These guys deliver a nice alternative rock jam with strong melody and groove. There's more than meets the ear with Mooses. They incorporate a jamboree of sounds and create an epic experience that feels larger than life and often times a bit jazzy. The keys give a softer touch to a somewhat heavy rock ensemble.

2. Jack Oats - "Seeing It Wrong"

Energetic indie acoustic rock with pleasant harmonies and a rustic, woodsy feel. Jack Oats creates a full-band sound with a careful collection of instruments, looping, and talent. His songs range from folky, heartbreakers to sing-song hooks that grip you.

3. Johnny Headband - "In Between"

You're going to love this electric, funk-pop group, we promise. The synth is heavy, the vocals are sexy, the chorus is catchy and everything about these tracks makes us want to dance. This band drips with class and renegade groove.

4. Cree Sullivan - "Lately"

A subtle alternative rock album that has heart, Cree Sullivan's EP is a great introduction to his eclectic style and musical taste. It feels like a small, intimate snippet of his life with twangy, soulful guitar to lay the foundation. It's simplistic, but explodes with personality.

5. HALA - "Love Grows"

Swooning and vintage, HALA's single is a tasteful mix of surf and psychedelic with mixtures of old school pop rock and folk. You may feel like you're floating around in a lava lamp, but we promise that's a natural reaction.

6. Dogleg - "Crimes"
