In the last two weeks I've been to two huge "battle of the bands-esque" shows, and saw about 20 local bands. I'd estimate that 15 of those bands were wanna be emo bands with absolutely no originality whatsoever. 3 thought they were the next coming of nirvana... they weren't. 1 was a band trying to sound like 90s pop rock or something, it was really embarassing. The only good one was a metal/hardcore band called Affiance that I actually ended up hanging out with. So yeah, local bands do not have a good track record with me. Maybe its just where I live (Cleveland)?
