what's the music scene like in your area?

[The Naitch]

Vancouver has the Jazz and Emo stuff going on

[FakeLaser]

New Jersey = emo capital of the universe

[Funky Fly]

Edmonton produced Nickleback. Sorry. :-\

[Funky Fly]

And I guess Lansing has 4378456786 kids who all think they are the greatest MCs since Biggie and 2Pac.

[ron the dial]

From the nearest area, a bunch of crap emo/screamo/bullshit. But Chicago has a solid hip-hop scene (Lupe Fiasco, Rhymefest, and Common), and always has some decent rock going on.

[Funky Fly]

Yeah, Chicago's got a hot rap scene.

[El Fangel]

Rap, Hiphop, R&B, Emo

...Constantly. :mad:

[Skippord]

Emoqueers

[Silent]

Haven't found any bands in my town, but I know Atlanta has a big variety.

[Gertner]

rap and rock but the dance music scene is growing rapidly :)

[jindrak]

NYC- hip-hop is most dominant, imo

[HeartBreakMan2k]

Honestly we've got a pretty good club scene. Tons of good DJs, great for a hip hop head. We just had Little Brother pretty much exploded (actually used to hang with them all the time) and a ton of other up and comers. THANKFULLY, it's real hip hop. Like, genuine lyricist as opposed to the pop club bullshit.

[MVP]

Basically everything

Piebald tonight :heart:

[Stickman]

It's a bit of a pain in the ass for me to drive to downtown vancouver to enjoy the music scene. But I do follow my brother's rock band around. They're nothing huge but have incredible talent.

[M-A-G]

Mainly whatever plays on the radio: Country, hip-hop/R&B, Tejano.

[Avenger]

would love to live in a Jazz area.

[ct2k]

Liverpool/Merseyside:

The Beatles
John Peel (DJ but still, hugely influential)
Gerry and the Pacemakers
Echo and the Bunnymen
The La's
Cast
The Boo Radley's
The Zutons
The Coral
Lightning Seeds
The Real Thing
Apollo 440
Frankie Goes to Hollywood
Space


And various others

[Avenger]

Yeah Liverpool has given us some great bands.

Manchester the place for music in England IMO, though.

[Avenger]

.

[ct2k]

I also just remembered that Liverpool produced Carcass:cool:

[Triple A]

Yonkers is like 95% "hip hop" I guess.

NYC is pretty "indie".

[Hornicane]

Toledo's pretty much just got a bunch of generic pop-punk/emo/screamo/pseudo-hardcore bands that apparently think that the 'Toledo scene' is to be the next huge thing in rock music.

Not so much.

[ct2k]

I thought Yonkers was full of Guidos and Micks:?:

[James Steele]

Country, Folk Rock, Emo shit

[Boomer]

Athens is a pretty huge music scene. Tons of indie bands playing all the time. It is a college town after all.

[Rammsteinmad]

EVERY band in my area is the same as the Artic Monkeys/The Killers/Franz Ferdinand whatever... I don't mind this, but what bothers me is that half the bands (who know me anyway) say that we're a Dream Theater clone... and they're not?! :mad:

[Impeccable]

Yeah Liverpool has given us some great bands.

Manchester the place for music in England IMO, though.

I that both Liverpool and Manchester have given great bands, but I live in Sheffield and can honestly say, the music scene around here at the moment is ready to BURST!

[Avenger]

[Avenger]

I reccomend Closer to the Start, Last Night I Nearly Died or I Let You Down (Like a Tonne Weight) but that is a matter of opinion. They are all great songs.

[Avenger]

ECG will hopefully back me up here.

[Crippla]

It varies so much over here.

[AdrianM]

lol, i live in Canberra, Australia. We have maybe one venue for live music.

The only famous top artists to come out of here are sarah Blasko. I seriously can't think of any others.

i am from Melbourne originally though, and they've had some good bands come out of there

[Kane Knight]

Edmonton produced Nickleback. Sorry. :-\

I will destroy you for that.

Windham has mostly folk, blues, and country. It's not far from Greenfield, Northampton, etc., which all feature better rock. Pear Street does rock, punk, emo, blues, folk, and even some metal acts.

[Zelda]

A bit of everything. Rock, punk, hip-hop and dance/techno music.However, since a lot of the music is in French, it is not really well known out of Quebec. We still had bands like The Arcade Fire have some success outside of the province.

[Kane Knight]

I think most of the french acts that WRSI (Northampton Radio Station) plays are out of your area. The ones I've looked up all have.

[redoneja]

I live close to DC so the music scene there is famous for the Hardcore genre(and its derivatives) and go-go(a derivative of funk music) which is like a fusion of hip-hop and dance.

[St. Jimmy]

Detroit Rap (Horrorcore/Ganksta) and HARDCORE =/

[mitch_h]

A lot of screamo type stuff, nothing really worth mentioning, aside from some good electronic acts like The Junior Boys and Manitoba/Caribou
