Synth pop with female vocalist. Nothing separates it from the crowd.

Punk rock with echo laden vocals, which are often mixed too low. Not interesting enough by a lot.

Decent indie pop solo project working the quirky angle. Guest vocalists are often better than the progenitor's.

Authentic soulful bluesy gospel acoustic missiles to your heart.

Southwestern sounding echo-laden shoegaze rock with Mazzy Starr and My Bloody Valentine ancestry. Great vocalist.

Pop duo that mostly collab with other acts.

Goth rock/pop targeted at adolescents. Lots of vocal harmonics & echo. Prog rock style tight guitar noodling. Sometimes they sound...

1970's style soul and R&B with some funkiness and a horn section. Very good singer.

Spectacularly original alt pop. Musically rich. Piano based, with frequent staccato. Lyrically deep and evocative. Fresh voice.

Poorly produced synth, almost low fi. Short songs, pare & very simple. Yet manages to evoke.

Highly annoying alternative rock duo with (we think) intentionally nerdy vocal delivery. Lyrically full of itself but doesn't earn it. We...

Competent poppy Irish rock band with guitars, keyboards and decent vocalist. Songs are very similar. Disposable. 2 albums out.

Brainy avante garde pop created in a blender

Their best songs sound like an American incarnation of The Human League. Too many songs about old girlfriends. Good singer. Not enough...

Rap with actual occasional singing and choruses. Good backing tracks. Check out "Get By"

Interesting combination of synthesizer music and hardcore punk vocals. Would be better with more melodic singing.

Quirky, psychedelic infused indie rock

Downtempo alt pop. Also some Lori Andersen style spoken word spiels and "found sound" snippets with meandering soundscapes.

Cleanly delivered rap with Eminem style voice & cadences, over the top of jazzy loops.

Soundgarden-ish heavier rock with a good singer.
