Favorite Local Bands

[MikeH]

I figured we should have a thread on your favorte local bands from your area. And by local, I mean bands that still play in the local scene. Like if you're from Des Moines, Slipknot does not count as a local band. So let's begin!

Mine would have to be both of m friends' bands.

Beyond the Blight:

and

The Hour of Betrayal:


Yes, I know. Probably not everyone's niche, but still fun to go out to the shows and mosh with them.

Zico Chain

They played at Download and have been on Kerrang and Scuzz, but lay local a lot still. Sorta Nirvana/QOTSA etc.

Calgary bands that I dig are:

Exit Strategy is a pretty cool band. They play techy deathgrind that still has some sweet groove. 7 string content in here.


Snake Mountain play instrumetal that is both spacey and crushing. They packed it in this year which is too bad cause they were a great band.


Kataplexis are another death metal band. Tons of groove, brutal vocals and the drummer is a beast.


I Die Screaming play technical sweepy grind. They are a 3 piece consiting of drums, guitars, vocals and they are pretty cool.


Caveat play progressive metal. Great musicians, great songs. 3 out of 4 dudes in this band play in Exit Strategy. Caveat also decided to call it a day recently.


There is a band called Akakor that play crazy fast, complex, crushing deathmetal. They are recording right now and I hope they get some recordings up soon because the videos on their myspace don't do them justice. They have a 6 string and a 7 string guitar player and the bass player plays a 6 string bass and does a shit ton of cool tapping stuff.


Ahnabith Gish play experimental rock/post-rock. They just recorded a new album that is phenomenal. I have only heard it a few times so far and it will probably be one of my tops for the year.

And two of them have now formed Phantom Limb with Tempered's former drummer!! Be on the lookout for them when they're ready.

I also enjoy from Calgary:

Divinity

Agreed. I played a show with 'em in august. Awesome live show! Wearing their shirt right now actually haha.

favourite locals: The Synaesthetic Not really metal, but awesome/creepy rock with dual guitar harmonies. I'd recommend "third degree".

 

[gunshow86de]

Scale the Summit!

I don't think they are all from Houston, but they have centralized (I guess you could call it that?) in Houston. And they definitely still play local shows, at less than $10 a ticket!



There's another band, I wish I could remember their name, they used to open all the Roadrunner metal shows that came to town. They were quite funny and nu-metalish. Their best song was a metal version of the chicken pot pie song.

i don't think you guys will like their music though
but these are my favorite local bands. We don't have too much variety in vegas mostly metalcore or emo/screamo

 

[Pamplemousse]

We don't have a big metal scene here. If I want to see some good shows I need to go to Montreal (2hrs from here)
At least we have those guys.

 

[brahminlead]

Jean Grey-Technical deathcore. Pretty groovy. myspace.com/jeangreymusic
