Why aren't you listening to Ocoai right now?

Ocoai is a really good band from Johnson City, TN that I discovered not too long ago. Its unusual to find a band this adept at what they do that isn't signed, I can say that having seen them live not only is their material compelling but their the kind of band thats tight and powerful enough live to make you feel like the room could collapse around you. I suppose you could easily call this post-metal but there's alot of things that make these guys hard to classify. Sure there's the usual Isis influence, but there's also beautiful cello and slide guitar melodies as well as good doses of riff-based stoner rock and prog. I have a feeling you'll probably be hearing more about them soon anyway.

West coast, dead?

I'm in menifee, CA and wondering what the fuck is going on here. When I was younger I thought California was head-first with music and style. Yet, all I've seen/heard so far is a shit ton of thuggy moto x gear, rockstar apparel and almost everyone listens to some shitty scary kids scaring kids nonsense. Is boring as fuck. Vietnam core bullshit can ninja kick their way outta here. OFWGKTA and Trash Talk are from LA and Tera Melos are from somewhere in CA so I suppose all is not lost on the left. I'm happy that www.terroreyes.tv exists. Maybe California shouldn't fall in the ocean just yet.
