What bands/artists do you reckon I would like?

I have quite a weird taste in music, I like the upbeat funk/reggae songs by John Butler Trio, the upbeat songs by The Beautiful girls, Dispatch, some Ben Harper, upbeat songs by Jack Johnson, and some songs by Donovan Frankenreiter. So overall, I guess I like funk/reggae/blues/rock/acoustic haha. Can you recommend any particular songs or artists that I might like?What bands/artists do you reckon I would like?
Definately Sublime, but who doesn't love them haha. Natty, a new artist out there, I heard him play in Lancaster before he hit the mainstream and he was brilliant- reggae acoustic, amazing. Ben Taylor, acoustic stuff but a tiny bit more funky rather than pure acoustic. If you want to go a bit more "raw" try Against Me, the older stuff. search for "Pints Of Guinness Make You Stronger" on youtube, if thats a bit too punky, look at "Baby I'm An Anarchist".



If you like that kinda stuff, Defiance Ohio are a great band. Quite unknown to many, great lyrics, you can relate to at least a couple of their songs guaranteed.



Frank Turner does some very, very nice acoustic songs, easy listening kinda stuff. He focuses on humour, and more the comedic side of things in many of his songs. If you want a bit more upbeat, Amy Macdonald does some great music, more rocky acousticy stuff.



Editted to add: Newton Faulkner, of course!What bands/artists do you reckon I would like?
Billy Talent is a band you should definitely check out. They're 'harder' than the stuff you've been delving into, but definitely have a bit of funk to the guitar riffs/ Ian D'sa *guitarist, is really into the 70's funk element and fuses it into the powerpunk sound that Billy Talent carries. There's a new song they performed with Anti-Flag called "Turn Your Back" and the live video's up on youtube, check it out! Oh, also, you would definitely enjoy Operation Ivy and probably most of the Mighty Mighty Bosstones music. Try to find a band called Creepshow (female lead vocals) that has a really different distinct sound, their albums are called Run For Your Life and Sell Your Soul . Both equally amazing, good luck!What bands/artists do you reckon I would like?
You cant go wrong with Sublime or Slightly Stoopid.
