Poppy rock with a hard edge and plenty of distortion. Nice rock vocals. They sound British but they're from Toronto.

Talented Swedish vocalist singing super-poppy copycat songs about clubs, relationship problems, etc.

Quirky, intricate noodling jams in unusual time signatures with sweet singing over the top.

Pointless pop music with 1980's elements from a Brooklyn duo. Too many mediocre Brooklyn bands in our Boston scene!

Listenable hip-hop with all the usual topics covered.

Lush pretty pop synth landscapes

Soulful, original pop songs in different subgenres from a talented vocalist.

Echoey, muddy shoegaze distortion alternative rock with inexpressive vocals and an underground feel. Would be way better with a female...

Weird, comical dance/club music from a guy who says he improvises each song in one take.

Mumbly rap.

A working woman's Lana Del Ray, with a touch of country. Diva vibe.

Boring keyboard loops

Fusion prog rock jazz instrumentals - very pretty, with some heavier passages. Excellent musicianship. Made by an Australian guy in his...

Decent rock band with catchy songs, but their sound is overly tinny/midrange-y and the vocalist oversings too much. You've probably heard...

Trying too hard slightly pathetic emo pop songs about love. Good voice.

The word "Crumb" couldn't be a worse description of this band's mellow, flowing acoustic instrument based music. They produce ethereal,...

Autotuned slurry "trap" rap over noodley keyboard tracks and fuzz. Explicit. Lyrics are very un-PC hilarious - drugs, bitches and hoes,...

Very very emo scream-singing rock-pop. Overwrought. The verses are OK but the choruses contain too much wailing anguish.
