Information
This list consists of some of the bands that I listen to and I thought
you might enjoy them, too. I have tried to group the bands together under
similar genres, but many of them can fit into more than one category. I
tried to list them under the genre that is more representative of their
sound, but you may want to look at a few of the other genres and read the
short descriptions of each band to get a slightly better idea of what they
sound like.
If you know of any other record labels, radio stations, or online stores
that specialize in the genres listed below, please contact
