Sol Cat

Rock and roll, with a little electronica, a little psych, a little organ-driven jamminess, and a pretty good sound.  You can hear the southern influence in here for these Nashville dudes, but I don't hear a lot of country inflection.  For a band mired down among the Kiddie and Gospel acts on the poster, they are pretty dang good.  They only have one full album, 2013's Sol Cat, with a few EPs released before that, and none of their songs cracks the 50k play threshhold.  But still, all but one of their top ten most popular have more than 10k listens, so they've got people checking them out.  The top tune on Spotify is called "Fishing with John"

Loose and pretty raw rock and roll.  I like it.  Here is another "new" single that isn't on their album, called "Bread on the Table"
Super chilly rock with a little bit of weirdness to make it interesting.  Pretty cool stuff.  Makes me think of Moon Taxi or Bright Light Social Hour.  I'd go check them out.
