The Band/Album That Represents Yr Neck Of The Woods

[lookitssam]

I’m from the Baltimore/D.C. area, so there are alot of bands around these parts. Although D.C. is kinda known forthe hardcore scene in the 80s, I probably identify more with bands like Unrest.

They were a good band.A little different than other DC area bands.Teenbeat was a good label though I don`t much about their current roster these days.Versus is my favorite of all the bands on that label.

ive been in new orleans for a year now. this is a real musical place.. id have to say Dr John is the musical m.c. of New Orleans , i seen him walking around the french quarter before and he was nice and even said welcome to New Awlins!! if your looking for something indie youd have to check out Cowboy Mouth, they sound pretty dang cool..

New Orleans is one of the most musical cities of the world.It boggles my mind just to think of all the musicians from there:Jelly Roll Morton,Louis Armstrong,Sidney Bechet,Fats Domino,Neville Bros,the Marsalis family,etc. and of course Dr John.Ever hear that Bluesiana Triangle band he was in?The first album came out in 1990 and it was Dr John teaming up with Art Blakey and David Fathead Newman(who used to play with Ray Charles).Blakey died not long after and a few others joined in on later records.

and seeing as there are more people in an american subway than in the whole of norway I guess I could throw in kaizers orchestra, though they´re from the southwest of the country.

Hahaha… sadly, most people around here would think so.

That reminds me… I was once having a discussion about the Boston-area music scene, and somebody actually told me that "no good bands have ever come out of Massachusetts." What?!?! Hmmmmm… DJ, Pixies, Buffalo Tom, Blake Babies, Lemonheads, Mission of Burma, Letters to Cleo, Throwing Muses… yeah, nobody ever came out of Boston.

Don’t forget Piebald. Those guys are pretty dope.
