Well the Boston Phoenix recently put out a list of the top fifty bands in America. Not the top fifty altogether, the top one from each state. So even though there may be a substantially larger number of bands in New York or California, or Texas or Massachusetts, it would be unfair to act as if North Dakota and Kentucky didn't have anything to offer. I got in touch with every single one of these bands through MySpace and asked them to write 250 words for the site. It didn't have to be 250 words about the band, although clearly something about the band might make sense. All I asked was that they write 250 words.
Did they get in touch? Almost all of them. Did they write 250 words exactly? Very few of them. Beggars...right?
I will be posting their responses in this manner; "Band Name / 250 Words"
While checking out their MySpace pages I listened to many and although I couldn't tell you another band in Montana at this point, I was impressed by many of the bands. Check them out, if only to be able to say you are familiar with one band from every state in this great union.
