Listened to two albums (Smart Casual and Dirt), B-sides, and EPs by the band Kids In Glass Houses. Genre: rock, power pop, pop punk.
I liked the songs: Matters At All (the louder the sound, the better; the chorus is really good), Giving Up, The Things Bricks Say (When Your Back Is Turned).

Here's what I've got for Klov).

I listened to the band Sanctus Real, which plays Christian rock/alternative rock. (I think everyone knows that when it says Christian rock or emo, it refers to the lyrics, not the music. In this case, the band plays alternative rock, and most of the lyrics are religious in nature, although not all of them, of course).
The first two albums, Message for the Masses and Nothing to Lose, are similar in sound and even in quality (unfortunately, the sound quality is not great). But that's okay, because the third album, Say It Loud, contains half of the songs from the second album, and they are in good quality. The music is quite ordinary, just rock, and a couple of songs even sound like punk rock. Next, there's an EP called Sverigeep, which contains three acoustic tracks, one electronic remix, and a brand new song. The fourth album is called Fight The Tide. It's a bit different from the previous ones in terms of sound, as it's softer in terms of music, more pleasant to listen to, and more melodic. The fifth album, The Face of Love, and the sixth album, We Need Each Other, are similar to the fourth, and this is where the most interesting stuff begins (in my opinion). The seventh album is called Pieces Of A Real Heart and was released last year. Overall, the album continues the traditions of the previous ones, and the music in it has become even softer and more pleasant.
There are many good songs, but some of them I liked more:
Whatever You're Doing (Something Heavenly)
Thank You
Magnetic
Dear Heart
Lead Me
Keep My Heart Alive
The Redeemer
I'll Show You How To Live
Where We Belong
The Face of Love
Fly
You Can't Hide
The Way I Feel
Mostly, these are songs from the latest albums, and most of them are calm. I usually always notice ballads right away and "fall in love" with them, while faster and harder songs need to be listened to longer for me to like them and get hooked. Although, that's not always the case)

The band Thirteen Senses plays Britpop and Indie music. Their music is similar to Coldplay, Keane, etc. You can listen to this song, After The Retreat, it will quickly give you an idea of their style. Besides, it's their best song, IMHO. I also like Undivided, but I'm not very familiar with the rest of their songs.
The British band has four albums, one of which is either a collection of covers or B-sides, it's not quite clear.

Athlete, like the previous band, plays indie rock and Britpop, so the music is somewhat similar. However, the former is more mellow, while the latter is more diverse. Their first album, Vehicles & Animals, didn't stand out. On the second album, Tourist, there's a good song called Wires, which is even mentioned on Last.fm. The third album, Beyond the Neighbourhood, became more dynamic, as did the fourth, Black Swan. From the latter, I liked the song Wild Wolves. They also have several EPs and singles with bonus tracks. On one of them, there's a song called With You I Never Lose, which I also liked.

The band Black Lab, genres: alternative rock, post-grunge.
I don't know how many albums they actually have, but I found six. The music and vocals are typical of the 90s. At least, I immediately think of the music of that time when I listen to this band. And that's, damn it, a good thing (although it mostly applies to the first album, maybe the second one too).
-The first album, Your Body Above Me, didn't really grab me, but I can highlight some songs: Thin White Lie, Anything
-The second album, See The Sun, was released аж seven years after the first, if the information is correct. The music has naturally changed a bit. I highly recommend the song Lifelike, because I liked it the most. The vocals in it are good, especially before the chorus. Also, Without You and Perfect Girl are not bad.
-The third album, Passion Leaves A Trace, has moved even further away from grunge, and it seems that the musicians were experimenting. I liked Ghost In Your Mind from it, perhaps the second most appealing.
-The fourth album is called Technologie, and it's probably not just for show, because the album is electronic. I need to get used to that))
-The band's fifth work was named Two Strangers, and I'm glad it's not electronic. I liked the songs: Bound, Love To Love You, Always, Start A Fire
They also have a collection of B-sides and demos, and I liked Like I Used To from it.

The Cranberries
If you're not a schoolkid, don't live in a village, and aren't a backward person, you've probably heard of this band (alternative rock) and are at least familiar with the song Zombie. The band is from Ireland and features a female vocalist with a rather unique style. They have five albums, but also a large number of B-sides from numerous singles, so I won't list them all; instead, I'll just write a list of songs that I liked.
Ode To My Family
Just My Imagination
When You're Gone
Dying In The Sun
Promises
and so on.

Along with this discography, there's also the solo discography of the vocalist, Dolores O'Riordan, consisting of two albums. I listened to them as well and will highlight When we were young and Human spirit for now.

1996 - Under the Black Moon(Demo)

1. La Foret
2. La Mer...

Don't get me wrong - this is Japanese Dark Metal, and the first track has a bit of black metal in it, but it's more atmospheric black metal...
It's a great demo, though! I can confidently recommend it to everyone!
I listened to it, by the way. It wasn't very good, though. The vocals are terrible) what you called "shraym." It really does sound like a screaming dwarf. And the music itself didn't really appeal to me either (Although, for the most part, the quality is poor; on the tracker, there's only an MP3 with a low bitrate.
For me, it's too drawn out. I do love long, epic songs, but here they are too long and not at all epic).

New Politics
A young band from Denmark, playing alt-rock/indie-rock with a touch of rap. They currently have one album, which is named after the band itself.
I liked these songs:
Dignity
Yeah Yeah Yeah
My Love

The vocalist has a good, emotional voice.

You Me At Six
genres: pop-punk, power-pop (they used to play deathcore!)
A band from England, with two albums (Take Off Your Colours and Hold Me Down) and six EPs. Nothing particularly special, they sound like some other bands I've already posted (KIGH and ATL).
Songs: Always Attract (pleasant, calm), Liquid Confidence, There’s No Such Thing As Accidental Infidelity, Finders Keepers

Boys Like Girls
They play in the same genre as the previous band. Although the sound is slightly different, with less "metal." They also have two albums, one named after the band, and the other, Love Drunk, which differs from the first and some of its songs resemble something danceable and fun, with elements of electronic music (for example, the songs Heart Heart Heartbreak and Love Drunk).
I liked these more:
Two Is Better Than One
Broken Man
Me, You and My Medication
Thunder

Although none of them particularly impressed me.

I listened to three bands, so I'll write about them all together.

1. Audio Karate
genre: punk rock
discography: two albums (Space Camp and Lady Melody)
songs I liked: Gypsyqueen (the vocals are amazing, this is what punk should sound like, and the "Yeee" at the end is great, and the song itself is cool), Hey Maria, Get What You Deserve Inc.
The vocals changed in the second album, although it seems to be the same guy singing.

2. Mest
genre: punk rock, pop punk (latest album), and there are also songs like Movin' On (from the 2001 album, as there are two songs with that title)
discography: 5 albums, the last one was in 2005, which makes you think that the band either broke up or took a break.
Songs I liked: Your Promise (a great song, the chorus is awesome, especially the last one, and the vocals are good), Chelsea, Without You, This Time, Dying For You, As His Black Heart Dies (My Mistake)

3. Useless ID
genre: punk rock
discography: 4 albums
songs I liked: It's alright, End, Weird rock, My therapy, Dying love
The band is from Israel

I became seriously interested in the work of the AK-47 band, and downloaded songs from 2009 to 2011+, including unreleased tracks.
Пара банок пива, снаряд дешевого пойла
Ракета прущего дыма и море свободы
Серьезные помыслы, прущие скорости, мама с вопросами:
- Куда ты дел совесть? Стань взрослым.
Я в ответ молчал виновато
- Посмотри на брата, разве трудно быть нормальным?
Им не понять меня, не поменять меня
Хотели поломать меня - им не поймать меня
В чем моя вина?
Думал бежать отсюда, хлопал дверями злобно -
Обида-паскуда
Мама била посуду и тихо плакала
Молилась за меня Богу - свечи ставила

Mr Lab
A band from France. They have one album called Post Industrial Ceremony. Last says it's progressive rock, while on Rutracker it's labeled as alternative rock/indie rock. Maybe there's room for everything, because the music isn't quite ordinary; it's quite alternative to everything else. Nothing has caught my attention besides Anyway so far. We're listening and waiting.

General Fiasco
A young indie rock band from Ireland. They currently have one album, Buildings. What else is there to say? I like the song I'm Not Made Of Eyes, and that's why I downloaded it.

The Pigeon Detectives
Another indie rock band, but with a slightly different sound, closer to Kaiser Chiefs and The Fratellis. These Englishmen have released three albums and several B-sides. I liked the following songs: I'm A Liar, Let's Go, Everybody Wants Me, You Don't Need It

Although they are in the same genre, the music is different. While these bands still have some similarities, there is other indie music that has practically nothing in common with them. It's a broad and interesting genre.

SR-71
They played punk rock/alternative and managed to release three albums. Currently, the band seems to be inactive (or maybe they're just on a very long break). The music is good, and the vocals are too. I initially liked the song My World, and now I also like She Was Dead (demo) (the vocal part is fast, making it difficult to sing along), The Best Is Yet To Come, Last Excuse

Cute Is What We Aim For
This band is a project by two guys from another band (which I haven't even heard of). They released two albums, playing pop-punk/indie, and the music is pleasant and light. I found them because of the song Newport Living, which reminded me of the band General Fiasco from the previous post, and I was hoping for more of an indie sound, but it turned out to be a bit different. I listened to the rest and would also like to mention Hollywood (the voice at the beginning sounds like Weezer) and Practice Makes Perfect (I think I've heard this song somewhere before).

Gob
Punk band from Canada, they have six albums (I didn't like the first three and deleted them, keeping only four songs from the third). I liked the other three. I've known them since 2004-2005. That's when I was playing NHL2004, and I heard their song Oh! Ellin, which I really liked. I would sit in the menu and listen to it, turning up the volume on the speakers. I still like that song, and now I also like a few others: Banshee Song, Sleepyhead, We're All Dying.

Unwritten Law
Like the first band in this post, they play punk rock/alternative rock, but with a harder edge. They've released seven albums, and I've almost completely deleted the first three. I've also known this band for a long time, thanks to NFS, where I heard the amazing song Celebration Song. Besides that, I also liked: How You Feel, Walrus, Save Me.
