Okay, so random playlists are fun, but they don't cover all the bases musically.
What I want to know is, what band do you love but no one has ever heard of? It could be a regional band that is just getting going or someone more "established" who you are still trying to turn people on to.
For me, it's The Gaslights. The lead vocalist and the lead guitarist are a husband and wife duo and they pretty much kick ass. I've known the guitarist for more than a decade and he is all round good guy. I've followed him through four different bands, been to tons of shows, traveled with him in a drafty Ford Econoline van, slept on his spare bed when I was too drunk to drive home after a show...
Anyway, check out his stuff here:
