The local rock radio station near where I live in Wisconsin is good about supporting local talent also, so those things are always an option.
If you're curious about what my music sounds like, check out bands like prodigy, aphex twin, berzerker, atari teenage riot, but all with stronger guitar led melodies.
whether or not this music would be popular I have no idea, but hell it's different!
guns dont kill people, people kill people, and monkeys do too (if they've got a gun)
