May 28, 201411 yr Of course MGK is from Shaker Heights... I recently saw Welshly Arms (Cleveland) play and they are better than I even expected after I found them via the new tourism campaign... The song "Miss Ohio" is originally by Gillian Welch but I prefer the Blind Pilot version...
May 28, 201411 yr The few, the proud, the performers that now call Ohio home! Or perhaps it's an urban legend, but some say Mr. Clapton resides in German Village. http://www.whereseric.com/eric-clapton-news/303-eric-clapton-surprise-guest-appearance-columbus-ohio-jimmie-. Then there is Cincy resident Peter Frampton! Frampton sold the Indian Hill place. I believe he now resides in Nashville.
May 28, 201411 yr and Joe Dolce is from Painesville (my apologies) and grew up in my neighborhood; although our paths never crossed in school since he's several years older…maybe for the best :laugh: http://www.mainstreetpainesville.org/
May 28, 201411 yr "Pledge Allegiance" by Josh Eagle and the Harvest City is an ode to Cincinnati: http://josheagleandtheharvestcity.bandcamp.com/track/pledge-allegiance These other Josh Eagle and the Harvest City tunes have Ohio and Cincinnati themes and shout-outs: http://josheagleandtheharvestcity.bandcamp.com/track/a-good-one-is-hard-to-find http://josheagleandtheharvestcity.bandcamp.com/track/long-distance http://josheagleandtheharvestcity.bandcamp.com/track/home-away-from-home Main bandcamp page for Josh Eagle and the Harvest City: http://josheagleandtheharvestcity.bandcamp.com/ www.cincinnatiideas.com
May 28, 201411 yr That song was the peak of every middle school dance I ever went to, you could almost sense it coming, and had to make sure you were near the hottest girl you thought you could get to slow dance with you. I looked it up to see if I'd make myself feel old, I had no idea it was a remake of a country song.

May 29, 201411 yr That song was the peak of every middle school dance I ever went to, you could almost sense it coming, and had to make sure you were near the hottest girl you thought you could get to slow dance with you. My gradeschool had a day off for "parent/teacher conferences" and they'd rent out the skating rink and send us over there. I clearly remember the DJ throwing this on for a rink full of 8th graders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtaCReubaYQ Okay, it was the clean version, but I digress.
May 29, 201411 yr "Ohio" from the Cincinnati band The Mitchells: http://themitchells.bandcamp.com/track/ohio Coincidentally, The Mitchells are releasing a new vinyl full length album at The Monastery Studio in East Walnut Hills (2601 Stanton Ave.) this Saturday night at 7PM. https://www.facebook.com/events/264838810356466 www.cincinnatiideas.com
May 31, 201411 yr somekindawonderful: At about 5:01 in the video the lead singer is asked where they are based, he says they(the rest of the band) are based in Cleveland, and he is from LA. "The woods of Ohio people, if you are on a soul searching mission that is where to go apparently" says the interviewer. The lead singer seems kinda douchy, and if you look at the bands faces, it seems they kinda realize it. It's a good song though, I keep hearing it on Music Choice alternative channel on RCN cable.
June 1, 201411 yr This may be cheating since he's not actually from Ohio, but how about some love for Kent State's Joe Walsh:
June 2, 201411 yr Every time Joe Walsh comes on the radio, my finger starts to hover over the presets to change the station. But I never do change it, and at the end of the song I'm always glad I didn't.

June 8, 201411 yr This might be a stretch but at about 00:47, the guy with mustache in the center of the front row is from Springfield, OH.
June 17, 201410 yr Here are music videos with scenes in the Cincinnati area (particularly Over-the-Rhine) done by a local company on 14th Street called Lightborne Ziegler Park at the corner of 13th and Sycamore (across the street from Lightborne, basically) All over OTR/downtown and at Bellevue Hill Park Brief images of the 2001 Race Riots in Cincinnati. Possibly more images that aren't as obvious This one all appears to be shot inside of the now-defunct coffee shop at the corner of Jefferson and University called Taza
June 18, 201410 yr This year's Gathering of the Juggalos will be in Ohio, at the old Buckeye Lake venue. Unfortunately this year's infomercial isn't quite as brilliant as previous years. The wrestling segment beginning in minute 20 is the best part!

June 21, 201410 yr What does this song have to do with Ohio? Well it's summer in Ohio AS OF RIGHT NOW. This song features Danzig's most compelling grunts.
June 23, 201410 yr Here are music videos with scenes in the Cincinnati area (particularly Over-the-Rhine) done by a local company on 14th Street called Lightborne Ziegler Park at the corner of 13th and Sycamore (across the street from Lightborne, basically) All over OTR/downtown and at Bellevue Hill Park Brief images of the 2001 Race Riots in Cincinnati. Possibly more images that aren't as obvious This one all appears to be shot inside of the now-defunct coffee shop at the corner of Jefferson and University called Taza You forgot about this one (also a Lightborne production). It includes the Rothenberg School playground lot made up to look like a NYC playground. The "graffiti" painted just for the shoot caused a bit of a sh*tstorm as they had to be shamed into removing it. Also Old St Mary's and Clifton/Ludlow Street:
June 23, 201410 yr Luke Wesley is from Shelby (near Mansfield), now in NYC. Great couple of albums including a song on his first album called "Ohio" http://lukewesley.com/media/
August 2, 201410 yr Pretenders represent on this top albums list. Devo, Cars and Boston also appear with well-deserved spots. And New Bomb Turks got a sideline mention as being inspired by the British band Wire. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/the-100-greatest-debut-albums-of-all-time-20130322/pretenders-19691231
August 25, 201410 yr I think this is more age appropriate for this forum. The pride of Circleville, Ted Lewis
September 8, 201410 yr Always loved this "Beach Boys" song. Never realized it was actually a cover...and the original is just as amazing! The Students were a doo-wop vocal group which formed in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1956. Although they only released four sides, two of them - I'm So Young and Everyday of the Week - became doo-wop standards. "I'm So Young" in particular became hugely popular (and durable), and has been covered by groups as diverse as the Beach Boys, Rosie and the Originals, and The Ronettes.
October 14, 201410 yr I don't think anyone has posted this by Songs:Ohia / Jason Molina / Magnolia Electric Co. He was from Lorain, and recorded a lot with Secretly Canadian Records in Indiana. He died in 2013; drank himself to death. What a lost talent. Farewell Transmission - about 1/2 million views on Youtube:
October 31, 201410 yr playing my fav song of theirs and wow cool video! devo on french tv -- june 1980
March 10, 201510 yr from brooklynvegan today: Ohio's been a pretty good breeding ground for catchy lo-fi punk lately, thanks to All Dogs, Tweens, Vacation, Boys, Sports, and probably way more. Yet another one is Cincinnati trio Leggy, who, like Sports, played Indie Pop Prom in Brooklyn last month and won us over at that show. Leggy recently put out a new EP, Nice Try, which was recorded by Jerri Queen of two of those above-mentioned Ohio bands (Vacation and Tweens), along with John Hoffman. It feels rooted in swaggering garage rock, but doesn't just go for overly-aped '50s rock n' roll. Songs like "A Reverie" and "July" have a certain darkness to them, and singer Véronique Allaer has a few vocal tricks up her sleeve that are a little atypical of the genre too.
March 10, 201510 yr The people in Tweens and Leggy hang out a lot together, the Leggy girls are in the audience in this video: I used to work at the same restaurant as the lead singer of Tweens, she is still the butt of jokes the a-hole managers bark out. I told them she's playing in a "famous" band now and they couldn't handle it. All Dogs sounds like an early 90s girl band. Something like The Breeders, Juliana Hatfield, and Throwing Muses put together. I didn't know who they were when I saw them play last summer and a tear almost dripped down my cheek. It made me so happy to hear that sound again! The best rock band in Ohio for the past few years has been these guys: I used to hang out a lot with the singer in college listening to records and going to local shows. I lost touch with him for at least 5 years until suddenly at age 31 or 32 he started this band where he took on an Iggy Pop persona. I guess he had some kind of quarter-life crisis!
March 10, 201510 yr Hawthorne Heights - Dayton NSFW Ray Cash - Cleveland - Who is arguably responsible for the rebirth of Cleveland's national rap scene. This video features the 216, NSFW: Cam'ron - Who had some business interests in our great state released this song about 6 years ago.

August 26, 20159 yr I was researching bands playing at this year's MPMF and came across Lydia Loveless. Turns out she was born in Coshocton and raised in Columbus.
October 5, 20159 yr I was searching to see if anyone had mentioned Soledad Brothers and it turns out there's another Ohio music thread on this forum. Oh well, here's one of their songs... I'd add Soledad Brothers to this thread. Even though the mass media says they are from Detroit, they actually are from Toledo (Maumee to be exact). They attained some serious attention in the indie rock circuit, and are closely tied to the White Stripes. They were featured in the documentary "It Came From Detroit" (which includes Toledo bands) which covers the region's huge garage rock circuit:
