To be honest, there's only a few good bands from New Mexico and nobody ever stops here on tour. Included the myspace link so you can hear sounds or whatever. I posted this info a while back on the old TLAL board, but here goes again:
Current good bands:
Noisear
I'm sure you've heard of these guys already as they tour a lot and have put out a ton of awesome releases.
www.myspace.com/noisear
Roñoso / Fukrot
These 2 bands share a myspace profile, which is kinda odd but works. Basically Fukrot was around since I'd probably guess around '96 or '97. Their drummer moved away a few years ago, they got a new drummer and changed the name to Roñoso but play the same style of stuff. These dudes also tour quite a bit (mostly in the west). Awesome guys too.

Excruciation
Yeah, there was an old metal band with the same name, but they don't care. They have a 7" coming out on Forest Moon that's been planned forever but keeps getting delayed. Also doing a couple other splits some time. These dudes are in a bunch of other bands from here, but this is the only one I like.

Entrenched
These guys are a fairly new band. Just started up a few months ago and have only played a handful of shows. They've already become my favorite local band. They don't have any songs up yet, but hopefully they'll post some soon. Heavy as balls crust.

Other old bands from here that you should've heard of but aren't around anymore:
Logical Nonsense
Did their last couple of releases on Alternative Tentacles. Still one of the best bands of the genre. There's always all kinds of rumors about new releases/re-releases of their stuff.

Laughing Dog
Classic NM grind band. These guys actually still get together and do shows every once in a long while. Joe and Alex from Noisear are/were in this band too.

There was also Word Salad but they don't have a profile up. Did some releases on Prank Records. Sonny and Leo went on to do Bulletrainmafia but they never released anything either.
