Local Music in your area

Town in Sweden called Gävle. Big metal town tons of bands around.

Not the best in town but I know one of the guitarist who joined a while back after this video was made.

We have local acts like this in Chicago, and some of them are actually really good. Not many people show up though, and people kinda just look at them like they are sad and pathetic.

>>71529415
That looks fucking awesome btw. Literally dream about playing gigs like these guys do in thier music video.

we used to have a band called toilet fetus in the hampton roads area. they were meh but here's their song assphyxiation

It's really sad bro, the magic of rock n roll has died for alot of people :'(

Working hard playing in two newly formed bands myself to try and revive it somehow.

>>71529625
>magic of rock has died for a lot of people

I think that's it. Why is that? It seems like local rock/metal aren't making music that connects to anybody.

Like the link I posted, that band isn't amazing or anything, but people were really excited. You can tell that they felt like they were apart of something really cool. That does not exist anymore.

>>71529597
I had a local band when I was younger in Chicago and we had shows like that. 100+ people would show up and scream our lyrics and stuff. It was really exciting.

If I tried to make a band and do something like that today, people would roll their eyes and laugh.

I'm in Seattle and the music scene is pretty good.

Everyone listens to Grime in my area. No live bands ether.

>>71529747
That's one of the few spots where the music scene is always doing well.

I saw The Fall of Troy there a few years ago, was pretty cool.

>>71529712
Fuck, it's makes me really bummed out. I still have hope though. There are some new bands that still have that spirit in thier concerts. Take death grips for example. Like them or not, thier live shows are bloody warzones y'know.

I live in Mexico. Nothing happens here.

>>71529894
>death grips

Yeah I don't like them but they definitely have that old energy, like people are excited. They have that edgy dangerous vibe that people dig.

They were also innovative. We have barely had any innovation in music in the last few years, or at least not any innovation that actually excited people.

Boston here, everything fucking sucks, there's no night life, every local band that plays basically just invites their circle of friends and they all leave when they're done playing. You would think that the city with the most colleges in it would have some sort of scene, especially since we have Berklee and the New England Conservatory of Music. But no, they're just pretentious fart sniffing cliques that look down upon everything you don't do that they did when they were kids being forced to do music.

Except for Wally's jazz club. That place is the shit.

music scene here is kinda small but unique
some bands mix local folk music with experimental pop sound

Live in Downey, CA. The major music acts in this town are cover bands of old 50's and 60's hits being played by old people. Everything else is really bad metalcore.

Everything around me, like Long Beach or LA, it's just this psychy garage rock stuff that I'm not really into and isn't really all that good to begin with. It seems everyone wants to be the next Strokes, or Growlers or something like that, which sucks since that means I can't find anyone to make music with that have similar tastes as me.

They don't even play anymore do they?

Buenos Aires here, share some music anon! Also, what bands did Scaruffi review?

>>Yup. They broke up a couple years ago.

>>71530034
Yeah I you can't tell exactly what it is but it is that dangerous feel almost. I think singers are really important in this matter since they best capture the human emotions in the music. And having a singer going out of his mind with emotional energy gets the people moving.

>just gotta know where to look

Exactly. That's what I'm saying. The local music is heavily divided and hidden away to different parts of the internet. Most of it is gay as fuck too. You have:

>tumblr feminists playing female folk
>skinny white balding guys in flannel shirts playing self-hating "indie" rock
>a few gay as fuck beatdown hardcore bands
>some Black Twitter tumblr-ish rappers
>the old classic metal bands that are just pathetic now (Sworn in, barrier, Rooks ect.)

The women who show up to all of these things are Columbia art students with black lipstick and a septum ring, and the guys are nu-males. And they're all retarded faggots who inject far-left politics into every single thing they do/say/think.

Like people are not excited/proud of local music anymore. Shit really fell apart between 2012/2013

Im not into this kinda shit but they have a following here.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_oaS2JNHvE

>>71530058
Yep sounds a litle bit like here.

It's because the bands who are playing don't actually love music, and the people showing up don't actually love listening to music.

Punk scene in Cincinnati used to be pretty tight.

Amherst MA

>> Despite massive success and full attendance, every open mic night has died off
>> Occasionally local bands play small shows. This would be nice if they had a fucking clue how to market themselves but I guess that's not cool and indie enough
>> Was invited to a concert at a local college party house, upon arrival I realize it's just a "dj" playing his iTunes playlist with a turntable that isn't even plugged in

>>71530426
Catchy/comfy, really bad image though

>>71529415
you know this music video isnt real, right?

>>71530375

Yeah, basically. It's about keeping up appearances. And everyone works early in the morning so they can't be out too late. Even if they were the subway stops running right after midnight.

Where are you talking about?

>>71530654
Chicago.

I mean, there's always been people who are just playing music and attending shows for image or to post about it on social media. No big deal. But the problem is that those are the ONLY people involved in music now.

I know this because none of the bands practice their instruments. They have a bunch of pedals/a vintage-ish guitar/faggy tattoos/undercut and then do a far-left rant in between songs.

They get barely mediocre at their instruments and then stop trying. The rest is just image.

The worst part is that they are not interesting people. They haven't had interesting life experiences, they don't have anything unusual to say, they don't read books (unless it's part of their far-left bullshit), and they don't have any interesting hobbies.

Idk, in my opinion, music (even underground) is in a crisis. The musicians are faggots and the concert-goers are faggots.

It's not that I'm wearing nostalgia glasses and ranting about how "music ain't like it was in the old days!" or some shit. If I ever hear an album that I like, I usually find that it was written before 2011

>>71530632
Usually a band will say "hey we're filming a video for our song, if you know the lyrics, show up and you can be in the video". Then after that they'll play a few songs and leave.

But besides that, most of the local shows I used to go to were just like the video. I even used to play in a band where we had a lot of people showing up who knew our lyrics and were stoked.

>>71530316

Haven't been to any DIY/Collective shows in a while so I don't know who's doing what or what spaces are still up and running. I used to go to quite a few show in the Pilsen/Little Village area back in the day. (Think maybe four years ago or so) Got to be a lot of back stabbing and in fighting in recent years. I don't want to get involved in scene politics or gossip.

Now I just look for any open mikes that will allow punk rock and let me get on stage and play my music audience be damned!

>>71531029
Yeah four years ago the scene was still doing ok but that's definitely when the type of people showing up started turning into retarded drama kings/queens.

>>71530126
what kind of music are you trying to make? i've lived mainly in west la and sfv and i've always managed to find every kind of genre you could think of going on around la.

i do agree with you on that whole garage rock trend though, growlers were almost over so many times (i have friends who knew some of the guys), but business picked up and a bro's gotta eat you know? i'd be lying if I said i wouldn't do the same thing.

>>71530316
Just gotta know where to look is right. Heads up though, it won't be at subterranean.

Chicago has a rich history of awesome industrial and house music, an active hip hop community and a handful of non embarrassing metal bands. The shit posted in this thread makes me glad I graduated high school like 15 years ago because I can't stomach this shit.

>>71529415
I live in Southampton, UK. It's a city so naturally it has quite a range of venues but when I first moved here I thought the music scene was a bit shite. I've since found out I was wrong, there are lots of comfy bars and gig venues hidden around town with some great alternative music. There's one I like in particular where people sit in a comfy as fuck lounge as just jam with strangers on the huge variety of instruments there. There's a good funk/soul bar next door too. A lot of young people like myself going there which is nice to see, but if I hadn't stumbled across it while out on a walk I would have never known it existed.

In terms of what local bands play, unfortunately it tends to be boring run-of-the-mill indie rock bands which dominate the venues. No big artists who have risen up the ranks from the city in a while as far as I know too, the last to have considerable success being Craig David, which is a bit embarrassing.

We do get the mega artists playing in the city centre on their UK tours because it is a major part of the south coast of England, but I rarely go to those types of gigs anyway.

you would think living so close to nyc there would be something decent

Denver here. Most of the scene here is just OK. It's very lively, but it's mostly hipster folk-rock, generic pop rock, or 90's style all rock that would have sounded outdated even in the 90's.

You do get some real good acts come out of it, one punk band I saw a year or two ago called the potato pirates was pretty alright, and of course we get acts like Candy Claws come through every now and then (they're from further north, but it counts fuck you).

>>71531559
What's living in Denver like?

I've been thinking about moving to Colorado Springs to be close to the mountains.

>>71529747
ay im moving there in may what's it like?

>>71531646
It's nice, but its not cheap. I'm living in an apartment in the suburbs at the moment. Denver is farther from the mountains than the springs, so mountain stuff like hiking, hunting, or skiing is all a day trip. Other than that, the city itself is nice and there's usually stuff to do outside, which is ironic since I spend most of my day inside.

I wish it would rain here more too. If you move here get ready for constant sunshine with not many cloudy days.

Pretty good music scene in Perth, Western Australia, still suffering the fallout of Tame Impala's success but some neat punk and garage bands scattered amongst the Impala clones

I'm in Perth, Western Australia and if you ignore the wannabe Matt Corby types down in Fremantle there's a pretty good psychedelic rock sorta thing going on (I mean Tame Impala being an example of one that got incredibly huge) and a healthy experimental underground community.

>>71529415

Austin was amazing last year. I don't have any favorites this year so far but I'm still digging through stuff.

Pollen rx - Sunbelt
released January 27
indie rock, garage

Blushing - Tether
released January 13
dream pop, shoegaze

>>71530126
I'm from Long Beach. I was in a band called 3rd Perspective when I was like 14-15 and it was wannabe chili
-peppers funk-rock.


Then when I was 19-20 I was in a band called Good Times that ended up being more of that growlers sound. It's what the guitar player was into but I just had to leave because the freedom was getting more restraint.

Now im 21 and I'm starting a label with 5 very unique artists, including myself and my most trusted musical colleagues. I have a lot of hope and trust in the talent and ideas that are sprouting. It feels very natural.

I don't know what you play, but if you have music I'd love to hear it

nothing recorded, but I have about 2 albums worth of material and I'm currently working on the third album. I would play everything myself, but I kinda wrote the parts out of my level of skill. I play the sax and do some vocals (very few vocals are needed for the songs though). I'd love to get in contact with you

>>71533478
lol you posted these bands last time fuck off. every fucking "alt/fuzz/psych/punk" band thinks they're following their own path when its painful how much they rip off impala, the only hip hop act to come out of perth was fucking fueled by kevin parker, perth is a great city if you love dying edm trends and playing guess which sample pack this fesival dj is using.

noob question here:
bought a ticket for a concert, used my application to save the qr code.
but to be sure, I also printed the pdf.
The qr code on the printed paper looks different than the one on my phone.
Is this normal?

Orientation?

A bunch of people in their 40s and 50s listening to outdated rock music from the 1980s. Not even the good stuff, just radio songs that they get nostalgia for. The youth listen to a bunch of boring radio rap and pop. Whenever I mention somebody like Kendrick Lamar or Danny Brown, I just get stares and they tell me that Jay Z and Drake are better.

still bumpin

>>71535358
no, its completely different. but i looked after it, they say its possible for the same code to look like multiple ways, depending on masks or whatever... so im probably good.
its for a marilyn manson concert btw (hate me all you want, i just want to experience it)

>>71529415
I don't recall seeing that hobbit in Lord of the Rings. Was that in an other movie?

Anyone /newjersey/ here? Any good scenes in this great state of ours? Specifically north nj/Bergen county area? I ask because I'm completely clueless when it comes to nj culture considering I went to school all my life in NYC.

Porto Alegre (Brazil). In Brazil practically every major city has the same scene, an indie rock one consisting of two types of band: Tame Impala rip offs and early Arctic Monkeys rip offs. There's some other bands doing stuff aside from that and for the poor people in Brazil there's the Brazilian funk (or Funk Carioca, or simply Funk) and the Samba Pop (what we call Pagode) that are strong, there're some listenable (and even great/good) stuff in those genres. There's also the fucking College Sertanejo (kinda similar to the american Bro Country scene), would recommend to kill anyone that try to show you College Sertanejo (unless you ask for it). And finally there are few meme rappers popping up, Criolo being the biggest in the indie crowd and Emicida the biggest in the popular crowd.

pretty good scene rn. Lots of good venues in the area big and small. National/Some international acts come here on a pretty regular basis (just saw Ghost Bath at a small bar last night and I'm going to see Vince Staples this Thursday). Good local scene too (Atmosphere, Prof, Aesop Rock, pretty much all the rappers on the Rhymesayers label/some indie bands like Low and Policia).

I went to Prince shows at Paisley Park pretty regularly right up until he died last year.

My city has those kinds of bands only

1-Cover bands that tries to play everything mainstream, but not doing faithfull covers.
2-Singer with an acoustic guitar cover band.
3-Bands that play post grunge cover of mainstream songs and also have their own songs.
4-Black metal bands that almost no one here knows, and I only discovered they exist because I decided to search my city at metal archives. Most of those bands have the same few guys as members.

I'm from a town in the northwest of England called Blackpool. The only thing we've got to show for ourselves, is that Robert Smith was born here and a shitty pop punk band called Boston Manor.

Unfortunately, the people in the band are cunts, who have this "I'm in a band" mentality. Even more unfortunate is that they're doing well for themselves.

Anyways, I'm in a town called Ellensburg, which is an hour east of Seattle. It's sorta nice because we're in the middle of Washington and we have close access to Spokane too. Wenatchee is a dope place to play some music.


Here are some of my favorite local bands around here that aren't my band lol.

https://himikocloud.bandcamp.com/releases
2 person instrumental progressive rock band. Can be pretty psychedelic too.

https://foxandthelaw.bandcamp.com/album/stoned-to-death
Pretty solid garage rock style kind of band. They aren't active anymore though.

https://younginthecity.bandcamp.com/
Got to play a festival with these guys. They're just a solid rock band. Pretty chill but they've got moments where they rock out. Their songwriting and style work really well together.

Can we always have an eternal "local bands/unsigned artists" thread? There's a lot of great fucking artists out there that no one knows about.

had to drive 45 minutes to this show on friday but it was worth it. lots of generic indie/alt rock bands around since i'm in a college town. couple decent punk bands too

Cloudy, expensive. South seattle has a ton of brown people and generally is shit. Tacoma is Seattle's brother who got deep into drugs in high school and never recovered. Sno-ho is ok depending on where you are. Everett sucks dick. Lynnwood is ok. Edmonds is good. Lots of asians. It's rainy but closer to a drizzle than anything else. It is almost always cloudy. Downtown seattle is pretty great. There's a computer museum there. Go to the EMP museum. Don't go to the space needle it's a shitty expensive tourist trap. Stay the fuck out of Skagit County.

I live in a shitty Floridian town with <100,000 people.
We don't have a music scene.

The closest thing to a music thing we have is a bunch of old grandpas playing the same "classic" country/pop/rock hits in the Irish bars with their acoustic-electric guitars, and a bunch of middle aged white guys who form blues rock/alt-rock bands, and most of them don't even write their own music.

Our town is almost 90% white, so you can forget about having a hip-hop scene here.

I'm also convinced that my town is made up entirely of old Republican white guys, so any hope for a (good) rock scene is gone, too. I don't want to listen to Papa Budweiser and the Bud Lights doing shitty Rolling Stones covers.

I don't have any hope for a country/folk scene, either, since all the old farts who play country here are all trying to be Johnny Cash.

I don't even think anybody here knows what an electronic music is, and I'm pretty sure jazz scenes don't even exist anymore.

Besides my friend, I'm pretty sure I'm the only person under the age of 50 who writes original music here.

My friend recently started a band, but they haven't done any original stuff yet, so I'm gonna wait until they do.

>>71541251
seconding this, maybe we can have a sticky or something of local artists, separated by genres

>>71541478
Basically this. Also, if you're into the outdoors check out central washington. Lots of great hiking in places like Cle Elum, Roslyn, Wenatchee, Ellensburg, etc.

>>71541555
>seconding this, maybe we can have a sticky or something of local artists, separated by genres

totally. I'm just so fucking tired of seeing the same bands posted on this board.

I live in lisbon,Portugal and here,much like all around my country there is nothing interesting going on. The only movements that are even remotely popular is pop that is pretty much a cheap imitation of tame impala(and tame impala are just a cheap imitation themselves so...), cheap imitation of post-punk and cheap imitations of the worst kind of progressive rock imaginable.
I play with some friends and we just can't find anywhere to just have fun playing music. Most people are just into fancy,boring standards. sad.
if anyone in lisbon wants to have some fun just reply to dis post and i'll put an email here

Why would I go to philly when I'm right next to NYC. It's just annoying having to drive into the city every time

Finding proper venues to play can be tough. We usually have to travel at least an hour to play somewhere decent. The local scene in my town used to be great until the only good venue shut down.

Now all we have is a fucking Moose Lodge and a record store with a little stage in the back that no one ever goes to.

Aw shit, you're in Chattanooga, too?

Yeah, it's amazing that Chattanooga USED to have a Heavy Metal scene here 10-odd years ago, considering the town's culture.

Then again, the town is changing to fit with yuppie idiots. God I hate Andy Berke.

i think you're forgetting the grime scene mate

Most prominent person from my town recently is 070 Shake, didn't know she who she was until they got kicked out of the town park for trying to have a performance without permission from the town first.

I'm trying to get into the music scene and I'm in the Boulder area. Any tips on where to go if I want to check out local music and maybe get involved with local musicians?

I live in a shit little town in Lancashire, England. The local bands around here are rip-offs of relatively local Manchester bands like The Courteeners. They try their very best to be indie

>>71541860
Yeah check out First Base Tapes and Radio 1190, both of them are kind of the heart of the Boulder scene

London

Varied. But getting worse because many live music venues are closing down and you'd be hard pressed to find pubs doing it these days. Crowds are universally shit. Hear the same is happening in New York too. People just release shit on the internet now.

Also everyone under 19 is making grime, trap or grime that sounds like trap or trap that sounds like grime.

>Omaha, NE
>right now the scene is full of shitty dream pop
>some good hardcore bands but nothing spectacular
>in the 90's there was a killer punk and noise rock scene
>notable bands being Ritual Device, Frontier Trust, Cellophane Ceiling, Cactus Nerve Thang, Men of Porn (they moved to San Francisco in the 00's and did a record with Merzbow), and Bad Luck Charm

>small London commuter town
Local music scene was good (mainly jazz, aucostic and hard/alternative rock, and I personally knew most of the performers, but one of the main venues just closed and the other one just hosts shitty tribute bands.

London itself is great for seeing big touring bands, but small bands struggle there due to lack of rehearsal spaces.

>London commuter town

Which one?

>>71542770
Thanks. Are these venues I can go check out or should I just start listening and contact them?

>>71543269
Sevenoaks

>Oxford, UK
The EDM scene is "good" but I don't really care for that side of music. The indie scene has unfortunately largely died off, although I saw an band called Sal Para that seemed to have some potential. Jazz and classical have good performers, but if you aren't specifically a music student it's hard to get performance slots in those areas.

>>71543278
No they aren't venues, one is a tape label and the other is a radio station

>>71540053
if by thriving you mean full of people trying to be the fray 2.0 or the countless lumineers ripoffs, then yeah.

Like I said, it's very lively, but a majority of it is just folk-rock or pop-rock. There's definitely better bands out there, and there's good music to come out of it, but most of what I've heard is boring rock trying to wind up on 93.3 or a similar station.

>>71543701
I live in Boulder, and go to shows in Boulder and Denver every week, and this is so incredibly far from the truth. If you think a majority of it is folky or poppy or rocky or whatever you haven't even scratched the surface

>>71543701
Here is just a small portion of great bands that are actively playing shows in Boulder/Denver. I didn't just dump random links, I actually enjoy all of these records and I think they put a great gauge on what the scene is like right now.

If you want to get even more of a "sampler", these two local comps also represent Boulder/Denver music well.

The scene in Gainesville, FL is nonexistent

>>71544288
But I thought Florida likes party music at least.

>>71541478
>>71541502

>>71529415
Im the only one.
