Oranger
Label: Jack Pine Social ClubGenre: Rock
Oranger are just plain old fun — a bunch of guys who sat around listening to the Kinks, the 13th Floor Elevators, and Al Green as teenagers (hey, who didn't?) — although they're pushing into more pop these days.

Joel RL Phelps and the Downer Trio
Label: 12XUGenre: Pop, Rock
While the band's name has always been a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy, the new single shows off Phelps' range and energy with a brazen and emotive Paul Westerberg-style number.

Kennedy
Label: Sea LevelGenre: Electronic, Pop, Rock
Space-folk-gospel-disco pop, with a hint of The Who. It's all here, kitchen-sink rock. Gotta hear it to believe.

Read Yellow
Label: FenwayGenre: Punk, Rock
[Insert Fugazi comparison here.] But seriously...call it a perfect storm of blistering energy, precision angst, and angular hooks; call it just what I need to make it through the news these days.

Audio Learning Center
Label: VagrantGenre: Rock
Audio Learning Center were once members of grunge-era misfits Pond and Sprinkler, bands that disappeared before anyone could notice. "Stereo," pairing anthemic crescendos with Chris Brady's endearingly fragile vocals, may just right that wrong.

On!Air!Library!
Label: Arena RockGenre: Electronic, Pop, Rock
The chin-stroking ambience of O!A!L!'s 2003 material (see "Ex's and Ho's Oh's") makes way for a more diverse palette of bristling pop and sprawling sonic gems in '04.
