Inspired by Death Cab for Cutie

Even before Death Cab graduated from The O.C., the band's silky, cerebral melodies were seeping into indie pop. While artists like Rogue Wave and Julien Baker evoke Ben Gibbard's wistful bedroom intimacy, rockers across the pond like Two Door Cinema Club inject the band's eclectic guitar pop with buzzed dance-punk and Frightened Rabbit push it through mournful squalls of noise.
