Paste Magazine posted this — http://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2012/04/10-ohio-bands-you-should-listen-to-now.html — which I happened across this week.  In addition to completely excluding Ghettoblaster’s homebase (Dayton), which I think sucks, there is a band or ten they overlooked.  So here is the second installment of Ghettoblaster’s “Seven More Ohio Bands You Should Really Listen To Now.”

1. Motel Beds: Progressive pop influenced by everyone from Cheap Trick to The Beach Boys and Swervedriver.  http://www.brotelbeds.com.
2. OH Condor: Too slick for lo-fi, too ambitious for slacker rock and too fun for shoegazing.  http://www.ohcondor.com.
3. Mouth of the Architect: Unflinching, atmospheric, metalgaze. stomp.  http://www.mouthofthearchitect.com
4. Me & Mountains: Fully-formed, hook-heavy rock band that nods to Weezer, Killers and more.  http://www.meandmountains.com
5. Ruckus Roboticus: Concocts a fusion of hip-hop, electronic music and funk.  http://www.ruckusroboticus.com
6. Tin Armor: Rock quartet influenced by Crazy Horse, Big Star and more.  http://www.tinarmor.bandcamp.com
7. Skeletonwitch: Roots extend to metal, thrash, punk and rock and roll and the nicest dudes ever.  http://www.skeletonwitch.com

Seven more to come in the near future…
