ITT, we talk about hometown/land bands that rule

[Necromunchkin]

You folks in those excellent Scandinavian countries tend to rule these threads. As did anyone enjoying time in 'Cisco or Tampa during certain time frames back in the day. I'm just jazzed because Sacred Reich is doing two "warm up" shows before all the European fests this summer. Plus the re-release of Surf Nicaragua (hopefully Metal Blade makes the smart move and also re-releases American Way) and I'm all excited.

Because Im really fucking stupid
Work and life keeps me pretty busy but I really should have made that one.

And yea your right, I've got a boatload of bands from the area I could have listed. I was mostly thinking of cool unknown ones recently, although alot of people around here know Valkyrie.

Released a demo, lost a member, gained a member, released one new song online, then toured a bunch and are still doing one off shows every now and then.

I loved them. I wish they'd fucking do something or update their website with something relevant.
