Geographic Sounds
My guitar teacher once went off on a rant saying that because of the internet there's no such thing as a "localized sound" (bands from the same geographic area sounding similar). I really don't think this is true. Case and point: my geographic area, southern Ontario. My favourite band from this area, The Last Archer (myspace/thelastarcher) cites influences from Thrice to Coheed and Cambria, and though these citations are completely justifiable, there's still something about their sound that links them to nearby bands such as The Fully Down (myspace/thefullydown). Is it just my ears because I'm from this area? What do you guys think?
