The Bug Club: Weird and wonderful (and Welsh). Cool and catchy.
This was the first one to get my attention:
(The surprise after the 1minute mark gets me every time. Soo good.)
And all of the album this is from is amazing 2022 album, Green Dream in F# (which they play several songs live in this:

95 Bulls: The greatest band that formed by accident
All from other bands in the NYC area, with bandmates spread across the continent during the 2020 lockdown, 95 Bulls thankfully became a band and luckily, they've stayed a band. They're really a Brooklyn band that answer the question: What if a punk rock Janis Joplin fronted The Stooges or The Sonics and had a bad ass organ-dominant sound? (I realize how Stefon-by-way-of-90's-SPIN that sounded, but we're just going to have to live with that, okay?)
Check out this amazing band and their almost-as-amazing videos:
