Oh man I've got tons.
Ok here's my favorite so far. It's totally a 60's style rock band. They're from Boston but have travelled around Europe a lot. This is their third album, taking things in a little more angry direction with a bit more feedback on the guitars and politically driven lyrics, while still in keeping with their existential and trippy earlier sound. Ned Filagree leads with raspy vocals and a wailing Les Paul, John Cremming picks a brilliant note on rythm, Greg Pours plays bass, and Ryan Broke smashes the drums. Comparisons have rightly been made to some of the darker sounding Beatles and The Doors but with a more modern approach, similar to The Vines. The hit single "Make Money" on this album is only 2:24 minutes but packs a wallop with a quiet first half, the band on clean amps, switching to the loud distortion this album is making an impression with at the onset of the chorus, "Cram it in your fist / Strike it off your list / Make Money / Make Money / Do whatever it takes." Other notable tracks include "Pickpocket Loans" and "Gregarious City".
I've got a whole lots more too so I'll post some later or something.

You should probably do more productive things with your time, sir.
Like maybe be in a real band. Loser.
Oh, and by the way this is totally a punk/rap band. It has nothing to do with the 60's and I don't know why you would suggest that it might.
I'm actually with Rali on this one. It does look like a punk/rap band cover to me though maybe one that was more worldly and traveled then your typical american punk/rap junk.
