Local Love
Here are some local bands that I find to be pretty good. I really should be doing homework, but naaaah. |
| 1 |  | I Made You Myself
Your Life Is Complete
Only band to actually be already in the database.
Post-hardcore/melodic hardcore

| 2 |  | Black Nail
Black Nail
I was extremely happy to hear that our little scene had a screamo band in its midst.
Emoviolence/screamo

| 3 |  | Awe Howler
Living With Spiders
Sadly, this album is not anywhere digitally anymore probably due to the band feeling it no longer represents their sound. I got it on vinyl a few days ago and it's really pretty good. Imagine Cloakroom meets Mineral meets Deja Entendu era Brand New. Their other stuff is good too, but not nearly as good as this.
Emo/post-hardcore/alternative rock

| 4 |  | Shallow Graves
Blessed Are The Dead That The Rain Falls On
Breaks the overly simplistic hardcore mold that often plagues local bands with some variation and technicality, but far from perfect. One of the few local hardcore bands I enjoy. Just played their last show on Saturday.
Hardcore/metalcore/progressive

| 5 |  | Short Lived
Break Me
Another hardcore bands that don't quite sound like all the rest. They have some cringey breakdowns at times, but overall, a pretty solid hardcore band that follows more along the lines of straight up punk at times.
Hardcore/punk/melodic hardcore

| 6 |  | The Native Woods
Some Big Game
These guys broke up a little while ago, which is a real shame due to that they had some pretty good potential for highschool students.
Alternative rock/psychedelic/groove
Only band here actually on Spotify |
| 7 |  | Unorthodox (IL)
Kodmeigz
Friend of mines' little project that's pretty cool
Expermiental/ambient/drone
