Cleveland's Best New Rock Bands Of 2009

Cleveland had quite a few very decent new bands that made their debut this year, more than any in recent memory aside from the Lottery League project that happened a couple years ago.  Many of these groups were formed with members of other successful local bands, MegaChurch [Machine Go Boom, This Is Exploding], Founding Fathers [Roue, Tokyo Storm Warning, Reigning Sound], Buried Wires [Brian Straw, MGB, Aloha], Shiny Penney [Dreadful Yawns].
One or possibly two of these bands may have started at the end of 2008 but they didn't find their "full stride" until '09..

If you have a chance, get yourself out to a show one of these bands are performing and you won't be disappointed. I'm looking forward to upcoming releases that hopefully are coming as well as the maturation of their development in a year from now when the local scene paper will probably be finally taking notice.
