So here are some good local/semilocal bands that I've found on purevolume.com over the last year or so... they make Iowa a little less shitty.
Driving While Stupid Is a ska band that I just cannot get enough of lately. Their song intros are hilarious.
Swingset Redemption aren't from anywhere around here, but they're one of my favorite ska bands to date. If everyone listened to ska in the morning, we'd be a lot closer to acheiving world peace...
Numb is a band that I can never put into a genre, but they play with a lot of metal acts (like Chimaira and... some others who I can't remember at the present time). And everyone in the band really loves the fans. They put on a great live show, too!
Slaughterhouse 6 is another awesome ska band from the area. Yes, they did yet their name from the book "Slaughterhouse 6". Go download "Firepower"!
Link's Final Conquest has really good songs with neat titles, like "Geeks Rule"
Keepers Of The Carpet has catchy story-telling songs with profane lyrics that you'll be singing all day long.

Ska is only the happiest music alive. Go listen to LEss Than Jake and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. (and the ska bands that are listed in my entry).

And no need to be sorry, a lot of people are unfamiliar with ska.
