In general I mean music not currently embraced in pop culture. That could be local bands, smaller mostly unknown bands, or simply forgotten bands. I don't really care the genre. My mind is more open than ever on music.
Here are a couple from a local blues band I have seen in person 6 times. These are 2 original songs, though they do a bunch of covers live. JP Soars himself is an interesting character. He started in extreme metal on a more national stage, but even early on did blues locally. He eventually went blues full time. They are road dogs playing almost daily either local or on tour. If they're not out touring, it is almost guaranteed they are playing daily locally in the bottom half of the state.
These 2 official videos are nice to me because they are EXTREMELY local to me. I know all the landmarks seen in the videos.
Over the last ~20 years I've grown more and more to love the blues. I love blues these days as much as I love the crazy side of metal. I see them as 2 sides of the same coin. JP (john Paul) told me he sees it the same as me. We've talked a few times, including when he signed the Malevolent Creation CD he played on that I brought to one of his shows.
He was tickled I knew the connection and we had a long(ish) talk. Really nice guy. That whole band actually.
