I won't ever forgive you for reading even the first sentence of this article and NOT listening to at least one of their songs or better yet, go see one of their shows. From that point forward you may be the judge, there is no guarantee that anyone will like their music (that is highly unlikely) but at least you will have given it a chance. A tree will never have the chance to grow if you never take the time to plant the seed. And really, why wouldn't' you? Why wouldn't you give as much local music a listen as possible? The best stuff yet to come might be right next door to you playing a live show on your neighbors front lawn without you ever knowing because your stuck inside watching MTV or Americas Next Douche Bag. I mean Sheeeit Grace Potter and Phish were playing small shows and backwoods festivals for YEARS before they made it big. There are too many people who wouldn't bother to read those bands names on a flyer back when, but are now willing to fork out $50 a ticket because they're big enough for the mainstream to take seriously. Don't be one of those people... those people are stupid. The only reason small groups become big groups in the first place is because of people like you reader. People who take the time to read a publication like this to guide them to new music. Your curiosity and interest drives this new music. You search to see what is blazing through the grassroots and then hunt it down to get a taste of that new new. And by "new new" of course I mean undiscovered bands, groups, and jams that are innovative and may contain a style yet unheard. That is where true musical ingenuity occurs, and that is why we listen. Anyways I stray from the direction of my point which is... if someone gives you something new to listen to, give it a fucking try. Now you can rest assured that I would never recommend you listen to anything I my-self don't enjoy like this video called "I Make Records" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v= cv1WMYsLXMg. I hope our taste is similar but there really is no assurance of that. The fact I write a hip-hop column and YOU are reading it definitely improves our chances though doesn't it? Yes, yes it does.
