[dubby]

WASHINGTON DC scene: check out "SEE-I" www.see-i.com
these guys do alot of vocal work for Thievery Corporation and have just released debut solo stuff. If ya are into downtempo and dub you will dig it 4sure.

[Joshdude]

8-Bit
http://www.ninjastarrecords.com/

They just did the Hell Yes EP for Beck (remixes of songs from his unreleased album), but they are still pretty small time. Their stuff is pretty funny.

[Funkyjive88]

This is a smooth band out of Michigan thats tons of fun to see live. There are 6 free songs and some short samples under the music link. I would highly recommend "Waiting for the Summer".

About an hour away, but it is my brothers friends band. www.introspectrock.com

some mp3's from my band's debut CD:

http://www.crashingblue.com/media.html

[pohatu771]

Cloning Friday (http://www.freewebs.com/cf102)
Creation of Nothing (possibly broken up)

Neither one are serious, just garage bands. CON is pretty good though. CF thinks music is about drinking.

[Joshdude]

www.marcihall.com
My brother's the lead singer. They've got some sample tracks.

[mretzak]

www.lorettamusic.net (http://www.lorettamusic.net)

These guys are awesome. Influences include Radiohead and U2. They have sample tracks that are definitely worth a listen. I have the album "The Translation" and it is great all the way through. This would be a regular listen for me even if they weren't local. They've gotten some play on XM radio and in the backround on a couple of MTV's horrendous reality shows. On a side note... why does MTV frequently play good music (IMO) on their reality shows but stick to top 40 junk with their videos? Oh well, that rant is for another post...

[Phelpsy]

My Uncles band BOBNOXIOUS at bobnoxiousrock.com

and i went to high schol with the drummer of Uneven Ground who can be found at unevenground.ca

both have a few samples of their stuff online

[tuxedoroad]

Not a local band, but I absolutely love them anyway. Maybe if enough people in the US buy their album, theyll tour here.

Michael Kelsey is one of the most amazing guitar players you will ever see. He won Guitarmageddon last summer, he was the only guy playing an acoustic guitar. He played after Steve Vai.

His official site is www.michaelkelsey.com

There's a fan site with mp3's and videos at www.michaelkelsey-fans.com

See my website (admitted self reference) openingbands.com (http://www.openingbands.com) for a slew of local and regional band listings for the Central IL and Chicago IL areas... Feel free to submit your bands to our list especially if you play shows in the chicago or champaign areas!

Some of my favorites:

Lorenzo Goetz (http://www.lorenzogoetz.com)
Absinthe Blind (http://www.absintheblind.com)
The Pitch (http://www.thepitchingmachine.com)

And the place I started that website in, Champaign Illinois, was home to REO Speedwagon (oooh), and Hum (serious big OOH! but they're broken up)...

[hobo]

umm, we have an AMAZING band from my school, a group of High School seniors who make super music. It's amazing... these kids do covers of songs more musically (and stylishly) correct than the originals. They have been a band for over 5 years, and all have been playing for way longer than that time. Unfortunately, there is NO information about them online, odd because they've played local concerts and won contests and stuff.
They're called "I'm a loner, Dottie, A Rebel". I hate the name.

also, my band director's brass band (which is actually really cool) is at www.kingpinbrassband.com . It's a whole bunch of 20somethings that play brass instruments and make some hot hot music. The site is being built as we speak...

[Hogwild]

If you like Alanis Morisette, Fiona Apple, Natalie Merchant, Sarah McLachlin, Janis Joplin you will love Alyson Faith. I'm not friends or related to her in anyway, just a big fan of her music and local concerts.

OMG... I'm discovering so much great music going through this thread.

Imaginary Baseball League, and The Golden Sounds that meandthesea posted are brilliant. I live in Knoxville, I'll have to try to get out that way to see them some time.

[MattPaintballer]

The Killers came from here :D I can't say I like them though...

There's also a rock band called Magna-Fi they played with KoRn at a local concert. Again, can't say I like either band.

Well its not really a local band, but there's some good folk/rock at http://carbonleaf.com. There are about 30 or 40 songs for download. They also have some other songs on amazon.com.

Some of it sounds a bit like Dave Matthews...some is a bit more folksy.

[pohatu771]

I'll update mine...
Cloning Friday no longer exists... my friend, one of the members, has since had about three bands, none of which exist anymore.

The Creation of Nothing is, however, still playing together (though to a lesser extent, most members being in different, but local, colleges, with just one still in high school).

You can see them at creationofnothing.cjb.net

The Hoax is incredibly popular (more so than CON), using the tagline "Bergen Punk since 1999", but I don't know their web address.

Or, if you don't mind my advertising myself, I play solo and with anyone else my songs (or covers, for charity events) may require, as In Name Only. I'm on MySpace (not that I update it very often), but there's a recording for download of just me playing Folsom Prison Blues at the Batavia VA Medical Center.

Self-promotion's a good thing! Nothing to be ashamed of.

It's too bad the people who run this site don't agree with you...ie, signature lines here are worthless.

[McStrum]

We offer all our iPod friendly mp3's of our instrumental music for free download from our website. You can remix, edit, cut, smashup, trashup and anything you want just turn us on to what you create so we can enjoy it. We are currently working on our second release of songs but you can always get all our previous cutz for free download.

We do not create music in any one style, we just create what we feel at the time. Jazz, trance, blues, rock, hard rock, country, rap, fusion, spoken word and anything else we can get our hands on influences us and how we create. Our second disc will have totally different kinds of music on it, working on a new track that is based off of some tribal drums and a pink floyd influence, but also doing an original cover of Cateloupe Island. There is also a more Sabbath/Dixie Dregs cut in the works, so in short we have no set style.

The Dejunair Project (http://www.dejunair.com) will also be posting our raw tracks in ogg and wav format for free download in the future for anyone to use and/or remix.

Enjoy,
McStrum

[Instar]

From San Luis Obispo, CA, California is a band called Instar. It's a "nom-de-Rock" of Karl von Kries' studio recording project, and the name of his live band when he plays out with other musicians.

Check out Instar website at http://www.instarmusic.com. A bunch of songs under a Creative Commons license are given away for free at http://www.instarmusic.com/music.html.

The band is working on their third film with New York animator Pat Smith (see http://www.patsmith.com ). You can check out some clips on the video page at http://www.instarmusic.com/videos.html.

Hope you like it.

If you've been craving something new yet something that recalls a shadow of a ghost of the past, you have found it here.

[patrickrlewis]

I do a daily show that does nothing but highlight emerging unsigned artists from around the country.

Here are a couple of the standouts we have featured or will be featuring recently:

Jealousy Curve (straight out rock from Philly) http://www.myspace.com/jealousycurve
Hotspur (PopRock from Baltimore) http://www.myspace.com/hotspur
The Fallen (Rock in the vien of Paramore from Philly) http://www.myspace.com/thefallenpa
John Taglieri (Singer/Songwriter from New Jersey) http://www.myspace.com/johntaglierimusic

[The Music Mag]

Two of the best bands i know personally in london:

Russell Joslin (http://www.themusicmag.com/unsigned-music/russell-joslin/)
- A wicked acoustic singer song writer. Really scratchy, unique voice

Oil On Canvas (http://www.themusicmag.com/unsigned-music/oil-on-canvas/)
- I really think they could have tunes on the radio, make people dance, and get a bit of buzz going about them. Their music is really fun.

[dirtpeach]

My best band award goes to Up Dharma Down. Here's (http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1644902,00.html) a review of their debut by Time magazine. You can sample their music here (http://www.myspace.com/updharmadown).

Both their albums are available on iTunes.
