    Some of these links may have died or moved to a new URL. If you find a link to nowhere, please let us know. If you can point me to a new one or give me a URL I don't have yet, that's even better. Due to the transient nature of bands and their websites, we have given up trying to maintain an up-to-date list on this page. Some band links can be found here, though.
