Breathy singer makes adult contemporary super boring.

Smooth, likeable electronic pop grooves, often with falsetto vocals.

You might think they're death metal, but Band of Skulls sounds more like a Jack White project. They have adopted a similar heavy blues-based rock sound and similar riffs. Good Jack White-like vocals. They're probably big fans of Jack White, in other words. Slick production. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Celtic influenced pop-metal with a soaring, grand growlingness that's impossible to take seriously. Apparently the lyrics are true historical war stories. Big choruses. Lots of guitars and echo.

Decent pop-punk that's closest comp is perhaps Morrissey. Good sense of humor. Many songs about romance. Band originated in the 90's but new album out.

Expertly crafted alt pop-rock. Amazing vocalist. Intriguing lyrics. Well produced. Click here for Apple Music playlist

It's impossible not to like Carsie Blanton - we dare you! Mostly cheeky folk, but she dabbles in many styles. Consistently witty, provocative and lovable. Great production and arrangements too. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Classy soul pop with nice arrangements and occasional horns. Maybe a little too commercial/slick. Could have a rougher sound. Voice like Bonnie Raitt.

Gritty yet glossily produced country with scratchy voice, quiet intros that give way to big choruses, small town lyrics, all the typical stuff.

Highly mannered but talented vocalist. Serious songs. Might be described as folky pop.

Quirky alternative pop with some fancy chord progressions. Oddly reminds of Elvis Costello. Vocals aren't great. A little too clever, can't get over itself.

Brightly produced poppy tunes with a soul vibe. Nice voice. Unremarkable compositions and musicianship.

Peaceful, sweet synth tunes with lovely vocals.

Piano based songs with strongly poetic lyrics and powerful vocals. Click here for Apple Music playlist

Well formed original pop-rock. Voice borders on simpering at times.

If you're going to blatantly rip off Blink 182, but you can't muster the same quality of songwriting, vocals or melodies, then you're doing yourself a disservice, as it just sounds like a crappy ripoff. Better to try something different.

Alternative rock that suffers from blandness and recycling the same uninteresting ideas. Features Billy Joe Armstrong's son.

Slower tempo, rich DJ pop-rap mixes with autotuned vocals. You might find something cool for a mix. Check out "Come Down From Above."

Pleasing uptempo DJ mixes/loops for your nightclub.

Contemporary pop-soul-country trying to be adorable with sugary too-cute nostalgic lyrics
