That Fay Wrays album is pretty damn good \m/
And that's as far as I've gotten so far... :p
EDIT: False Idle are pretty cool too - good ol' fashioned (well, 90s) so-cal hardcore. Takes me back to my teens :)

I found Woodson last night. Amazing band.

Strange Seasons sounds amazing.

LOCAL BANDS!

i am working on putting together a 4 part compilation series of local bands from each of the United States time zones!

Part 1: WESTERN
Part 2: MOUNTAIN
Part 3: CENTRAL
Part 4: EASTERN

the purpose of this FREE digital-only compilation is for music lovers to discover up and coming local bands from around the country, as well as for bands to get their music out there to new people.

if you or your band would like to participate in this, please send an email to YNFBrecords@hotmail.com with the song you'd like to put on it, as well as a link to your website (facebook/bandcamp/myspace/whatever) and PLEASE include which US state you are from. US BANDS ONLY!

if you have any questions, either e-mail me, PM me here, or just reply to this thread.

DISCLAIMER: There is no guarantee that every band will be included.

IMPORTANT!!! I am no longer accepting submissions from EASTERN region bands! I will start sorting through all the bands from that region and respond to all the bands that i choose to put on.

if you are in the Pacific, Mountain, or Central regions, please submit! the sooner we get all the slots filled up, the sooner this compilation series can be released!

please send an MP3 or WAV to YNFBRecords@hotmail.com

Ghost Town definitely has something good going on they just need a lil something to stand out better. Check out strange sessions though they are sweet!

The Ashbury, generally has a more experimental/pop-punk sound kind of like moving mountains or fall of troy meets blink-182, Damsel is an acoustic track of theirs
