Tooms Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 My Minds Weapon.Predictable? Yes. Biased? Definitely....but still, a local band being signed to a european label (in addition to their british label) with a two album deal being distributed by Sony/BMG is worthy of note in my opinion.

The59Sound Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Kartta continue to impress, likewise The Little Kicks. Also had mad love for Greater The Shadow when I saw them a month or two ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty Deathnail Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Iname have been getting better and better. Really enjoyed the last two gigs I've seen them at.I think Best Local Band should go to Weapon though. No other band has caused quite the positive stir that they have with their success this year.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 i don't think i've seen a single local band this year. I did see edan though so i'm counting him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was most impressed with Vesuvian this year I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofdeon Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I was most impressed with Vesuvian this year I'd say.They are the hardest working band i know and really think they will do well in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givemeasmile Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 at the start of the year i would have said edgar prais, but the early hype didn't seem to come to much.......despite this i must admit they were brilliant at t in the park. probably copy haho because of their progress and support slots they landed at the end of the year (eg hot club de paris, los campesinos and dananananakroyd) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 at the start of the year i would have said edgar prais, but the early hype didn't seem to come to much.......despite this i must admit they were brilliant at t in the park. probably copy haho because of their progress and support slots they landed at the end of the year (eg hot club de paris, los campesinos and dananananakroyd)Haho supported Sebadoh in the summer too.There are only two bands which I feel have genuinely progressed and achieved something of note this year: Copy Haho and My Mind's Weapon.I'd give a wee shout to The Little Kicks also; they work hard and go about things the right way - you know all their shows will be well attended and really good fun. Which is what it's all about, right?On a personal level, I am delighted and honoured to have befriended Greater the Shadow and Katerwaul - two criminally overlooked bands in this city and consisting of bloody good people who lack pretention and are up for good times.

waltz Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 ewsif (rip)Thanks man!In my humble and amazing opinion, it's been a good year for Copy Haho, Greater T'Shadow and Debutant. Oh, and obviously Toxic Distortion, how can we forget their constant gigging and exciting hair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
