I recently heard some cool tunes by a band from New Jersey called The
Blakes.  Nice, youthful power pop with excellent melodies and a fair amount
of sophistication.  Kinda like a cross between The Tories and Jellyfish.

Their website is http://www.theblakesonline.com/ (you may have to try it
twice because usually on the first try I get a "page not found" reply), but
you can also check out their mp3s at

it).  :-)
