Warren Franklin
http://www.myspace.com/warrenfranklin
This is a one-man act that sounds like the singer of Taking Back Sunday, except his lyrics are a little more punk. They're still cute in a teenage angst sort of way, though, ladies. This guy is tagging along with The Please and Thank Yous, so see their tour dates and he will be there are well.
Those Damn Kids
http://www.myspace.com/tdkallday
Those Damn Kids are a pop-punk threesome that have been around for a little while, however, having an accurate band name, they are some Damn Kids and still in high school, so don't expect a tour for another year or two. But feel free to show them some appreciation if you dig the jams. In the meantime, enjoy the WO-O-O-OAHs and sing along to some catchy jams.
Chalk Talk

If I had to chose which act I liked the most, it would be without a doubt Chalk Talk. These are the ultimate sing along songs, know why? All 3 group members sing the lyrics at the same time, and so should you! Their lyrics describe the hardships of being punk, being addicted to porn, and other humorous philosophy. On top of playing songs to ride waves and party to, they are seriously cool dudes. I ate lunch and dinner with them (where as the other bands I just had dinner with.)

Star Commander
http://starcommander.bandcamp.com/
This is a band from Arlington, TX that has developed quite a following. Their bass player is one of the best I've seen live ever, and their lyrics tug at your heartstrings. This band sounds like Surf Rock meets Indie, who then introduced him to her husband, Pop Punk. They are not currently on tour.
The Breakfast Machine
http://www.myspace.com/thebreakfastmachine
First of all, this band is all high school kids (I think, I didn't ask.) Second of all, they have a sitar and tabla player. Third of all, their singer has a heavenly voice. Fourth of all, their drumset has a light show like it was donated by the Blue Man Group. Fifth of all, I was amazed by their live performance. Not on tour though.
