I absolutely love love LOVE music! I also love discovering new artists/ bands. The best way is online. Here is a list of artists and bands I discovered on youtube that are totally worth checking out! (If you have an artist/ band you think I'd like based on my list below leave a comment, I'd love to hear!)

Youtube- I eventually got tired of myspace and ventured off to a new social networking site- youtube. I started off just watching music videos which then lead me to slowly start watching user generated content from youtubers such as Peron75 (more commonly known as whatthebuckshow). Michael Buckley ultimately lead me to create videos myself. (however I no longer make videos.) While making videos on a regular basis, I became good friends with several people in the youtube community (you can call us nerd fighters if you will!). Through these youtubers I have discovered several incredibly talented artists who post covers and originals regularly on their youtube channels. Other artists I have discovered them the same exact way as many myspace artists. Below are the links to these A-MAY-ZING Artists!
