By far the mellowest Bake Sale band, the Fray is like an American version of Coldplay, but even blander. Adult rock? More like adult community rock, mashed up nice and smooth so even a toothless old coot can swallow it. Which is fortunate, 'cause this stuff's so sugary-sweet, you won't have any teeth left after a few tastes.
Local H:Grunge, 2 g; metal, 1 g; rock, 10 g; band members, 2.
Composed of just two guys, Scott Lucas and Brian St. Clair, Local H is what grunge would sound like if it took a trip back to the '70s. Even the title of the band's latest album, What Ever Happened to P.J. Soles?, is a nod to the era of no-frills rock (Soles played Riff Randell in Rock 'n' Roll High School). Lucas and St. Clair may not be the prototypical Buzz bakers, but they've got one ingredient the other bands don't a song called "Heavy Metal Bakesale." Wait a second... How come they're not headlining?
