Niblett
Scout Niblett - Drummer Boy
This song starts off sounding remarkably similar to something you've heard before, but don't let that deter you. While it maybe seems a bit too derivative at first, I assure you that it's derived from the purest mid- to late-90s indie rock and is as at least good as any songs from this period you might want to compare it to. I've included this handy summary of the song in case you don't actually feel like listening to it.
The singer sounds kind of melancholy or maybe even a little tired of playing the guitar at first. Then, quite suddenly, someone decides the song isn't going anywhere and the guitars start to meander somewhere else entirely, getting progressively louder until they explode into this awesome power chord laden, sludge rock attack on the earlier part of the song. The singer comes back a few more times during the moments where the guitars and drums quiet down, and she sounds much more animated than before and seems to be almost chanting the lyrics. After two or three verses, the song switches unexpectedly again, speeding up substantially but sticking with the same grinding rock sound. The singer returns a few times, but she's now yelling the verses with some intensity. She sounds totally different than the person who started off singing the song, almost like someone who'd threaten to punch you in the face if you said she sounded like cat power.
