The Red Hot Valentines
ima robot. it was alex ebert's band before he became a new age hippie. good vocal range and the rhythm sections are really good but the lyrics can be cringy at times. their last album reminds me of AnCo for some reason but the other stuff is power pop / indie rock / dance punk.
Thee Makeout Party
Pointed Sticks
Wyatt Blair
King Tuff
They're pretty obvious, but if you like Weezer and haven't checked out the Cars then you really should
The Rentals. Half way between Weezer and the Cars
genuine question: what's the difference between power pop and indie pop?
