Okay, time to put a stop to the quoting before it gets out of hand...
I rely on my brother and one of my best friends for my underground stuff - my brother keeps his ear out for rock and hip-hop bands, and my friend has strong connections to the local punk scene (Pittsburgh is one of the most Protestant cities in the U.S., hence, when kids want to rebel against the parents, they take up punk rock)
Some of the stuff I've gotten from the two: Kottonmouth Kings (came into them between their second and third album), Darwin's Waiting Room (think a blend of Korn and Linkin Park - a vocalist, an emcee, a band, but darker than LP. They got an album out, real good stuff), Strict Flow (just came out, hip-hop quartet from Pittsburgh...who knew?), and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes (great cover band - they've just started getting radio play)
