half•alive

California indie-pop band that likes to really punch loud choruses amidst tamer groove-oriented verses. Vocal timbre might be the weak link.

Layto

Formulaic drama-boy sadness pop that borrows heavily from previous work by other artists (e.g. Take Me To Church by Hozier) so many songs may sound familiar. The dude has legit vocal talent. Almost a million people follow him on Spotify.

Baabes

Proto-punk band whose most distinguished feature is that every song is about drugs.
