Thanks for the explanation. Techno grunge-rock sounds like a good descriptive name for the genre. Or skinhead punk, but it is much darker in tone that what I consider old school punk rock.
Now would somebody please rate the song I posted?

Really torn on the Vic Mensa. He seems talented, but the song rubbed me really the wrong way - just set my teeth on edge for some reason. So I'll call it a 4/10.
This guy is really considered a national treasure in Britain, but it almost unknown in the States.

Paul Weller - You Do Something to Me
4/10 - I kept waiting for the song to really "kick" in, but it sort of teased me into thinking it was just about to get to the "good" part, but never quite did - or didn't sustain it long enough. He reminded me a bit of Harry Chapin.
was going to post something else (something a bit older, indie-rock from the 80's) but decided to go with this instead

I'll go with a 6/10... Reminds me of the band Haim a little bit. I liked it though.
Here's my new favorite artist. Leon Bridges.

Leon Bridges - Coming Home
9/10 - he's excellent, he's got a great voice and I love his old school soul style. Great song - is it original? Reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it now.
ok, here's some real old school, sticking with the "home" theme

Yep - original. Definitely evokes memories of Sam Cooke! Cooke is one of my all time favorites because I used to listen to him in my grandpa's car when he'd drive us around when we'd visit. 10/10..
Here's more Leon.

I feel like I've heard this before, but, amazing voice. I'm interested in seeing him stretch as he matures. 7/10.

Talking Heads was a seriously crazy live act. I saw them 3 times, every time it was different and nuts. Rank up there with ZZ Top and Blue Oyster Cult among the best live acts I have seen. 8/10.
Since I was listening to this today, I thought I would go with something a little more bluesy. How about The Raconteurs - Level. More brilliance from Jack White.

Them Crooked Vultures - No one loves me
5.5/10 - mixed feelings on this, I liked the beginning and it was good for the first 2-3 minutes but seemed to bog down the last 2 minutes or so
these young ladies have an interesting sound and a varied repertoire - this seems to be their latest release, it doesn't really sound much like their stuff from a couple years ago, some of their stuff make me think of Sheryl Crow or the Bangles

6.5/10. I like it, although it's a bit too "bright"-sounding for me to want to return to it very often. Perhaps worth noting that I quite like "In the Stars" by the same artist:
