I now live in what is classed as a middle class town and have done for over 20 years and the music scene is pretty crap but Jaz Coleman from Killing Joke was born around 5 mins away from where I live. The Skunk Anansie guitarist lived and grew up in the same area and of course Brian Jones from the stones lived and grew up here (his grave is in the same cemetery as my wife - no morbidity here btw) and one Gustav Holst was born here too.

An ex member of Napalm Death lives here too and I worked with him for a couple of years.

Philly has had some crap over the years, like Hall & Oates, Cinderella, and Boyz II Men, but we've also given the world The Roots, Ween, The Dead Milkmen, Man Man, John Coltrane, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, Jill Scott, Chiddy Bang, Kurt Vile, The Walkmen, Will Smith, and American Bandstand.

These guys are like from 2 or 3 miles away from where I reside here in southeastern Ohio. I remember when their music equipment was in pawn half the time after the drug and alcohol binges, hehe.
They've accomplished quite a bit of attention during the last year or so. Currently touring the states and promoting the release of a new album.

I am personally not a real big fan of their music to be honest. There are a few local metal bands I like better.
