Cleveland has got one of the best dive venues in the country in the Beachland Tavern (perhaps I'm biased b/c I saw a great Sonic Boom, Volta Sound, Warlocks show there three years ago), a great indie label in Elephant Stone Records, a great psych music scene (The Volta Sound, New Planet Trampoline, The Dreadful Yawns, 9 Volt Haunted House) and the areas of Coventry and Lakewood have some good bars and a decent college radio station at Cleveland State U.
