James Meyer

Ok so who is everyone's favorite band/artist/blah that they think doesn't get the respect they deserve?

Guess I'll go first with: Jurassic 5 and/or Strange Fruit Project

Jasoncross is obviously from Texas ... so I'm sure he'll appreciate the soothing sounds of The Party Owls, D.R.I., or Culturecide

But if he's not from Texas, he would appreciate Skatenigs, Die Kruezen, Killdozer, Unsane, or even Big Black.

you got me pegged, originally from Waco, moved to Austin at 3...born 1971.

How about Drums and Tuba, Windsor for the Derbey, and one of my favorite Denton bands of all time, Bedhead.

Skatenigs, Big Black, Rapeman, Dennison Kimball Trio, DRI, yep yep...not a horrible time in music history to grow up in texas
