Post some cool local or regional bands that never hit it big. [View all]

Every city has them.

Seattle in the 90s had a band called Sky Cries Mary, that started off as an industrial band, but morphed into a sort of classic rock-psychedelic-ambient mixture. They had a large and loyal local following (in part because they put on fairly elaborate shows in an scene where everyone else was eschewing showmanship), and while they weren't at all related to grunge, they did fit into the general 70s-updated-for-the-90s vibe of "alternative rock" programming. But they never really caught on outside of WA despite an eventual major label release.
