There are several good bands in my local area.
Sev, while not strictly a local band to Richmond, is out of Washington DC and was actually starting to get some airplay nationally but I haven't heard much from them lately.
Presh-Us is an amazing metal band that hopefully will break out of the local market soon. Old school metal with complex riffs, plenty of power chords and a vocalist that can growl or sing out the lyrics. This is my favorite metal band right now.
Saturday Session is a trio of three insanely talented musicians, right now all they play is instrumentals but they will go somewhere as soon as the get lyrics and a singer.
The 2nd Floor, (melodic alterna-pop) hasn't around too long, but they are very good and destined to do something big some day.
St. Diablo is a touch-and-go thrash metal band. Some of their stuff is good, and some still needs some work, and there is some that they should stop playing altogether.
I am a huge proponent of supporting local music, so go out there and see who you will be listening to on the radio in a couple of years. Talk to them and one day you can say "I knew them when".
