The Raveonettes

With their two part vocal harmonies and introspective and brooding lyrics is this the band that would exist should the Everly Brothers and the Velvet Underground have a child?  Musical metaphors aside, the Raveonettes put forth a musical catalogue that made many musical pundits look at Copenhagen for more acts like them.

The Mars Volta

While some would classify the Mars Volta as Progressive Rock, many viewed the band from El Paso as “Experimental Rock”. 

The Libertines

Arguably, the Libertines have already established themselves as an important cog historically on the English musical scene.  In the mid 2000’s, they were huge stars in the U.K. and their style of Garage Rock was clearly influenced by their British predecessors from the decades before.  The band’s leaders, Pete Doherty and Carl Barat became musical icons in England and they became certifiable superstars.

The Early November

The Early November were one of many Emo Rock bands to come up in the 2000’s and while they had some success, they disbanded at their peak, thus thwarting their momentum.  This being said, if Drive-Thru Records have their own Hall of Fame, they could be candidate for it.
