Abstract:
Triangle-area rock bands are receiving a lot of attention from the national music press. The author believes that reasons for this are that the area has an environment where bands can develop, with singles-oriented indie record labels, college radio stations, open-minded fans, broad-based press coverage, and supportive clubs. However, this spotlight has not resulted in a major labels signing local bands to record contracts. The author also discusses what will happen to the local music scene if one of the major bands like Superchunk get signed.
