The Screamin' Cheetah Wheelies -- These guys are inspiring. Southern rock at it's best. My all time faves. I was never a fan of anything until I heard "Shakin' The Blues" for the first time.  These guys have gone the way of all good things.  It's too bad.

Bonepony -- Almost bluegrass or bluegrass that rocks. You have to hear it to believe it. "Sugar on the Pill".

Vallejo -- Don't know what you can say about these guys.  I've seen them several times and they are always good.  I wish they would bring back the brass.  I usually tell people they are like a cross between Santana and Metallica, but that's just to make it easy.  They are a lot better than that.  Listen to "La Familia" and see what I mean.

Soulhat -- I thought these guys might have gone the way of all good things, but it's not true.  Keep an eye on Kevin McKinney. Anything he touches is awesome. "Wiggin'".
