I just saw this band live and feel the need to share their name (even though I've listened to them on and off for 2 years or so).They're amazing.
If you enjoy progressive rock/alt metal, you are def going to enjoy Karnivool. Sound Awake (their latest) is prob their best album, imo.http://www.youtube.com/results?search_type=videos&search_query=karnivool+sound+awake&search_sort=video_view_count&suggested_categories=10&uni=3EDIT:Over-reactor were an interesting band/duo that opened for them. You can check them out on youtube, too. Hard Rock/Alt Metal.This guy was running around the mosh singing/performing, then he had a stool to stand on in the middle of everyone. Pretty coo'.
