Captain Squeegee. A rare combination of ska and psychedelic rock. Their album To the Bardos! is particularly great, and ranks among my top 5 albums of all time.
The Brotherhood of Dae Han. Southern rock with a hint of black metal metalcore.
Black Bonzo. A modern-ish prog band that sounds straight from the 70s.
Bubblemath. Progressive jazz fusion. Their first album was light on the jazz and pretty low-budget, but their second album, Edit Peptide, is the best in the subgenre, IMO.
Lotus Child. Indie alterna-rock. They only had one album, but it’s creative and interesting.
Maybe I used the wrong descriptor. I’m not into screaming, so I tend to group all screaming/growling metal into the “black metal” label. 🤷♀️

He’s excellent. If you like industrial metal or the Doom soundtrack you’ll probably like ToD. There’s no vocals, so I imagine this will appeal to DnB and EDM fans as well.
I recommend Generation Bliss (link for bandcamp because it’s not on Spotify… wtf bro this your best album!)

Joshua Rotten. A few singles, an EP, decent music that simply went nowhere and he hasn’t made anything in years.
