Pretty, possibly over-precious indie rock with glistening guitars and frequent falsetto.

Pop with a hard edge musically, and somewhat lyrically dark, but fairly tame if this is supposed to be goth. Reminds us of Lady Gaga for...

Hard edged, yet sing-songy pop with woe-is-me lyrics. Good vocals. Most suited to teenagers.

Easy listening, jazzy instrumentals perfect for a hotel lobby or gift shop.

Rage Against the Machine but with more phlegm and spit in the yelling. And less listenable.

Shoegaze indie rock quartet. Not enough backing vocals/harmonies. Not enough variety in song structures, melodies, and overall sound. Not...

A modern version of the band Hooters. Aggressively sing-along Americana rock band from New Jersey, trying to reach the songwriting level...

Mostly acoustic based pop, probably autobiographical, intelligent love songs. Sweet voice.

Sleek, urban alt pop-rock from Australia with lots of echo and grooves.

The pieces don't all come together well for this avant-garde indie rock band. Points for experimental song structures and super...

Soulful country rock with a little too much sad sack, woe is me b.s. Powerful singer - sometimes sounds like Stevie Ray Vaughan. Good band.

Serious rock band that may sound familiar because they recycle riffs from other shoegaze distortion bands like Chameleons UK. Sad tone &...

Quality underground keyboard and guitar based folk rock with good lyrics and fine singing. From Brooklyn but not as pretentious and the...

At attempt at atmospheric rock with a touch of psychedelia, but the singer isn't good enough and the songs aren't very interesting on the...

Speedy, funny punk rock with clipped, chant-like female vocals. Like the Waitresses on speed.

Offbeat synth pop with a 1980's vibe. Male lead singer with deep voice, apparently performs in a mask. Like a dark, ironic Billy Ocean.

Intentionally cheezy sounding light synth pop. Vocals have limited range.

Mellow music that would be right at home in a ladies spa, consisting of beats with synths and lush Sade-style vocals sprinkled in.

Poppy punk. Excellent lead singer has a voice that ranges from Kim Deal on the low end to a chipmunk on the high end. They should avoid...

Their female singer sounds exactly like the Suicidal Tendencies guy, in a good way. Well executed & listenable 1990's style angst hardcode.
