Well i hope the staff gets to read this at some point, because there a shit load of long island bands that need more attention and deserve it like crazy. So let me get started:

1. Orion - incredible screamo/rock type music. They've just recently filmed a new music video for "She's Only Human" so expect that to be released within the next month or two. I was at the video shoot and let me tell you, it will turn some heads.
Label: Hotfoot Records

2. Deciding Tonight - Hotfoot Records' most recent signing. Intense, catchy rock/screamo. Amazing live show, very talented musicians. Check out their track "She Walks Through Walls," it features guest vocals by Dan from As Tall As Lions.
Label: Hotfoot Records

3. Novemberkills - they've been around, they've been promoted on ap.net before, but they deserve more. They do a lot of touring, so check out their site for their schedule. Amazing recordings, check out "Foreplay" and "Made for TV."
Label: Hotfoot Records
http://www.myspace.com/novemberkills

4. Phase 9 - this is the type of music you can see going huge one day (and they soon will be, you better get on the train with them soon or you will regret it). Catchy, heavy rock. Little screamo. HUGE talent. And they produce and record their own music. It will BLOW YOU AWAY. Promise
Label: Unsigned (soon to be signed to Capitol Records)

5. Envy Arcadia - if you ever met these guys, you would never believe they create the music that they do. This is some very unique music, it can't really be described. Group it together with rock if you wish, but make sure you check out "Fear of Flying."
Label: Unsigned

6. Kidnap Tonight - they've just started up but they will soon be very well known. Very tight, very talented, VERY catchy. You will want to know about this band.
Label: Unsigned

7. Endwell - Hardcore from NYC. The guitar work of these guys makes me go wild. Their energy is amazing, their show is downright enjoyable. Check it.
Label: Unsigned

So let's hear the comments. Let's try not to be negative. I would really like to hear everyone's opinions on these bands. Which one is your favorite and why?
