Lost Signal
Eviscerate

It's not for lack of talent or songwriting ability, but I guess you'd have to call Lost Signal a second-tier futurepop band, if only because they don't quite get the publicity or fan mania that surrounds every new release by, say, VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berzerk, or Covenant. That, plus the fact that the vocalist sounds an awful lot like VNV Nation's Ronan Harris, if Harris smoked more and were a little wimpier.

Is that unkind? I'm just trying to paint a complete picture, and, well, when you do that sometimes paint gets splattered on the floor.

One more thing: How do you feel about the word "futurepop"? It's never really stuck with me, for some reason. Maybe because it fails to describe the music--"future" is too vague. And who really knows what pop music will sound like in the future, anyway? Probably still like Britney Spears. So I haven't seen this term used yet, but how about "emodustrial"? Have I coined it, or am I late to the party?
