Omaha Nebraska natives David Nance Band came through the region with their brand of guitar-driven rock on display. Singer and lead guitar Nance was wearing a Chrome Tshirt which is a good place to start comparing. Accompanied by rhythm guitar, bass and drums the band played loud guitar rock that was not quite metal, prog, or punk but touched on all three.
Headroom is a New Haven based outfit with three guitars, bass, and drums. The guitar army spewed songs with slow churning metal drone. The female guitarist and leader sometimes sang, but it was the wall of squall that was the highlight. It was odd that two of the lengthy numbers sounded familiar to me. The first was a drone metal chug of Grateful Dead's Wharf Rat, and the other sounded like Danger Bird from Neil Young's fantastic Zuma record. While these two were not covers per se, the resemblance was striking. It might be a new hobby of mine to draw abstract parallels from decidedly non-covers.
