This is an alphabetized collection of the posts from the main thread as well as other local bands and artists. It is unfinished and a work in progress; please don't mind the mess.
Please send missing band/artist entries, descriptions, related artists (and in what sense) or any other useful info to Eric at eric.sunderman (at) gmail (dot) com and I'll add it. Only DIY bands and artists will be added.
Regarding entries:
- Genre labels are extremely arbitrary, and only for unfamiliar folks to get a general idea.
- Related bands (by sound, touring, or shared members) are those that have been active in the scene within the past few years (or more... buahahahaha!!!!!! - treebeard).
