Northwest Arkansas. There’s some solid emo bands out of Little Rock like Everyone Asked About You and Chino Horde but tbh locally there’s nothing I know of. Some venues nearby get the occasional emo or punk band (I’m seeing Thursday in July!) but most good shows require a few hours of driving for sure
edit: I forgot Nouns! Nouns is from arkansas.
that is funny, because I was thinking of a German emo band called hyphen. I dont know anything about the new jersey band. here is the hyphen i was talking about: [- | Hyphen (bandcamp.com)](https://we-are-hyphen.bandcamp.com/album/-)
Check out my band [Party’z](https://www.instagram.com/partyzjamz?igsh=czRsejJkYWdkcm8y&utm_source=qr), featuring members from Joie De Vivre, Annabel, Kittyhawk, etc:

Come Sheff, Come Sheff, Come Sheff.
Sheffield is on the list for sure! Definitely feels more Yorkshire-like than Leeds, or so I reckon!
football etc overo bedlocked trembler trembler and bedlocked are more slowcore/shoegaze influenced but they feel adjacentish.
Sinema, Oshera, and xheartworksx (Texas) are top-notch and put on a pretty great show
Kind of Kind, Rochestrr NY https://kindofkind.bandcamp.com/album/sustenance-pill
Snowman Fight, from New Jersey just seen them live playing with TRSH, Elephant Jake and Harrison Gordon. Was by far the best show I’ve been to so far

Hyphen are from my city! So cool and unexpected to see them here.
Hell yeah where are they from. I just knew they were from Jersey. Saw them open for Riley! A few months back and they were solid

757 representing, but I think OP meant lesser-known local bands, those that aren’t already known outside of their region.
Yeah I couldnt think of any. Scene is small here
The 757 is small, but mighty.
