These guys play a lot around me. I'm surprised they haven't got signed yet. I've been meaning to get around and see them. www.myspace.com/dontsighdaisy

Being from Umeå, which is the city of cities as far as local bands go (seeing as it's far away from everything else, so touring is a pain, making local bands, almost regardless of success, very local indeed, and yet we have one of the highest amounts of musicians per capita in the world), I am likely to only scratch the surface with any brief brainstorm. But off the top of my head, Glesbygd'n (which is the best nordic reggae you'll ever hear) REFUSED (disbanded forever, but on the upside you may actually have heard of them, which will provide context, and it's relevant for the next link) David Sandström Overdrive (former REFUSED drummer and Final Exit singer turned eccentric pop artist with street cred) the Bombettes (which is probably my favourite local all-female punkband) And while I'm at it, Khoma (which my old teacher sings in) and Painkiller (where an old classmate of mine sings, and which has a gift for firing up an audience) You should seriously check out the musical output of Umeå someday, especially if you have even the vaguest interest in punk rock. You may be surprised. It manages to be very huge and largely ignored at the same time.
