Free Energy out of Philadelphia. These guys got a nice write-up in the Sunday newspaper. Had a good showing at the last SXSW Festival. Could be the next big thing or the next "whatever happened to..."

They have a Cheap Trick, 70's power-pop vibe. Check 'em out if that's your thing.

Only one, but it's a good one:

Only a few bands from my city here in Texas would qualify:

Devastation
Angkor Wat
Last Rites
Sufferance

When I lived in NM, ultmetal's list was also mine....

On a side note, the aforementioned Unbidden has announced their debut is being released in November. I can't wait!

What Taking Dawn did not make your list? For what I understand they are huge there!

Hell F*** NO! The title of the thread was that they are the "BEST" and that band sucks more than 3 vacuums at the same time.

Here (Quebec City, Quebec, Canada), my picks are:

SOUTHERN CROSS
HANKER

Well, VOIVOD are now based in Montreal (2½ hours driving from my home) and are from Jonquiere (also about 2½ hours driving). So, they're not that "local" for me. But they're definitely one of my fave bands from the province of Quebec, even though the last few CDs left me cold. One of the best Quebec bands from the 80s was also SWORD. "Metalized" is a classic in my book.

Not many metal bands that I particularly like here in Utah. This local band Killbot (opened for Vektor when they came) are pretty good. There's also this somewhat thrash band from around here who I once looked up and I swear one of their songs sounded strikingly similar to a song I recorded and put out by myself. Hmm...

Once I find a decent drummer and bassist to play my recorded material I'll have a new one to mention.

Here in Chicago...

The Last Vegas

My friend's band "Mutants of War".
