Oh man, one of my prized possessions is a fully signed CD from one of their shows in Sheffield, England back in 1990 or something. Absolutely hilarious show, brilliant musicianship. Didn't realise they were still going!
Almost forgot...

...probably a load more that I can't think of right now.
Um, none that I know of from my hometown. Tyler is like 30 mins away, which is where Eisley is from. Not a big fan of their music (mostly unfamiliar), but I got a lot of respect for that family and what those girls can do vocally and musically. They're like the sirens in the odyssey or something.

Houston- We have ZZ Top- Rock and roll hall of famers
Destiny's child is from here, and achieved some success in the bubble gum era around 97- 98.

don't forget Days of the New/Tantric. The Ville's been doing alright in the music scene as of lately.
True, I did leave them out, but I was going for bands that are currently still in the game. Besides, Days of the New is almost a dirty word/joke around here anymore...

aren't viva voce a christian band? i got one of their older albums...
This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.
Wild Wings, youtube these guys and you will hear some kick ass stuff,
Our hometown has got some serious shit so maybe wild wings are so highly rated amongst us cause they actually write decent music
actually yeah, they are... well, when they actually started off they released their first album off of some indy-label that only released albums for "christian" bands. they even recorded a song for a tribute album for a christian band named "The Prayer Chain" which i recommend you get into. trust me. you won't be disappointed. and the song "Manta Ray" that Viva Voce recorded for the tribute album is just as good as the original song.
This isn't the land of opportunity, it's the land of competition.
fuel, live, not really proud of either band although throwing copper was a classic 90's album and i really dig it......actually live is kinda descent............fuel just sucked balls.....anyway interesting thread, i like it.
