I agree with Dan. This is an excellent list of Phoenix bands, but if the list is supposed to represent Arizona, then Tucson is grossly underrepresented. The valley bands may be talented, but Tucson's scene is internationally known. Just check out the recently released "Tucson Songs" compilation released by German record label Le Pop Musik for a tiny sampling of what's going on down here. Or listen to Locals Only on 91.3 KXCI Tucson, my weekly radio show dedicated to celebrating what's new and exciting in Tucson music. I'm happy to see bands like ROAR and French Quarter get attention, but it's hard to contest the fact that Tucson's scene is more influential on a national and international level.
