Santogold bass-oriented songs that fuse punk, reggae, grime, and indie rock with electro. Tribal island rhythms merge with flavorful digital chirps and blips, culminating in an original sound that is comparable to M.I.A.
Morningwood delightfully trashy and hedonistic sense of fun to alternative pop/rock in the early 21st century
Shwayze a mellow, largely acoustic sound akin to a hip-hop Jack Johnson.
The Wombats Humorous pop-punk bands are a mainstay of many large towns, so it takes something more for one to break into the mainstream. Enter the Wombats, a three-man cross between Art Brut's Wire-like fractured art-punk and Half Man Half Biscuit's wicked Liverpudlian humor.
Carolina Liar The band's debut album, Coming to Terms is due in June 2008. A single, "I'm Not Over," was utilized in commercials for the ABC series Eli Stone and included in the Ashton Kutcher/C
ameron Diaz film What Happens in Vegas.
Donnie Klang R&B vocalist Donnie Klang is perhaps best known as a cast member on the fourth season of hip-hop mogul Sean "P. Diddy" Combs's MTV show Making the band. Diddy ultimately didn't pick Klang to join his boy band, but instead offered the burgeoning idol a solo contract on Bad Boy records.
Jazmine Sullivan Sullivan was offered a solo recording contract with J Records, that released her debut single, "Need U Bad," featuring and co-produced by Missy Elliot, in 2008.
We The Kings is a commercial pop-punk band. Their self-titled debut album was produced by Sam Hollander and mixed by Lou Giordano, who had each done the same for then-current chart favorites Gym Class Heroes and the Plain White T's.
