There was some REALLY great stuff happening in the Sacramento area while I was in Los Angeles from 1992-1995. Here is a good example- Playground were a fantastic melodic punk band (think Husker Du type melodic). I can’t recommend these guys enough to you. So good. Sorry I missed them when they were around.
