If I like Tilt and Discount, what else might I like in a similar vein?

I like the powerhouse-yet-vulnerable female vocal over fairly typical powerpop tune motif, but don't know any other bands that do it well. Listened to a band called Co-Ed (?) on recommendation (based on these two likes) and liked approximately one of the songs and not very much.

Any suggestions?

I wonder if anyone on ILM listens to American pop-punk at all?

NO DOUBT.

"Vulnerable"

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 27 November 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh wait I guess the hippy singer sounds kinda vulnerable

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 27 November 2004 02:53 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, also "power-pop."

In all seriousness, Bikini Kill's "Reject All American" might qualify v well

I don't remember the name of the Red Five song I liked back in time but the Deadstar one was "Don't It get You Down"

― Andrew Blood Thames (Andrew Thames), Saturday, 27 November 2004 03:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah, I like Reject All American fine, but it doean't sound polished nit eh same way as the Tilt and Discount records do. It's also punkier in a ragged kind of way.

nit eh = in the

Fastbacks?

Selby Tigers? Great New Wave / Garage Punk, but better than that description sounds. Or Sleater Kinney, stealing from another thread.

I love Tilt. War Room is such a great song.

If you like Tilt, you get Scott, Scott 2, Scott 3 and Scott 4

ahem
