Shitty 90's style grunge featuring annoyingly repetitive (and often dischardant) guitar hooks, and overdone, out of tune vocals. Mostly speedy but they can slow down, as evidenced by "Sunsetting" from their most recent album. Their particular flavor of noodley, angular, discordant quasi-punk noise should never be played anymore by anyone. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Yet another quiet-loud angsty emo anthem band with bad vocals, aimed at teen boys.

Droning hard rock with announcement-style vocals. 1 album out.

Imitation sensitive boy country-pop

Awesome guitar player and singer. Mostly folk/country but she dabbles in other styles too. Former member of Golden Highway. Spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Acoustic guitar based country with nice singalong choruses. Micky's brother is one of the Motorcars.

Very old-timey folk with country accents. Kassi's vocals make frequent use of fluttering/yodeling moves.

Indie folk with a consistent chill vibe. Mostly solo acoustic guitar. Evocative lyrics, smooth vocal delivery. Nice background music.

Spare, sweet, very pleasantly melodic indie music from a folk-pop duo.

Acoustic guitar folk/country, infused with gritty rap. Short, catchy rhythmic songs with very good autobiographical lyrics. Check out "Growing Pains" and "Stuck on the Floor."

Pretty, lyrically rich acoustic guitar based folk-ish music focused on relationships.

Very listenable, mostly instrumental heavy rock grooves. Not a lot of distracting soloing, so could be used as background music in certain settings. Or soundtrack music. Well produced. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Alternative distortion rock with some quirky guitar riffs. Mediocre vocals. Some experimentation. They might think they're Radiohead.

Peruvian DJ/producer. Some lovely vocals and pleasant mixes. Slick well produced dance/club music.

Electronica DJ stuff, nothing special

Growly, bass-heavy, slow developing DJ mixes.

Well written indie rock that is often dreamy & atmospheric. Adjacent to Lana Del Rey. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Amusing, edgy rock with predecessors such as Cake, Devo and Cracker. Well produced, good vocals.

Indie rock with bland verses and good choruses. Nice female lead vocals.

Band that started out doing totally blah grungy angsty indie rock, later to get a little more tight with the arrangements & put out songs that are more accessible. Biggest strike is the vocals just are not that good. Our advice is listen to the recent stuff only.
