Hey man, cool to see another Marylander around. As for good music to come out of this ****ty state these days, Baltimore has had a growing music scene over the last decade or so. There's Lungfish, who are pretty incredible, if you like their genre. And Wye Oak, who, if you like Beach House, you would probably love. Double Dagger is a pretty phenomenal Baltimore post-punk group..
But one of the coolest things about most Baltimore bands, I've noticed, is their uniform gratitude to Baltimore. In the liner notes to a lot of the Baltimore-based albums I have, there is a huge mention of their hometown somewhere in there, which is nice to see. I mean, of course, I'm not saying bands from other cities don't do that sort of thing, but Baltimore bands seem to be very enthusiastic about their city.
(And dude, if you count Washington D.C. as a part of Maryland like I do, there's some serious bands from there. Fugazi, Dismemberment Plan, Nation of Ulysses, Minor Threat, etc.)
