Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built

Imagine all the Indie Rock bands you hear on modern day MTV during slow hours that try to emulate FUN but with more guitars. Now take all that energy but put a huge slab of distorted guitars into the mix. Now add a generous dose of intensive drumming that sounds as if the drummer has four arms (two for the constant bullet ridden snare hit and another two to hit the cymbals like a madman pummeling with a baseball bat). This is the DROID you're looking for. 

Dead Sara - Weatherman

If a person were to give me a compilation CD of tracks from the hybridization of Metal, Grunge and Alternative Rock phase we saw in the 90s with bands like Alice in Chains or Soundgarden with this track on it, I would honest to God believe that this band came from the same era. The rip and roaring guitars that slap on your face that screams like Soundgarden's debut and a female vocalist that focuses on her energy as she sings harshly, just reminds me of Chris Cornell's enthusiasm. Heck, I though this was better than Soundgarden's reunion album, especially the one they awkwardly tried to fit in at the credits of The Avengers. The drums are as intensive as Soundgarden's Spoonman, only to be equally outmatched by harmonies of the guitars. Either they're extremely talented to harness that sound or they jumped into a Time Machine and stole music sheets from Cornell in the 90s.
