Are we talking currently or in the past as well? Is this a thread to listen to new music or to brag about who has the more talented area? I'm from Long Island, and the music here is fucking awesome.
While staying with a friend in Liege, Belgium this summer she showed me a local band that performs on weekends in bars. This is their only song on youtube, but they're on iTunes. They're at least a good band to look into.
