Ace,

I'd describe Tsar as 'Jellyfish on speed'! (If you know what Jellyfish sound like, that is!!)

Nine days as sfk kurt says is more in the MATCHBOX 20 mould with a touch of BARENAKED LADIES and even BRYAN ADAMS!

NEVE I love the most and remind me of a rockier REMBRANDTS at times because they use a lot of dual harmonies, a bit like CROWDED HOUSE but please don't let these comparisons put you off.

Most of the bands have sound samples available at their sites. Try using the 'Ultimate Band List' site at www.ubl.com It's the best site for searching for general band sites and will list all the official and unofficial sites for each band.

Check them out. There's a lot of good music coming out at the moment and at last it's exciting to be into rock again.
