checking out!

Oh goodness! How did I forget the Arrogant Worms! Such musical goodness.

[QUOTE=Danzo]I'd definitely say The Smiths mmmm.... Manchester is the best.

Along with the Stone Roses and Joy Division.[/QUOTE]

Amen. Manchester is the King of music, and record shops.

I'd probably say my favourite bands from this country are Charlottfield, Corinthians, and UpCDownC.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Arcade Fire
Mare
Cryptopsy
Woods of Ypres
SYL
Quo Vadis

i forgot about Dispatch

[QUOTE=NachoChez]Illinois spawns too many awful bands. We've got Smashing Pumpkins, Cheap Trick, Wilco, Fallout Boy, Chicago, etc.[/QUOTE]

smashing pumpkins are awful...?

well the beautiful south are from hull and i was bron near there. i gues they are good. Manics are one of best brit bands ever, and so are clash but they aint from anywhere i ever lived in lol.

[QUOTE=CarrionBirds]smashing pumpkins are awful...?[/QUOTE]

yes. Wilco is good though

[QUOTE=Kyle]Reading, Berkshire, England[/QUOTE]
Me too,
