Entertaining, talented rap duo with arresting backing tracks. Creative flowing relentless rhymes. (Explicit!)

Slightly artsy heavy rock band with some interesting compositions. Vocals alternate between smooth alt rock and occasional screaming....

Entertaining, silly sing-song rap that repeats key phrases like choruses. Unique vocal style.

Original compositions in an old-timey "dark folk" cabaret style.

Sweet well-intentioned autobiographical acoustic-based alternative pop songs. Check out "Ballerina" and "Hell Yeah."

Soul-flavored pop, with very smooth commercial production. Great singer, just too commercialized.

Dramatic heavy synth rock. Lovely vocals. Unfortunately feels derivative, like they lifted pieces from somewhere else. Choruses are too...

Angst-ridden, musically competent band following the unfortunately popular formula of mixing screaming parts with melodic sections,...

Indie rock band imitating other more successful indie rock bands. However they have a good sound, and recordings are well produced....

Strong diva pop from a talented singer with a powerful voice. Many choruses are reminiscent of "Titanium," in a good way.

The best thing about this indie folk-pop-rock band is the lyrics. The funnier songs are more enjoyable than the sad ones. They've been...

Persistently soft, easy listening country. Great voice and songwriting. Check out "Lighthouse."
