I was reading up on the biographies of a few of the bands that I listen to, and I've learned that my area—Cleveland, Ohio—has produced a couple well-known metal bands: Mushroomhead and Chimaira. See if you can find out what bands hail from your area. It'd be awesome to find out what bands come from your hometown or the area surrounding it. But, please... Try to keep it within a certain radius, like 25 miles or so. Don't say "Linkin Park is from my area!" if you're from Sacramento.
Sad to say, but Oasis come from good 'ol Manchester. Successful they are - but I personally hate them so haha >_>' Page 398, Epidermis and some other random band come from Mossley as well - though I doubt anyone else will ever here Page or the random one. Epidermis are just waiting (Go Rob, Luke, Gary *makes list*)
Dave Matthews Band comes from my area. Richmond, which is about 2 hours away from me, is supposed to have a great hardcore scene but I haven't really looked into any of the local bands.
De Heideroosjes and Peter Pan Speedrock De Heideroosjes copied 'Forgotten' a little part then, the song's called: De Heideroosjes - Nothing's Wrong
I don't think any famous bands come from Liverpool apart from 'The Beatles', 'Searches', 'Jerry And The Pacemakers', 'Frankie Goes To Hollywood', 'The Hollys', so basically older bands. There are a few bands that are new and are good for example: 'Zombina And The Skeletones' and 'Doll Face Loser'
I was looking around for a band from HIaleah. I came across Mr Abstracto and the Sour Grapes. Barely any bands come from Hialeah. Too small of a city.
I don't know about any Czech bands that are known worldwide But from the town I now live in are 'Support Lesbiens' and 'Krystof'. I hate both of them.
Good Charlotte is from Waldorf, Maryland/Washington D.C. area. Wakefield is from Maryland but I forget what city in Maryland. I'm from Delaware and those are the only bands that I can think of that are some-what close to me.
