Most people tend to associate Austin with the Texas music scene, but there are a lot of talented bands in North Texas, too. I think it’s only right, as someone who wants to be in a band, for me to support other musicians in my area.

Here are my favorites so far:

Sawed Off Sick

Slick Lady Six

Solitude Aeturnus

Shanghai 5

Also, if you’re interested in exploring your own state or country’s music scene, check out CD Baby’s location search. You can sort by genre and find bands and artists closer to home.
