Sophia Allison, alias Soccer Mommy, emerged as one of a crop of indie-rock revivalist girls in the late teens, but quickly distinguished herself with her clever, ironic lyrics; her catchy pop harmonies; and her louche, modishly-depressive perspective. Also writes a hell of a bass riff. Hana Vu shares Allison's bedroom-indie aesthetic, mining the crunchy, distorted guitar sounds of 90s indie alternative bands and filtering them through a skein of teenage-girl journal pages.

Shaggy Miami alt-funk collective Magic City Hippies merge the sensibilities of funk and indie rock, with a soupcon of smooth R&B, acid jazz, hip-hop lyricism, and the sample-driven eclecticism of early Beck. Intentionally genre-bending, the band in many ways resembles the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but much less irritating; and, above all, is just trying to groove.

The Rebel Lounge hosts this roundup of local female-fronted bands. sarah june. headlines with soft, introspective acoustic pop that evokes modern sadgirls like Phoebe Bridgers. Incongruously, Maeby appears to perform some kind of electroclash technopop. Many of these other bands don't even have an Internet presence! So underground!

Saint Motel's perky indie pop sounds suspiciously like it might be used to advertise a Target summer sale, but it's poppy and fun and maybe we don't have to think about this stuff quite so much and are allowed to just dance occasionally. Great Good Fine OK take this sound in more of a dreampop, indie-electro, MGMT direction. Falsetto abounds.

Dream-pop-rockers Cryogeyser return to the Rebel Lounge with their spaced-out, depressive guitar jams; juxtaposed against the sweet, clear vocals of lead singer Shawn Marom. Starling frontwoman Kasha Willett's reedy, slightly nasal voice soars over the heavy, distorted guitar chords and lugubrious basslines of the band, clear descendants of shoegaze pioneers like Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine.
