Part of the Metric/Broken Social Scene covey of Canadian bands, Stars produce vaguely British-sounding mostly acoustic indie rock, often...

Bluegrass based acoustic music with strong vocalists. A little boring.

Beautiful smooth crooner voice. Self-assured midtempo indie pop-rock that can be bluesy, breezy, serious and funny.

Once produced by the legendary Bruce Dickinson! They call their sound "super metal." You will encounter skillfully played complicated...

Entertaining DJ beats maker. Likes to use voices & chats as a base, which adds to the fun. Many tracks clock in around one minute long....

Yep it's cello music! Peaceful little percussion & bass tracks accompany it. Only one album out as of yet or we'd rank higher.

Very serious solo acoustic folk in spare arrangements with nice harmonies.

Intriguing acoustic guitar based rootsy indie rock that somehow has an old-timey feel. Evocative lyrics and good harmonies. Very well...

Repetitive & quite explicit rap-ish lyrics describing sex, partying etc. over mostly spare beat-mixes.

Oddball Gary Numan-esque pop. Large catalog - many styles & moods, but almost always being silly.

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO DO THE FLUTTERY VOICE THING like they're about to start crying but oh wait they're not, it's just they think...

Pretty tight, talented band that mostly specializes in sinister sounding rock jam/grooves, but also wanders into many other diverse...

Music for the car. Light hook-happy & dancy guitar pop. Similar to Death Cab for Cutie. Not meant to be super meaningful or deep. Many...

Spirited instrumentals featuring 2 saxes and drums. Good grooves, sometimes raucous.

Serious-toned euro techno with some good ballads.

No-nonsense blues-influenced rock with hints of Black Crows & Van Morrison. Sometimes heavy, breezy at other times, and some acoustic...

Good poppy dance music - almost a retro disco sound. Voice is similar to very early Madonna (but better, and British).

Slightly cheesy pop singles with good beats, fresh lyrics and a sense of humor.

Good light indie rock with a jangly/countryish vibe. Production mix should give the vocals more room & not let guitars overpower.

Sort of Iron Maiden style metal - but features keyboards more prominently, and lead singer has more of a growl than soaring voice....
