We just have a fucking crazy hardcore scene.
There's a band called Face the Gallows getting kind of big.

And The Dayton Family, ha.
ANDDD Lakisha Jones from American Idol LOL

[kearn1tm]

We have this local band call The Pitchers who, unfortunately aren't gay, despite who misleading their band's name is. The lead singer suffered a stroke a month back, and as a testament to their integrity, didn't boot him out. Listening to him sing post-stroke is hilarious - his voice is not unlike a mentally retarded child fucking in an incinerator - and truly took a shitty Metalcore band into awesomeness.

So yeah, The Pitchers. Dudes are raw like sushi.

[FeynmanWannabe]

I was just in Newark about a week ago. Cool.
Hopefully more than just the airport (seeing as how that's not technically in Newark). Way to not get shot!

The Oddyssea and La Resistance

[kemichels]

Illinois/Southern Wisconsin

The Felix Culpa - Progressive/Indie Rock band...They are incredibly awesome and really talented musicians/writers. Plus, they're great guys and HUGE BATMAN NERDS (bat symbols on their amps...WIN).

If you can, check out their full length Commitment and their EP Thought Control. They've been mentioned in AP frequently and have played with Emery/AMPfest, etc. They have a new album coming up with a couple demos from it on their myspace...Check it.

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

2 live videos I took of them in my home town:
L4PZuqkjBwc

And acoustic...supposedly he had never played their songs acoustic before really, and their drummer broke his foot and they still wanted to play the show.

[theguy77]

who in the fuck taught you it was grammatically correct to use two question marks and put a space before the first one? stuff like that annoys me so much.

i know, i know, im one to talk for never capitalizing anything or using apostrophes. stfu im exercising my elitist muscle haha.

[kitti_katt420]

I stopped keeping up with the local scene here. Members of Hawthorne Heights, Hit the Lights and the Devil Wears Prada all grew up in towns within 20-50 miles of me, so naturaly becuase of where they got, every fucking band around aspires to sound like at least one of them. When I realized this, I just stopped caring.

[atticus1492]

Cunt Is What We Aim For

[tomakebelieve]

We have a few good gems.

Sing It Loud - they get a lot of hate on here, don't understand why. Pat Brown is an excellent frontman.
Http://myspace.com/singitloud

Camera Can't Lie - Reminds me of Switchfoot's catalog (especially during the Learning to Breathe era).
Http://myspace.com/cameracantlie

Lights out Dancing - heavily influenced by Valencia, imo. They've grown a lot musically in the last 6 months especially.
Http://myspace.com/lightsoutdancing

[chaosB4storm]

Attack in Black is a band from my area.

Yeeah, me too. My cousin is in the process of moving, so I'm just waiting on that. He found out his roommate was on drugs all the time and pretty much worthless, and my cousin works for the state so he had to get out of there.

That's understandable. It must really suck for him. I have a few friends down here who are in the same situation with their roommates. One is always on cocaine, and another is a complete stoner. Usually I've got nothing against weed, but she brings it to another level. Before work, she smokes a bowl. She gets home and the first thing she does is light one up. And then another. She repeats said process every single day. It's pretty bad.

I dunno, I have friends that do that too, 'round the clock, but it doesn't change anything. They're still fun, they don't want to just lie on a couch all the time like those anti-drug commercials that make me want to shoot someone hahah. But this roommate is doing much worse things, I don't know specifics, and my cousin can't take that risk by staying there.

Yeah, I've actually got a friend who does it too, every time I'm over there he's smoking, and he's a pretty awesome guy, stoned or not. but this girl is just like the anti-drug commercials. Her room is a mess, she's always late with the rent, she's been fired three times. I don't really think it's the weed though. Lazy people will probably always be lazy, weed or not. I'm not going to bitch too much about her though, because she always gives me free weed.

Aw, man, the anti-drug commercials are always hilarious.

It's good that your cousin is getting out of that mess, though.

Anti-Drug commercials are the funniest. Especially the one where the kid eats his hand because his friends told him to. They took the place of anti-gun commercials and the "I've fallen and can't get up" commercials as being hte best.

They make me want to go out and get drunk. Subliminal advertising by the liquor companies? I think so. Job well done.

[cscwell107]

We got a big hardcore scene here. The biggest band from mansfield is probably Outrun the Gun

They make me want to start taking drugs and break things. Just like that one commercial with the winona ryder lookalike (this is your brain on drugs). That commercial also had a badass cat clock now that I remember.

So I was in the car with my mom today and she goes "Have you ever heard of Street.... Streetli..... Streetlight..." "Streelight Manifesto, mom?" "Yeeeahhh! How'd you know?
