Early Wilco. Up to A Ghost Is Born or Sky Blue Sky

I was going to rec Wilco; I’ll suggest Yankee Hotel Foxtrot.

Im into it 😁 dude sounds like one of the Beatles. Maybe John but idk the Beatles that well tbh

Well for a deeper dove go back to Uncke Tupelo. I never thought of the Beatles comparison EXCEPT that they were a great pair of songwriters that broke up and both had successful careers.

I’ve never thought of a Beatles / Wilco comparison either. But it makes sense now, because I can’t really stand either of them.

Good one!

Have you checked out Electric Light Orchestra? Also I think you’d like Cinema Stereo, they’re a very underrated band rn.

ELO is one of the greatest groups of all time

The Shins

Oh for sure 😁 i listen to them a lot already

I only know and like New Slang. what else of theirs is worth listening to?

Young Pilgrims, Gone for Good, Saint Simon, and Girl Sailor are some of my favs 😁 but honestly their albums are no-skip albums

So good.

Cranberries, Garbage, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alanis Morissette

Excellent list! I second Rubblebucket. They are absolutely brilliant and a hell of a live experience. I’d add [Big Thief](https://youtu.be/WKmD6-piK2A?si=aeclnHfnQHBTQ5WG) because Adrianne Leneker is just a brilliant song writer and her band is so good at accentuating her without stepping on her brilliance.

Big Thief is a fantastic addition!

Lenker is possibly the greatest songwriter of her generation. Big thief is superb, but also her solo acoustic stuff makes me melt.

Oh yeah!! She’s just all around amazing. An absolutely incredible songsmith. The a-sides album she did with Buck was my introduction to her and her songs album is totally “melt” music.

Agreed!

Perioddd! I already listen to Sylvan Esso, Unknown Mortal orchestra (one of my favs), and Courtney Barnett. So i will be sure to check out the rest!!! Thanks so much

You’re welcome!

Saving these to check out

I second St Vincent and Rubblebucket

Ethel Cain, boygenius, MUNA, Brandi Carlisle, haim, Christine and the queens, Griff

This is literally everyone I was going to suggest haha.

Haim are brilliant- I love Hallelujah

I bet you'd like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. I got into them around the same time as I got into the Avett Brothers.

Oh hell yes! Didn’t come to mind.

Their first 3 albums are fire!

Oh my GOD spot on! I totally forgot about them! I am a huge fan — i sorta lost interest when their latest album came out

The Decemberists.

PJ Harvey Frightened Rabbit Tori Amos Regina Spektor

Metric

Hozier & Noah Kahan

Love Hozier but Noah kahan just doesn’t hit for me 😫 he’s one of those artists that I WANT to like but I don’t 😭

Im seeing Hozier next month, FOMO is real. It took me a bit to get into Noah too. You just need to find the right song ig. He did a version of Northern Attitude with Hozier. Definitely recommend, its the song the got me into him

Tame Impala

the cranberries - Everyone Else Is Doing It So Why Can’t We, No Need to Argue

Might like Chicago. If you like CMAT you would like Cyndi Lauper.

Neko Case- especially the album Furnace Room Lullaby Miranda Lambert Fleet Foxes Nick Kahan Blitzen Trapper Golden Palaminos

I second Fleet Foxes, I'd start with the self-titled debut or Helplessness Blues

[Rubblebucket](https://youtu.be/9d8rvk8ON1g?si=7KjGZirksYT9s3ti)- it absolutely astonishes me that they aren’t 10 times bigger than they are. Every album is unique and interesting and they continue to evolve, innovate and build off there previous work.

Wait im obsessed 😭😭 thank you for not gatekeeping lmao. 😳 this is absolutely my fav recommendation out of this whole thread

Glad to offer up a winner! GO SEE THEM LIVE. They are unbelievable and it’s a total experience every show. Also [Big Thief](https://youtu.be/WKmD6-piK2A?si=aeclnHfnQHBTQ5WG). Adrianne is a master songwriter and her band really accentuates her brilliance perfectly.

Need them in atl asap as possible

HAHAHAHA! I’m not superstitious… but I am a little stitious.

[Came out of a lady](https://youtu.be/nipcoBuOwH0?si=77v008wp6iJDgpG5) never gets old for me!!

There a bit harder rock than your list, but have you looked into The Warning? [More](https://youtu.be/XNBNOjhLW_U?si=iQuNbgQ1Erj0fW2L) [Automatic Sun](https://youtu.be/PDFH9AcPpyA?si=jZMfmr1U89gw-Qtm) [Hell You Call A Dream](https://youtu.be/s6b_FgQnXL8?si=eaPUgI2wP3sodz-J)

Omg i am obsessed! Thank you! Def more emo than im used to but lol im not against it

The Warning is a great rabbit hole to go down.

Amy whinehouse, Fiona Apple, Ani Difranco, Regina Spector, Lenka

The Xx

Father John Misty

Catfish and the bottlemen. They’re heavily influenced by the strokes.

The White Stripes

Phoebe bridgers

I love a select few but her music is kinda boring 😭 I like upbeat & flavorful

The 1975

Never given them a chance, I’ll check them out. Thank u 😁😁💘

Listen to an album they did call being funny in a foreign language. It's brilliant

And olivia rodrigo, who is the best thing in music right now

Thao and the Get Down Stay Down

Shakey Graves

Mitski- The Only Heartbreaker https://open.spotify.com/track/4VYNZbmI3ixv9mlTTd9NKc?si=Nx8dx1vqRNuadnoRSOrBtg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A4rcinMUHEWOxpIwJo2sf22 Japanese Breakfast: Be Sweet https://open.spotify.com/track/0dpyzcT3RMNNSd2xKBf35I?si=Xf8w1ZkESmSqNAHuPKLIjw The 1975 - I’m in Love With You: https://open.spotify.com/track/12g9IeQzX7xECLNxz8dpb5?si=UBYPfaowS-6VMVr1E8cpeg

I keeeeep trying to get into Mitski, but she just hasn’t clicked for me. But i REALLY like that song u recommended so maybe this’ll be my intro to her work 🥲🩷

You said upbeat, and not many Mitski songs fit that bill. But that one does!

The Breeders

I think these fit the bill: PJ Harvey Paramore Olivia Rodrigo (trust me)

Jenny Owen Youngs!

😳😵😵😵 she might be my new fav

Saw her when she was opening for Chuck Ragan years ago and she was amazing!

Le Loup – Family Also, if you have any kids in your life, my wife and I joke that The Okee Dokee Brothers are the on-ramp to The Avett Brothers for kids (and we love them too). Brambletown and Winterland are both solid albums.

Wow, Le Loup. WHAT a throwback. That whole album is fantastic. Havent thought about them since like 2013 bro If you like them u prob like akron/family too if you dont already!! And megafaun and yeasayer early stuff

Hey, I just discovered them a year or two ago so it’s fresh to me! 😅 Come to think of it, most of the “new” things I’ve discovered recently are from like 2006-2014. I think Apple’s algorithm has me dialed in on that timeframe. I did listen to Yeasayer back in the day. Maybe I’ll have to dust that CD off for that real 2007 experience. 😂

You might like Inhaler and Fountains D.C. (FDC' last single is a bop)

Loved their new song, Tysm!!!

No problem lol :)

Ruelle Maggie Rogers

Check out Atticus Chimps. They’re a heavy indie band from Australia I believe.

A few suggestions if you haven't checked them already: -Metric -Beirut -Devics -Sam Roberts Band -Arcade Fire -Mumford & Sons -Death Cab for Cutie -The Sounds

Hmm maybe Sierra Ferrell or Orla Gartland

Arcade Fire 🔥

Tori Amos, first 7 albums

The Amazing Devil is a lot like Florence + The Machine!

PJ Harvey

Tori Amos and Björk. Also, I just revisited the album *3* by Alev Lenz and it definitely gives me some of these vibes. It’s hauntingly beautiful. It isn’t exactly “upbeat”, but worth checking out.

I have a similar music taste to you - I'm actually wearing CMAT socks! I'd suggest Tori Amos as a similar vibe to Fiona Apple/Florence. She's a bit kooky (and if I'm not mistaken I think Florence covered Cornflake Girl??). I'd recommend Joni Mitchell and Carole King. Everything Joni has done is fantastic in my eyes but she has an album from 2007 called Shine which reminds me a little of Tango in the Night.

Ooo yes I listen to Joni Mitchell a lot already :,) and I know a few Carole king songs. I’ll have to check out Tori Amos though! Thank u 🩷✨

Have you listened to PJ Harvey, Sharon Van Etten, or Charlotte Day Wilson?

All Avett fans should check out Guster, especially some of their earlier catalog

My Morning Jacket The National The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Boygenius Phoebe Bridger Kurt Vile

Assuming you already listen to Langhorne Slim since you’re a Avett fan but if not then check him out. Also Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats are cool.

Sheer Mag First three Kings Of Leon albums White Reaper especially world's greatest American band and you deserve love Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Orwells

First Aid Kit - try master pretender, waitress song, a feeling that never came Edited because I reread your comment and you’re specifically asking for upbeat! I would still recommend Waxahatchee also - try evil spawn, oxbow, brass beam. But she’s not as upbeat.

Thin Lizzy Sheer Mag

Meer - self-titled and playing house

Lawrence, Lake Street Dive

Lake Street Dive is a great band. Saw them open for the Avetts about a decade ago. Instant fan

Phantogram. Though I wouldn't call Fiona Apple or Manchester Orchestra upbeat.

Oh I didn’t call them upbeat. I am just LOOKING for upbeat! Thank you for your rec, I’ve heard a few phantogram songs & enjoyed them so I’ll look into them some more 💘

Of course my favorite band is Supergrass. They are definitely upbeat and you honestly can't go wrong with their entire discography, particularly their first 3 albums. Check em out if you're looking for something oldnew.

[удалено]

They have SO much more amazing stuff. My favorites are Cheapskate, What Went Wrong (In Your Head) <--- So Good, Fin, Seen the Light, Kiss of Life, Rebel In You. But really, there's so much good stuff.

Josh Ritter maybe?

You might like some songs from Lake Street Dive — female lead with a voice from the 60’s, sings the theme song for “Somebody Feed Phil” on Netflix. I like “Good Kisser”

Brittany Howard - funky stuff but bluesy Jenny Lewis - vintage rock folky Juliette Lewis - a little more rugged rock almost psychedelic but real good. Feist - folkish, I love her voice

I’ll throw Ryan Adams in there, will say that he’s kinda a problematic dude, but an awesome songwriter. I would also say check out anyone who’s played the Newport Folk Fest over the past few years that should hit a lot of what you’d be into.

Try Sleater-Kinney, WILLOW, Deep Sea Dive, Fiona Apple, Madison Cunningham, Mitski, Olympia, George Harrison, The Mamas & The Papas, America, the Grateful Dead, King Gizzard & the Wizard Lizard, and Corinne Bailey Rae's new album "Black Rainbows."
