Here's great band but with only 2 released singles so far: Alice Airbuzz
Love the melodies and guitar sound.

Check out in Youtube or Spotify.

I'm definately looking for more from them!

I heard a band called Velcro Hooks, really energetic

If it is an energetic band you want check out White Denim, five albums in and they keep getting better and better. Their albums D, and Last Day of Summer are the ones I would start with.

I apologize for recommending my own band, but it is an enjoyable band none the less. Not all my songs are perfect. But the basic idea is explained at thekidcandrive.ca

I was just reading about this band after reading an article about them opening for Tame Impala in Colorado. Listening to Last Day of Summer right now - really interesting stuff! If you like Tame Impala you'll like this band.
