Lot's of great bands were around at the same time the Connells
formed in N.C..  Don Dixon, Let's Active, The dBs, The Vangaurd,
The Woods, Southern Culture on the Skids, Treva Spontaine
and the Grafics. the early to mid eighties in North Carolina was
an amazing period.  R.E.M.  played her all the time, and recorded their
first album in Winston Salem.  Another local band made good is Corrosion of
Conformity, a metal band from Charlotte.  They're really good.  Check out
the album _Delieverance_.
