Tokyo Joe – Putting defibrillator paddles on a pop-rock sound that dominated the 90s Tokyo Joe lean on bright chords, bent slides, and growling vocals. Since the bands inception 21 years ago, they continue to stay regionally relevant playing hundreds of shows each year. Still have Stroke 9 and Third Eye Blind in rotation? You won’t be disappointed.

Phonic Cafe – Following a mad scientist formula Phonic Cafe have combined hip hop, acoustic, and rock. The reaction? Auditory candy. With influences ranging from Jack Johnson to the Gym Class Heroes they seem like a hot mess; but if their sound doesn’t represent today’s youth it’s hard to say what does. Overly saturated airways just aren’t willing to take these types of risks and man if it isn’t refreshing.
