‘Andru Cariboni’ is very very different. Great background music, not really good for radio but great on the ears. I predict somebody will grab ‘Carpenter’ and polish them up a bit a spit out a great and very accessible rock band perfect for playing in regular rotation on the radio. Reminds me a little of Matthew Goode. Northcote was the winner for me! Great acoustic songs. The song ‘All I have Is Time’ is mixed so well that it makes your speakers seem transparent and really gives you the feel of being in the room – I’d love a vinyl copy of this for sure!. A very close 2nd place would be Styrofoam Ones – so so good, I like the retro feel to it.

Styrofoam Ones- Big Beat drum driven synth pop?/retro with punk energy.
Passenger Action- High energy indie jam rock. (sort of sounds like Moneen meets Attack In Black)
Nortcote- Music sounds like a folkier Dallas Green, not sure what to compare the vocals to.
Carpenter- Sounds like John Cougar Melloncamp and Barenaked Ladies

I have to say my favorite from the list was Northcote. It was pretty amazing : P
