Tough call on Six Too, but Buck 65 deserves everything he'll end up getting.
Seeing as you're in the 'Fax, make sure you're checking him out every chance you get...

Q: If you could have interviewed Marvin Gaye, where would you have proposed to meet and what would you have asked him?
A: I would have met anywhere as long as it was before his father shot him. I would have asked him, "Hey, don't you think there's some chance that your father might shoot you? To death, I mean?"

nice call Steph.. Howard and the White Boy's... good times good times. some bands i want to throw out there: juliana theory - with the recent success of jimmy eat world and saves the day, i think this could be the next "emo" band to break out.
and you will know us by the trail of dead - amazing major label debut with "source tags and codes". take fugazi and throw in a little sonic youth and a heap of indie attitude, great band.
the white stripes - already getting bigger, but wonderful indie rawk. if you are sick of all the Strokes hype... check this duo out.
thursday - amazing, energetic hardcore in the tradition of fugazi. AMAZING live show...
phantom planet - the band with jason schwartzman (sp?) of "Rushmore" on drums. kinda cheezy, poppy rock but enjoyable nonetheless.
afi - another kick-ass live band. punk with goth-tinged lyrics without out all the horrible over-dramatizing goth bands tend to do. lots of lyrics about death and pain. check 'em out now before they blow up when they make the jump to a major label.
tiger army - psychobilly. punk with a backwoods tinge. the bass player plays an upright bass. that alone rocks.
ok... just my 2 bits.

My copy of "Source Tags and Codes" just arrived last night, and I am suitably impressed. I am not sure it's worthy of the mammoth praise heaped on it by Pitchfork Reviews, but it's an amazing listen. I was seriously digging "Heart in the Hand of the Matter"
Oh and if you like psychobilly type music, I have three words for you: Split Lip Rayfield. Fear the power of the Tank Bass!

There, I feel better now.
Heh. Pitchfork cracks me up sometimes. They are decent reviewers, but yeah... no way "Codes" was a 10.0, I like it.. but its no "OK Computer" or anything. I'll have to check out Split Lip Rayfield, I just recently got into psychobilly after seeing Tiger Army and Necromantix on the Punks vs. Psychos tour.

Some bands I like that never caught on(and unfortunately are no more)
Brutal Juice- Mutilation Makes Identification Difficult is a great album. Their live shows were 7 kinds of cool. Think apolitical System of a Down. I still find myself singing "Kentucky Fuck Daddy", "Galaxy", "Kathy Rigby", and "Whorehouse of Screams"
Quicksand- Had a moderate hit in the early 90's with "Dine Alone", but their follow-up album Manic Compression should be standard issue. They kind of sound like Helmet(NY Hardcore), but whereas Helmet is real hit-or-miss, Quicksand always hits.
Chemlab- Industrial band that should have hit big. Only band I've seen open for GWAR and not get booed off the stage.
