I'm a huge fan of The Filibusters in Seattle. I'm good friends with the guitarist, Dan, and have followed him on his other music projects. this band, though, is awesome. The lyrics are pretty cool, too, focusing on current events and other topics that affect peoples' lives.
If you're interested in punk rock, check out their MySpace page at www.myspace.com/thefilibustersseattle or their Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/pages/The-Filibusters/104830890773?ref=nf.
If you're in the Seattle area, I highly recommend that you go see them; they are a live group of people and have a ton of positive energy that gets the crowd in it.
I've also written up some details of my experience of the band at: http://www.columnbreak.com/2009/08/filibusters-use-summer-to-break-onto.html.
