I was two for four out of your choices above as far as having heard them. First two no, last two yes.
I am in LOVE with NMH. RftC rocks harder and is raunchier. They remind me of UFO a bit.
Oysterband is the fave of mine out of those two; always reminds me of CSNY with a bit of Madness mixed in.
They make me think of Great Big Sea if they listened to more Pogues or Social D.
As far as for you, I would first recommend:
Enuff Z'Nuff (my biggest influence) Jellyfish (as in get them NOW) Matthew Sweet Redd Kross Big Star
LOVE Matthew Sweet and Big Star. Vaguely recall good things about Jellyfish and Redd Kross. Sonic Youth is springing to mind for some reason. Who knows what connections my mind has in there? :) I've never really listened to Enuff Z'Nuff, but your recommendation is enough to make me give them a try.
