Post-grunge Detroit band trying to be the Gin Blossoms or Maroon 5. Singer mostly fails to find interesting vocal hooks & melody lines....

Polished heavy metal with sing-growling and synths. Interesting lyrics. Goth-ish.

Hard rock band with rap vocals and some screaming. Points for playing the music not just sampling. Singer sounds a tiny bit like Kevin Hart.

Tremolo-voiced sugar pop for pre-teens. This band is actually so poppy, they're hardly listenable. Like Crowded House on a sugar high....

Well constructed techno club/rave synth music, supposedly with goth/horror themes, but you hardly notice that aspect of it. Mostly...

Pop star with a good voice does soul-flavored disposable tracks mostly about sex.

Honkeytonk bluesy indie rock often with a 50's vibe. Crisp, distinctive sound. Voice reminds us of a young Elvis Costello for some...

Competent but derivative Greateful Dead/Phish copy jam band. Possibly a tad more bluesy than the originals. Just feels like secondhand...

Refreshingly honest and often bitter/scathing pop

Contagious alt pop. Interestngly, a majority of her songs are based on the same afro-beat backing track. But it works. Songs allow space...

Synth pop kidwith a few EPs out. Decent voice. Teenage themes. Musically in no particular place - like a watered down Michael Jackson sound.

Reggae with a pop sheen from a member of Stick Figure. Voice that doesn't quite fit.

Vibe schlock aimed at 13 year olds. Worst kind of sellout pop masking as driving rock and pushing fake emotion.

Boston band formed at Berklee! Interesting, surprising, musically aspiring compositions with a dash of quirkiness and a tsunami of...

Very chill reggae, kind of poppy/vanilla but well produced. Mr. Cosmic is also a member of Stick Figure. Tracks would be right at home on...

Decent DJ mixes with some interesting grooves. Not mellow enough for background music so we're not sure the context for listening. In da...

Barely talented pretty boy brag-raps, not too cleverly, about his womanizing exploits. Has no style of his own. A bit insufferable.

Sheeny pop & glossy, agile Kate Bush-like vocals with interesting lyrics.

Fresh & messily-edited (in a good way) mashup raps. Self-produced, excellently. Fun snippets and varied backing tracks. Best when...

Refreshingly positive pop, often wiith religious bent. Check out "UP" and "GOOD DAY"
