What's the "scene" like where you are?

Loads of crap metal bands in London. They all fucking suck, unoriginal and just poorly played music. To the point where I'd rather just go to the local chain pub and listen to their shitty mainstream radio as I drink my beers. Loads of shitty indie kids with loafers playing the same chord for three minutes, and adding a bit of delay to it, whilst some Emo-whore screams over the top of it.

There is loads of electronica going down, but not usually my cup of tea. Not many decent hard-rock or psychedelic metal stuff around. I'm always pleased when I hear an instrumental band in the same vein as ISIS and Pelican - there just isn't much of that around that is any good.
