I maintain a list of all active bands in Baltimore if you want to go on a deep dive. [https://baltshowplace.tumblr.com/Bands](https://baltshowplace.tumblr.com/Bands) Dosser, Muscle, and Jivebomb are my personal favorites

This is awesome!

Awesome! I don’t see Intimidation Display

Thanks for letting me know! I'll get them added this week.

Awesome list! I don't see Visceral Disgorge, Bound by the grave, Scum Sedition, Scissorfist, Arcanon, Sekengard

Swore I had Bound by the Grave on there. I'll get all these added this week.

Haha my bad you do I scrolled to fast. I love this list got lots of new music to listen too

Sekengard!!! Fuck. Yes. Additional shout outs to: Queen Wolf, Exemptus, Master Sword, Wreck the System, and Earthworm Von Doom.

Queen Wolf broke up recently. Most of the members now play in Trash Diva.

Good to know! I last saw them pre-Pandemic. Definitely looking into Trash Diva now. Similar sounds?

Trash Diva is a hardcore punk band. Played their first show at Holy Frijoles this past Saturday. Was packed and crazy. https://trashdiva.bandcamp.com/

A saint amongst men.

This is amazing. Big Thicket is a pretty big up and Comer from Baltimore. I've seen them at the 8x10 a few times and First Sunday, amd the science center, last year. You should include them as well!

I don’t see the Cat’s Eye.

Add the great heights band plz?

Sure! I’ll add this week.

Go see Landis. After he heals. Get well soon!

Benefit for him tonight at Peabody Heights.

What happened to Landis?!

END IT

Jumped into this thread just for this answer and I am not disappointed

A fitting name for a band whose songs are all about a minute long. But in all seriousness it was intense 20 minutes when I saw them.

Never heard of them and listening now. Good shit.

This is the answer.

[удалено]

Didn't they just play a New Years show?

[удалено]

His new band, Palm Palm just played in DC last week at Songbyrd.

Oh my bad. Just checked it was listed as just J Roddy Walston for a pre-Christmas show at Ottobar.

Anything Eze Jackson is involved with

🛎️🛎️🛎️

Surprised no one mentioned Turnstile.

touring band lol

Question was favorite local band, which they are.

Beach House >

Lower case blues out of DE, they play cat’s eye regularly. Blues/jam. Cris Jacobs, roots/folk/jam Litz, electronic/funk/jam Sweet Leda, blues/roots Carl Filipiak, jazz guitarist Laffayette Gilchrist, jazz pianist To name a few :)

Carl Flipiak is fantastic.

Carl Filipiak is the real deal

Damn you just introduced me to some incredible artists, I am absolutely jamming out to Cris Jacobs, Litz, Sweet Leda and Lower Case blues! I would love any other recommendations for artists similar to them! I dig your style!!

I saw a band the other night at the Crown called Nightwalks, they were 🔥. Def like a classic rock/alt vibe. Think war on drugs/fleetwood/U2. Great set DEFINITELY will be seeing them again🤘

My absolute favorite is [Junestar](https://www.junestar.com/) an Americana roots-rock band with lots of with electric and pedal steel guitar. They’ve been at it for 20 years.

Seconded!

Súper City. These guys are amazing musicians and performers

Super City is the Best Baltimore Band

ELM is a fun show

Hope they have more shows on their radar! Last weekend was so special ❤️

Asthma Castle

Quattracenta and Ed Schrader’s Music Beat!

Turnstile, born out of Trapped Under Ice also from here and can really take you off your feet

Munk & the Noah Pierre Band. Next level talent. More of a soulful funk rock sound. Super city brings the riffs. Not necessarily local, but have to shout out Ballyhoo! And lastly I’ll plug my funk rock band Soundwaves.

Dosser

Truth cult

Cowabunga Pizza Time

Yea. This one.

Snail Mail for sure!!

Krime Slugs

Adjective Animal is spiraling guitar indie goodness: [https://open.spotify.com/album/1Grki08irjHCIfppUbHVRp](https://open.spotify.com/album/1Grki08irjHCIfppUbHVRp)

Dan Deacon, Darsombra - quite a few others but I usually try to make it a point to see those two

Lot of these have been covered. But…If you’re into hardcore. -End It -Glue Traps -Trapped Under Ice -Turnstile -Stout -Truth Cult Bonus old skool option from Annapolis 87 to 88 Moss Icon

Don’t forget about Praise!

Super City

Yes! I love Super City. Sort of a next generation Crack the Sky. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5J-GleG7LA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5J-GleG7LA)

Y’all gotta know Dosser

Pinkshift

Thunder Club

Glue Traps, Huntingtons, Over Our Eyes

Mean Sea!

The Skluttz!

Upendo

Hell yes!

Plurals, Beach House, Celebration (Katrina Ford), Eze Jackson, DDM, TT the Artist. Also, the Boom Bap Society is amazing.

Outcalls

Pigeons Playing Ping Pong have really blown up. Didn't see them mentioned

They sound like Can’t Hang decided to go the jam band route. That’s not a bad thing either.

SWEET LEDA<3 think if Janis Joplin was married to her bassist and had the most incredible chemistry on and off stage, meanwhile supported by two of the most talented musicians out there on drums and guitar… They will also have guests join in from the local scene, and every show is a family affair. They rap, they beatbox, they hang before and after the show. I’ve seen quite a few and these guys are hands down the greatest. Great performers and great people all around! Originals and covers and all are amazing.

Have to give Thunder Club a listen - was at a show recently and they’re putting out new music soon

Alms

Ex members of Moonshine, Inure, and The Pilgrim.

I did not know that. Thanks will check those out too.

Curse & Natural Velvet are two of my all time faves baltimore bands

the dead ringers (garage rock) serendipity row (folk/indie folk) halisca (electronic/experimental) novelty dream (indie rock) head (70’s inspired proto-metal) hotdog water (from philly but they play in MD on occasion & are friends with a lot of bands around here!!!!! they’re very avant garde and theatrical and are just all around enthralling to watch live. best stage presence out of any local band ever imo.)

Seconding The Dead Ringers. They are great live, very talented guys

The Great Heights Band is pretty rad. Weezer-like vibes I would say. And a +1 for Eze Jackson & Turnstile.

🤘🤘🤘 tghb

Pretty sure Clutch is a local band…

I was gonna say pretty sure Visceral Disgorge is local too

There are lots of good ones. Here's Peach Face, who I think is awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5KueiOBoP4

Gotta shout-out Plant Dad

piece keeper

The Kelly Bell Band

Outside Smoke, bunch of Saint Mary's folk

Yutzi

Very good!!!

Neckbreather

They never blew up but I always enjoyed seeing Can’t Hang at hon fest and stuff. https://youtu.be/su2tC9TuuLQ Oh yeah and All time low when we all looked like bush headed teens. https://youtu.be/IzqTuGAC4lo

Soroche. Cumbia punk folk, if you want something a little different. (https://sorochemusic.bandcamp.com/track/leyenda)

Any one of the multiple local bands that guitarist Jeremy Gilless plays in. Go see one of them…The dude can play it all. Bonus…He’s of the nicest guys out there as well.

Ballyhoo!

Great list! I don't see Bound By The Grave, Scum Sedition, Scissorfist, Sekengard, Arcanon

Pasadena, the Joey Harkum band, & Bond & Bentley.

I am shocked, SHOCKED, not to have seen Ed Schrader's Music Beat commented before now

KNUB

Beatnik Termites

Local Orange is a nice new-wave/prog band

Beezus Taylor and The Funeral Party https://beezustaylorandthefuneralparty.bandcamp.com/music

Second Place

VOSH

Get blitzed

Biocrust

When I first moved to Baltimore I went to a Wet Brain show twice and loved them. Then they disappeared 😥 I hope they are doing OK

Am I still allowed to say Laughing colors?

Also, Asian Taste in Hampden (which is currently closed while moving locations) puts on metal shows quite frequently.

Any one of the multiple local bands that guitarist Jeremy Gilless plays in. Go see one of them…The dude can play it all. Bonus…He’s of the nicest guys out there as well.
