The fortuitous meeting of L.A.-based guitarist-singers Kenneth Pattengale and Joey Ryan brought together two gifted musicians with a similar vision for a new kind of American folk, and a great ability to hear and play it right. With just two acoustic guitars and a couple of rather Everlys-esque voices, the duo lays into its roots sound with modern spareness and minimum hoakum, emphasizing the interplay of clean, melodic lines and harmonic richness. Not just an ideas band, the Milk Carton Kids have an impressive arsenal of playing chops at their command, too, which only heightens the impact of their rip-roaring, often hauntingly beautiful songs. The familial way these guys play and sing together makes their collaboration seem like fate. —John Payne
The Cab, The Summer Set
THE ROXY
Traditional punk bands once took major offense at the notion that their genre could ever merge with pop; after all, one was the antidote to the other, right? But when acts like Blink-182 arrived in the late '90s, there was seemingly no other way to describe their genre-melding vibe. Nowadays, pop-punk crossover is in full swing. Bands like Las Vegas' the Cab co-wrote their newest effort, Symphony Solider, with the likes of Bruno Mars and Adam Levine, and their touring partners, Arizona's the Summer Set, saw their 2009 single "Chelsea" given the cha-cha treatment on Dancing With the Stars. Punk's spastic rowdiness and spirited mayhem are not lost in these crews' live shows; just don't expect dudes in Black Flag shirts to be raging in these parts. —Dan Hyman
