Poison-Groove Coverage

Hailing from Germany, Groove Coverage is a techno/dance duo. Most of their success has been in Europe, with a few songs that made radio play here in the USA. Poison, the song song above, is the most notorious. They have also done many covers and remixes of songs, examples being Alice in Chain's 'Poison' and Bad Religon's '21st Century Digital Boy', which was retitled '21 Century Digital Girl.'
This song never gets old for me. It's a little edgier and more feminine than I usually listen to, but just as amazing. The music is almost theatrical, as best heard in 'Runaway' and varies greatly from one song to the next. The majority of Groove Coverage's songs are remixes and covers. I was floored by the sound of '21st Century Digital Girl' and 'What You See is What You Get,' since I'd always known them as an electronic sounding band. If you like variety and surprises, this is the band for you.

Although Sugarcult was formed in 1998, they are still largely underground. They have participated in the Warp Tour and TakeAction Tour, among many others. To give you an idea, they toured from 2004-2009 non-stop. In 2009 they took a hiatus for personal reasons.
I would personally catergorize them as a rock band, but Sugarcult refuses to label and limit themselves with one genre. Their refusal to conform or follow trends has kept them out of the mainstream spotlight, but they have still managed to sell nearly 1 million albums. Anyone who recgonizes their name most likely knows them from the song 'Los Angeles.' I discovered them via youtube through the song 'Daddy's Little Defect.' The non-conformist discovers the non-comformist band. Sugarcult has had several hits, their largest selling album is Lights Out, and they have appeared on several movie and game soundtracks(Anyone played Burnout 3?).
Other songs you might want to check by this band would include 'Daddy's Little Defect,' 'Pretty Girl,' 'Majoring in Minors,' and 'Riot.'

2AM Club

2AM Club is a band with great diversity in music genres and style. Each member contributes something special. Their music variety ranges from styles of Katy Perry to Maroon 5 and plenty more.  They all came together in L.A. to create this band and have been very successful with their career. Their music definitely keeps you dancing. Their performance in the "Tiny Porno" gave a twist to the way their live music was experienced. They definitely wanted the audience to experience the music with them and their gig at the "Tiny Porno" changed the way they performed. They want to create music that can be enjoyed in the serenity of one's home and energetic parties.
