I have a few bands that play a great deal in western NY (and in my area) so if you're around the area and are able to check them out, ever, I highly encourage. All three have songs on their myspace to check out.
First, Go Down Fighting. This band is from my town, and I'm actually really good friends with Brian (lead vocal) and Mike (drums)
Here's their myspace link: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=18285478
Second, Anna May. I've never seen these guys live, yet. But they're from a town only about twenty miles from me.

And lastly, Navar. These guys actually list OLP as an influence, and these guys put on a great live show.
