Small bands that you're in love with.

[Heroin Bob]

I got my free Quincy Shanks Sampler #5 last week (which you can get here). Right now I cant stop listening to Biscayne, Black Print, and The Brokedowns. All are fucking awesome bands.

Does anyone else have those really small time bands that you love?

[Skummy]

Hundreds and hundreds. I listen to more "small time" bands than majorly well-known bands, probably. At the moment I'm loving The Tiger Lilies, The Valentines, HOW TO TELL YrSELF FROM A TELEVISION, The Merge, Slo-Mo, 3 Stages Of Pain and Baby Dayliner, amongst others.

Depends what you mean by small time?

I like punk rock bands like Might As Well (Kind of poppy), Skyline Collapse (Fucking awesome) and pmx (THey're Scottish ).

I also like emo'ish/indie rock like Hudson River School, Before Braille (Awesome) and Kissing Chaos.

There's probably more, but I can't really think of them.

I don't think mellowdrone are that huge, but i love them.

[Stone Cold]

Sicks Deep - Viewers of Battle For Ozzfest may of heard of these because they were Kelly Abe's band. After watching Battle for Ozzfest i decided to check them out and just thought they were amazing. There are some songs downloadable from the website and also you can purchase there EP from CDBaby, i got it and it's definately worth it.

This local band Back-Up, who are a bit older than my band and friend's bands, and really set a decent standard. It's a hybrid of hip hop, metal and funk. Check them out at http://www.tunetribe.com/Artist?artist_id=4105

Aconite Thrill and, to a lesser extent, Sikth hardly sell and are another two awesome local-ish bands. For fans of Dillinger Escape Plan. thisGIRL are sort of similar as well, and really good. I think me and Colly brought them up in another thread.

[Guest Blade]

cross bone t, Optik, Akala & MC Venom

[Jook]

Depends what 'small' means I suppose.

Zelega and Visionstate are both amazing, they're both just starting out really.

Halitosis - Australian Nu-metal/alt band. I filmed a video with them at my work. Bought their LP and it's never left my CD case since

The Almaboobies - Hot chicks playing Rock. Just don't listen to their fucking skittles song.

[Guest Bas]

Starkweather aren't really well known, I suppose. They have been around for a long, long time though, and basically created the sound bands like Converge (as in, the Jane Doe album) et all play. Kind of noisy mathcore I suppose, but generalizing Starkweather really doesn't do them justice.

A link to their Myspace account, you can listen to a song off their new album, and some old songs. Their new album will be their first album in like ten years, as they actually had broken up.

The Cuban Heels are a fun local band, if not musical geniii, they're great for a night out
