Disguised by the facade of lavish and luxury, Boca Raton, Fla. has more than just a poor stigma by outsiders, there is a local music scene fighting for revival. We must not forget Boca does have a University, Florida Atlantic University, and where there are college kids there's a plethora of young musicians. Here are some of the artists making a name for themselves that are based out of the Boca Raton area.
Band: Panic Disorder
What they sound like: I was never good at comparing bands because artistically I know most bands don't try to emulate anyone (well I hope not anyway). They do have a punk influence, which I appreciate.
Side note: The band released its debut album, "Figure It Out," in late 2008, and they can be found in many of Boca Raton's bars as well as occasional appearances in Fort Lauderdale and other areas of Palm Beach County.
About: This Boca Raton based band is what would ow be considered Indie Rock, but they have a very 70s punk rock influence

From the Present to the PAST
Band: Dashboard Confessional
About: This Boca Raton based band has received a lot of fame of the past few years with much credit to front man Chris Carraba. I've been a big fan of theirs for a long time now, and they actually came to Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton) my freshman year of college. It was amazing.
Side Note: Dashboard Confessional makes their way back to South Florida to Pompano Beach Amphitheater Fri., Nov. 27th
