Aggressive uptempo songs with one-note screaming vocals (see Suicidal Tendencies) Self-obsessed teenage emo lyrics. Too many pointless...

A working girl's No Doubt. Spirited punk-influenced ska pop. Great singer and talented band!

Yet another Blink 182 imitation band - this one focused on copying their anthems. Watered down, repetitive choruses. Grating vocals ....

Oddly endearing weirdo rock. Choppy, guitar heavy, melodic. RATING: Promising #SpiritualCramp

Every song is a rip off of Beastie Boys "Sabatage" (but more metal sounding). Vocals on every song consist of the same 2 screamed notes....

Deeply boring folk vocal tapestries. There are some catchy ones, but lyrics are surprisingly trite. RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

If Hootie and the Blowfish had an injection of soul and disco. RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Uptempo attitude filled rock pop with just a tiny pinch of country. RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Easy listening groove oriented soul with a heavy influence of Smoky Robinson RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Well done good humored speed ska. RATING: Promising

Some screaming of course. Aspirationally full sound. Lots of echo-ey delay pedal on the electric guitars. Can be very pretty sometimes...

Depeche Mode copiers. Spare & boring. RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Uptempo bright staccato disposable guitar pop with spirited lead singer. Not much variety - every song is a version of the previous one....

The tight nondescript pop mixes focus all attention on the vocals. Decent R&B singer for a white guy. Lyrics try but fail to paint...

dj mixes pointless lazy looping fun inventive RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Jazzy instrumental rave electronica. The jazziness is too aggressive to let it recede into background music. Kind of like Weather Report...

Interesting croony sad vocals. New Order if they only had a keyboard. Slightly grating, slightly boring. RATING: Thanks But No Thanks

Alternatingly ethereal & heavy electronic goth rave music. Trippy, monotonous RATING: Thanks But No Thanks
