Bands from your hometown(area)?

[MadMan118]

What bands(not counting local bands, that's kinda of a given) do you know that are from your hometown or near by area? Do you like them or not? There's no bands that I know out of Barrow, Alaska so I'll go with 36 Crazyfists, originally from the Anchorage/Keani area. Awesome band btw.

[sobie18]

Manowar from Auburn, NY

 

[Loki182]

Chimera

 

[mellowgerman]

Buffalo, NY

The Goo Goo Dolls --> not that into them, but I think they're definitely a solid band
Every Time I Die ----> don't like their music at all

 

[gr1000]

well theres
the crannberries- pretty good
and the horslips- very good
from limerick, ireland

 

[jchrisk1]

All American Rejects, The Flaming Lips, just to name a couple. I don't care much for any of them though. The country music list is too long and i don't like country. But, my favorite, is the late great Waymon Tisdale.

 

[JoZac21]

I'm from Brooklyn, NY, so there are too many to list, but the members of Candiria grew up within a 4 block radius of me... their pretty okay.

 

[bassteban]

Papa Roach- from Vacaville(NOT Sacramento as sometimes claimed- like being from Sac as opposed to VV is SO much more legit ).

 

[retardedpossum]

Marshall Tucker Band from Spartanburg SC

 

[ggunn]

I live in Austin, TX. It's a pretty long list.

 

[KFrost2008]

My Morning Jacket is from Louisville, Ky which is the biggest band in the area to get big by far. They did a free show at a record store called ear-X-tacy and you couldn't get in 2 hours before the show. It was rather insane.

 

[Joey3313]

Belvedere, Chixdiggit, Tegan and Sara.

 

[Deluge Of Sound]

Portland has a long list of great bands.

 

[bmc]

Phil Collins lives about 20 minutes from the house. Shania Twain lives about an hour away.

 

[tycobb73]

Pop Evil.

I could take them or leave them.

I live in chicagoland so its def a long list, but to shorten it I'll just say bands that come from my county, which narrows it down to two bands and a singer, that I know of, lol.

The death metal band Oceano(which I actually played a couple shows with cack in my metal days), most probly never heard of em tho.

The defunct band Five Pointe 0, Once again probly never heard of em but they broke up just on the cusp of being huge, I forgot why. They had a single on the original resident evil soundtrack and it had some good radio play as well then they just broke up, they're trying to come back as a band called Zillion now.

Lastly, Lionel Richie attended high school in my town, my grandma went to school with him actually, he was born in Tuskegee tho.

Now, a lil list of my fave chicagoland bands: Disturbed, Mudvayne, Chevelle, Smashing Pumpkins, and Alkaline Trio. (Oh, and fallout boy is from around here too but I dont like them so much)

 

[Rock-Bassman]

I live near Boston, so Aerosmith and Godsmack... both are great!

 

[lowendfriend]

My wife says she remembers Joe Perry driving around Milford, MA with a Fender bassman in his backseat.

I live near Boston, so Aerosmith and Godsmack... both are great!

And Boston, too, right? Or are they from Detroit? ;^)
