What's the Music Scene like where you live?

[zakattak192]

Well, seeing as almost all the musicians in my town do nothing but sit around and smoke weed and do psychedelics, there's really just a bunch of drugged up hipster psychedelic rock bands like "Time Hitler and the Assholes from Space".

There IS one metal band though... Mortiferous...

Totally not my band... totally...

Shameless plug: Mortiferous | Facebook

 

[shreddanson]

pretty much the same except throw a bunch of CHRIST and GAWDUH along with some BREAKDOWNS and you have what it is today.

So, in essence, the same as it used to be.

Milwaukee's scene is a LOT of Deathcore bands, some metalcore, and then a few pop rock/pop punk bands.

The biggest bands (besides Misery Signals) are probably Sleep Serapis Sleep, Kingmaker, A Night at the Chalet, A Wretched Betrayal, Cain and Abel, and Micawber.

What I don't understand is some of those bands are unsigned, and they refuse to play a show if they arent guaranteed like 75 bucks. What the fuck is the point of that?

 

[Fabrizi0]

Here in vegas its horrible. Nothing but scene kid/HxC nonsense. I thought i was the only with this problem T_T aha!
though there is the occasional pop-rock meets indie bands out here too.

 

[LogolessGreenlieff]

Im from Ireland i have to disagree with the previous Irish poster on page 2. The music scene here is great, no matter what you're into. Whether it be Metal, Punk, Hardcore, progressive and all their sub genre's. The only problem is the lack of mid-sized venues around the country.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, there are some great bands in Ireland. I've had awful trouble finding talented and committed musicians, so my perspective is probably coloured. There is a severe shortage of drummers in general, too.

 

[Floppystrings]

non-existent

Or I choose not to acknowledge it...

 

[Repner]

Most of the bands I know in the Glasgow area tend to use more of an old school metal influence. Like everywhere though, you'll get your crap from time to time

 

[Deathstate]

My area fucking sucks. I live in Norwood, MA. I am in a blackened death sludge band.

Most bands around here (at least the ones around our age group, 18+) play "keynote" shows where they get scammed by booking agents and sell tickets for 10 a piece to their fans. They are all in clonecore faggot ass shitty breakdown core fuck shit ass poopy bands that suck and are not legit, they all interchange members and make the same stale ass anthems and dissonant chugs. Straight-edge-core is big, anything -core with gauges and big word shirts and shit is big, everyone sucks and thinks they are talented. And not to be a dick, but, they all suck like wicked terribly bad.

RI is the place where all the shows take place, and all the hardcore bands come from Mansfield on through attleboro into RI. I live in Norwood MA which is like not a music place and we are an ODD band out. trying to find shows in the boston area because im sick of rhode islands suckage

 

[SD83]

Not that bad. If it comes to the better known bands we got Long Distance Calling (which are great but about as far from mainstream as you can be without being totally unknow)

there's Neaera (not the type of bands that I would listen to at home, but their shows are fun)

and two of the (imo) best bands around, Nihilion

and In Disgrace

Non-metal scene... I have no idea. There's Spin my fate , but aside from them, I don't know anything.

 

[jackfiltraition]

the heavy scene scene is probably the most popular in my state and it's dominated by core. if you go to a concert, it usually goes a little something like this...
"chug chug chugga chug (singer encourages crowd to be violent rite before band shifts to a stupidly slow tempo and SURPRISE! its a breakdown!) "chuuug chuuug chuuuuga chug" (fight breaks out in crowd, band stops playing as the singer tells people to take care of each other while a 12 year old kid at his first gig get bashed by a group of strait edge hXc dancers for getting in their way) repeat 6 times and save the slowest break down for last and you have yourself a set! Honestly, I'm not trying to troll but there was a point in this town where the hardcore dancers were getting a bigger applause then any international band that's come through. When I'm onstage my favorite thing is to watch the skinny kids pacing back and forth in the pit waiting for a breakdown only for the song to go into a guitar solo and every time we play an actual killer RIFF they look like dogs being shown a card trick

 

[heineken_fretwalker]

So I will be the first to speak about Dallas. For the most part, it fucking sucks. As can be expected, there is a huge contingency of bands trying to be Pantera and failing miserably. There are, however, a few bands around here that are legitimately cool.

For example,
Color of Aum


Dei Aemeth (nevermind that short, curly haired Guatemalan dude warming my spot in this band )


One of my favorite bands ever who just happened to be from here and recently called it quits The motherfucking Famine


Serosia (not quite as heavy, but I dig their sound)

 

[Murmel]

Seriously? Which bands do you like? Or is it the tentacle porn you are after?

Tentacle porn is easily found in the interwebz.

I probably don't like any of the bands you're into if you like the standard ss.org stuff
9GOATS BLACK OUT, The Gazette, Dir En Grey, Mucc, Galneryus, Alice Nine, Radwimps, Kariyushi58, Acid Black Cherry, 9mm Parabellum Bullet, L'Arc En Ciel among others.

You should also be glad about your women... Japanese women man...




Fuck.

 

[Ben.Last]

Sacramento had a really great scene around the turn of the century. There were a lot of really great, different, original bands around here. Then the whole thing just imploded and, now, there's jack shit around here. I'm pretty sure there's some indie rock bands and such around, but it's kind of depressing.

 

[linchpin]

Dead

 

[BIG ND SWEATY]

well for the 630 in illinois theres unreckoned a shitty hardcore band my friends band villains they play like djentcore, iguess thats what you could call it, and other various straight edge bands and -core and suicide silence wannabes.
OH and hipsters lots and lots of hipsters.
me and my friends are really the only ones who listen to stuff that doesnt only have breakdowns in it

 

[fps]

thriving indie rock scene, lots of live music at all times, lots of open mic, some jazz too.

metal? too many bands, not enough fans.

 

[FrancescoFiligoi]

I think it's pretty good here, and getting better

 

[Ibanezsam4]

everything is providence sounds like this shit



these's a few good bands, like Howl



but they're pretty few and far between. the closest good music scene is in Massachusetts close to Worchster. cool bands like Necronomichrist and Nemecide are up there. but its not my scene

there's an ok hip hop scene in prov... but i always fear that if i were to start a band we wouldn't get a following cuz we wouldn't sound like the first video

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

I'm quite fortunate to live in Melbourne. So many great bands are here. Though it does have it's ups and downs.

 

[Dan_Vacant]

there is a bit of every thing in st clair county but most people i talk to want to do a metalcore band :/
but there is rod modell who had lot of projects and he is a family friend
