Heavy Metal

Packaging pain, desperation, and angst into a not-so-secret weapon barely five feet tall, Flyleaf blasted onto the scene in 2006, carried almost single-handedly by inimitable singer Lacey Sturm. Their debut remains their best, a perfect storm of distress and rage centered on Sturm's stunning vocal range and raw lyrics. Ideal for fans of Korn and Evanescence, check out "I'm So Sick," "Full Alive," and "I'm Sorry."

- Neil Z. Yeung

Alternative/Indie Rock

A batch of unassumingly breezy songs that reflect midtempo Memphis soul, lovers rock, bossa nova, early-'70s singer/songwriter, and sunshine pop influences.
