3. Saint Motel
Jazzy, charismatic, good vibes. Those characteristics all equal one word = insanely talented. (Okay, maybe two.) Rip out your headphones from dancing so hard good. Yeah, you’ll want to listen to this band.

4. High Highs
You remember when I said you won't be able to stop jamming out to these artists? You’ll want to keep the High Highs in mind for that kind of band. I was introduced to these guys in 2015, and their songs still never fail to keep me jamming.

5. Palace
Like Local Natives, this band is pretty good about being something you want to listen to at anytime. They are often soothing to listen to and are often overlooked, but amazing musical gems.

6. Bleachers
This band is a fun one. They have plenty of good ones to dance and sing around to. Songs like “I Wanna Get Better” are incredible, and it doesn’t stop there. Bleachers isn’t as much of a band as it is an act, but they’re still very worth listening to.

7. Glass Animals
This English indie band makes the coolest type of music. Their last album, How To Be A Human Being, is all from different perspectives of types of people in the world. These songs are based all on personal experience and observations. While I recommended a good one to start off with, listening to a few more really gives you a good feel of what they’re all about. Check it out.

8. Still Woozy
Still Woozy is a lesser-known band that makes the dreamiest music. They’re a perfect band to vibe to. They kind of remind me of Glass Animals, but still have their own sound and style. Get ready to start obsessing over this band. Once you hear a song, you won’t be able to stop listening to it. Really. And not just because I recommended it.

9. Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes have more of a folk and slight pop vibe. They’re a super cool band from Seattle that have so many hidden treasures in their songs. Their music is beautiful and it just takes one song to know that this band is crazy talented.

10. Colony House
This band is often contemporary with rock vibes. They’ll uplift you and put you in such good spirits, which is why they’re the perfect band to end this with.
