With vocals that ought to immediately draw comparison to David Byrne of the Talking Heads, Connecticut’s Autopoet makes music that is fun and unique. Beginning with their newest single, “Out of Reach,” the duo of John Rule and Rex Thurstan are poised to have an electric 2021.

A self-described “trash pop” three piece from L.A., Suzie True fits well into the pop rock aesthetic. With catchy guitar from G Leonardo and Lexi McCoy’s smooth bass over the steady Sarah “Danny” Pineapple on the drums, the band makes great use elements of the genre that have been staples since, well, the 90s.
