In today's world of technology, finding new and exciting music from all over the world is incredibly easy. With Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and YouTube, everyone has access to music they can discover and become new fans.

What if you want to discover local music? What if you are looking for the best bands or artists in your state that you can enjoy? For Montana, that might be a little hard.

Montana isn't like states like Washington, California, or Texas, which have had some massive artists become famous. It can be hard to find bands or artists that originate from Montana, but we might have some help.

TikTok user and Radio DJ Joey has started a video series called The Coolest Bands From All 50 States. The way he determines who makes the list is all submitted by viewers. That's smart because everyone has different music tastes, and if Joey picked the list, it might have some bias due to his music likes. Here's what he thinks might be the coolest bands from Montana.

As you can see, some of these Montana bands and artists make music in all different genres. Even though Montana is viewed as filled with mostly cowboys and ranchers, locals love listening to all types of music.

There are some glaring omissions, like Izaak Opatz and Stephanie Quayle, but we love seeing other bands and artists get recognition for their incredible music.

Are there any other cool bands out there Joey missed? Let us know on the app.
