A band called Here's My Chance. They're from Des Moines, Iowa. Not exactly groundbreaking or anything, but fun pop-punk. Decent live as well.
The Happy Chromosomes- Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Not a huge fan myself, but I'll throw them out there anyway. I seem to be in the minority of not liking them so check them out.

Check out the Takeover UK. I was so surprised to hear they're from Pittsburgh because their sound is so British. I recommend them if you like British rock music. I love they're song "ah la la" because it's so catchy.

Haven't thought about them in awhile. Good tunes.

And though he moved to the UK, check out Julian Velard. He used to be on the NYC circuit and he and my band crossed paths a few times. I always loved his shows. He's sensational.

[Travbag]

Via Coma- www.myspace.com/viacoma

Very talented indie band out of Lafayette CA, in the vein os As Tall As Lions, TREOS, The Dear Hunter & little bits of Radiohead

[TurbulentCo]

Anybody know any Chicago up and comers. I'm a little out of the loop, but every new one I hear turns me off. It was great when there was june(rip), junior varsity(rip), academy is, audition, fall out boy, knockout(rip), 504 plan(rip), three fold(rip), divide by zero(rip), the local scene(rip), hush sound, spitalfield(rip), much the same(rip), and october fall(rip)l playing local shows every weekend.

[TurbulentCo]

And I'd say Empires are a good local band right now, but they are already pretty big.

[dayvie]

Wave Machines (http://www.myspace.com/mywavemachine) from Liverpool, UK. Produced one of the best albums of the year, IMO.

These guys are just starting to 'make it', but they still deserve all the attention they get.

[Ryan Javery]

I live in New Albany Ohio so I'll post some of our better bands.

The Great Big-Really like these guys, all like juniors and sophomores but really good shit. Most indie rock stuff

The Steady Jesters- These guys are legendary at my school. There music isn't half bad but what sells them is there AMAZING stage show. Seriously these guys put on a better show then a ton of signed artists, and they just graduated. If you ever get the chance haul ass to the show cause they will blow your mind. Like Funk Metal. Really good and diverse.

Parallel- Really cool grungy type band. Have this amazing chick on vocals bring some class to whole act.

Mandortory self promotion- The Company. Punk pop goodness
