Cam Jones Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Do you live in an area with an evolving music scene? I sure do.

PopTodd Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I'll try to do this without spamming for my own band Paper Airplane PilotsPitch-perfect power pop. Hits all the right buttons for the genre. They're friends of mine, (former) labelmates, and also a damn good band that has made a fan of me. Check out "She's Magnetic" if you wanna hear something super sweet. The Flavor ChannelDefunct for some 13 years or so now. (Damn time flies!) But still one of the more-interesting pop bands to fly under the radar in Chicago. I loved these guys. M.O.T.O.M.O.T.O. MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!(that's all you really need to know.)

u2roolz Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Happening not too far from Portland, Maine = I'll let you in on a little secret: the alt-country/rockabilly revival in New England. Here's some local bands (at least local to me): The Molenes: http://www.themolenes.com/mp3s/04%20Hot%20Damn%20copy.mp3 Girls Guns & Glory: The Autumn Hollow: The Autumn Hollow The Bean Pickers Union: The Bean Pickers Union Mike MacDonald & The Widow Makers: Live Video Dave Sammarco Band: MP3 links They Will Hate Us: The Vinyl Squares: Myspace page (big Everly Brothers influence) Patrick Dunn: Brendan Murphy: Myspace Page Eric Lichter: (not from New England but based out of New Jersey. His recording studio & indie label is called Dirt Floor Records where some of these bands go and record) iTunes Link Bryan Pero & The Tired Horses: Myspace page (one of my best friends and I have documented a lot of his live shows. Not as 'twangy as some of the above bands) Edit: Oops! Our own MeDave has his own band called The Rationales that I should add to the list: Official Site Maybe I should have just sent this very comprehensive link for the perennial New England Americana Festival: NEAF Lots of direct links in there to band sites etc...
