yeah, i know schlesinger is from there, but i remember him being adamant about not being called "a new jersey band" … maybe i'm hallucinating, i dunno, i'll dig up the interview if i can

goddamn you are good, a quote for those who don't want to wade through it:

" (Oh, and would people please stop calling Fountains a New Jersey band? "That's the biggest misconception about us," Schlesinger laughs. "No one in the band actually lives in New Jersey.") "

Hoboken is technically NJ, but scene-wise it's NYC. I think TMBG & Rosenbergs are also there. Otherwise there's:
Misfits
Electric Frankenstein
Insomniacs
Swinging Neckbreakers- lead singer is a Trenton NJ postman- his hub was the one that processed those anthrax letters
