Local Band Trade Offs
-
OK guys... I don't know about you, but I get reeeaallllyyy tired of doing the needle in a haystack search on myspace and the like for lesser known bands or up-and-commers in other areas. Also, being a blog that tries to get attention to local bands... I know there are lots of you out there that have local bands that you think the rest of the world needs to hear/know/write about. So... here we go... spill your hidden treasures... give us something to write about before it goes out in the open.
Here's my picks from Atlanta:

Hey Billrockscleveland, have you heard of Grafton from Cleveland? They have an awsome thrash rock thing going on. Found them on myspace a few months ago on myspace but havent heard much from them. They had this one song, "Midnight Break in" I really liked but it's not up on myspace.
