Sheeny pop & glossy, agile Kate Bush-like vocals with interesting lyrics.

Fresh & messily-edited (in a good way) mashup raps. Self-produced, excellently. Fun snippets and varied backing tracks. Best when...

Refreshingly positive pop, often wiith religious bent. Check out "UP" and "GOOD DAY"

Scream-and-chorus metalcore rock/pop band. They're Australian - not to be confused with American band Polaris, who were a fake band from...

Good old boy country descended from Waylon Jennings. Lots of songs about booze, and some woe-is-me hard luck stuff too. Well crafted....

Christian folk music. Musically & melodically borrowed & repetitive. Lyrically...well...super Christian. You have to be in that...

Dyspeptic piano and drum cabaret novelty act. Abrasive musically and lyrically. Too proud of its own cleverness. Fans probably convince...

Hack job, poppy sing-along country for the ladies. In country music, sounding familiar and comfortably predictable by being derivative is...

The problem with autobiographical songs is that if your life isn't interesting, neither are the songs. Lukewarm pop & soft acoustic...

A collection of pop tropes including auto-tune & familiar sounding synth riffs and vocal lines. Kind of interesting, often explicit.

Comedy band that musically tends towards the '80's pop styles, but works in other genres as well. Comedy material is good, but not great....

With the somewhat common thread of sounding like lost tapes from the 1960's, this unbelievably prolific band puts out an impressive mix...
