Kenna, I know that they are national but most people dont know who they are. I just bought "New sacred Cow" and am in love with songs 2 and 7. The Faint should be on this list also. Omaha local baby, cant beat that. Feel free to add to this list, others need to hear about these bands and spread the word.
Band called Span, Norwegian born bunch of guys. Quality rock/punk music, first album was released in 2004, "Mass Distraction" if anyones interested.
