Local Music

[alixthetree]

Lately I've been really obessesed with smaller and local bands. Basically the ones that aren't played on the radio. It just seems like stuff on the radio gets so over played that in the beginning the songs are good but just end up really annoying (and sorry if I offend anyone because their favorite artist might be someone I'm talking about).

One of my favorites is a group called The Pheonix Philosphy, and they're from Minnesota. https://www.facebook.com/?sk=lf#!/thephoenixphilosophy

Is anyone else finding that they feel similar about radio music vs. non-radio music?

I also quite like local bands that no one knows of or not so local bands that no one knows of. The best band I can find is Not So Lucky, no one hardly knows them but they are great. Check them out

I am a huge fan of local music. Pretty good bands ^^^^
Where I'm from, we have a lot of good bands just starting out. Then Falls Caesar, Absolute Ruin, The Scandals (NJ), Goodnight Bravado are a few of my favorite from my area of Jersey.

I checked them out and I like them, they actually remind me a lot of a band that I used to listen to all the time. Sing It Loud, though they broke up about a year ago to go do different things.

Haha and actually I just checked out the info for them and I'm following one of the members on Twitter, I knew they looked familiar.

Colin Hunter. Seen him (and chilled with him) a few times and he's always great live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnPQdec_axY

Culann. A kind of prog-rock group with too many influences in one song to name. Very tight live. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QAyl-XrFj4

These are very local. There are countless Scottish bands I could name and share but these guys are from nearby.

There are a few local bands in my area that are pretty decent. They play a few times every month or so and they are a huge hit with the high school kids around here.

I love coming across bands or artists people haven't heard of.
For example, The Runaway State. I absolutely love him.

I honestly think everyone goes though this feeling at one point in there lives, So I have had it before, But that feeling has passed, I just listen to music that sounds good to me regardless of how popular they are.

I listen to the music that I like but I find that when I'm searching for music to listen to, I'd much rather listen to the things that I don't know versus the ones that I do because they're on the radio. There are a few songs from the radio that I rather do enjoy. Good meets Bad- Lighters, is one of my personal faves right now.

I went to Headstock music festival today and there was a guy called Sam Garrett on one of the small stages. He was amazing. Not even kidding.
I got a picture with him and he was so lovely.
