Played these three for my daughter and wasn’t sure where to go next. Recall stuff like Skinny’s Failure and Midfield General being about at the same time but both are a bit different.
No shit suggestions like You Get What You Give please.
The first five that popped into my head and felt right:
Fastball - The Way
Fuel - Shimmer
God Lives Underwater - From Your Mouth
Wallflowers - One Headlight
Spacehog - In the Meantime

Lit’s My Own Worst Enemy is probably a good pick but I think it’s kind of shit outside of the riff.

I only know Spacehog of the five you posted so maybe the others didn’t make as much of a splash over in the UK.
But good call as I am a fan of In the Meantime, possibly because I’m also a massive Penguin Café Orchestra fan.
And yeah, I really hated Lit’s songs but it is a decent riff. I seem to recall they had another song from an animated film that drove me mental due to grating so much

I not quite sure what you’re after, but if I’ve understood it correctly, then Diamonds and Guns would fit
Well, since you asked - this is a playlist I made several years ago when I was in this very mood

I do not recognise the name but I’ll have a listen later to see
Ah yeah but I guess I see them as a current album band so hadn’t considered that.
Ben Folds is a good shout actually

Yes. If I’ve interpreted what Theo wants correctly.
(poppy american guitar-based stuff that would have got on MTV2’s daytime playlist, but was never critically lauded, or really part of the emo/pop-punk scene)
