What i'm saying is that threads like these bring more of them to get rid of.

hey i was wondering, like how people who are regular members that contribute to the site can only make threads in the songwriting section showcasing their stuff, how about that for posting your music?

Hmm, the local music scene is pretty dead around here but there are a few good bands I know of that haven't yet broken away from the "local" seal of approval.

Canniblast

These guys are awesome. Seen them on more than one occasion, but I must say the addition of another guitarist was a pretty bad move.

Violet Shift

My band played with these guys a few months ago, they have a real Tool sounding style of music, but utterly amazing live.

Tormented

Not bad for just two guys playing a progressive rock/power metal style of music.

One Eye Deer

I know it's mostly metal & rock, but I couldn't leave these guys out. Great live band really gets you moving.

Even though I live in Nevada now, I am still pretty attached to Vancouver Canada's music scene. This band The Darkest of the Hillside Thickets holds a special place in my heart. Sure a lot of bands are somewhat inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, but none have the dedication that these guys have, great band to see live too.

Darkest of the Hillside Thickets

Unfortunately their song list on Myspace ain't that great, but I have all their albums, so if you're interested... shoot me a message.

As I'm over 15 posts now, I think I'm allowed to post links, so here it goes.

This is a band that are kind of like my band's "big brothers" in the local music scene. They took us under their wing, set us up with some shows and a sound guy, and even do our recording, and we continue to set up joint shows pretty regularly. They're awesome dudes, and talented on top of it all. Definitely worth a listen.

Hey, thanks a lot! I don't know what the deal is with these guys in here hating on people trying to get the word out about their own bands. **** that, I'm going to take every opportunity I can. I'm ****in' broke, man! I'm trying to make this work! So if they cut my post in this forum, **** it. At least I got one un-apathetic person interested.

Glad to hear it, duder. Just finished our full-length in the studio. Working on merch and packaging, and then we'll be getting our Tyburn Jig on.

Really good stuff. Kinda metalcore-ish at times, but the vocalist has a great sense of melody when he sings
