Frequently asked
What artists sound like The Vines?
The closest matches we measure are R.E.M., Foo Fighters, U2. Artists are matched by how their catalogs actually move — average intensity, dynamic range, texture and shared mood — across 20 measured The Vines songs, not by genre label or chart adjacency.
Which song should I start with?
R.E.M.: “Mine Smell Like Honey” (95% feel-match); Foo Fighters: “Waiting on a War” (94% feel-match); U2: “Until the End of the World” (93% feel-match). Each is that artist's single closest track to the The Vines centre of gravity, so it's the least jarring way in.
How intense is The Vines overall?
Across 20 measured songs, The Vines averages 59/100 on our intensity scale. Individual songs vary — see the full catalog breakdown on their artist page.
How do you decide two artists are similar?
Every song is measured on 8 dimensions (intensity, dynamic range, tempo, sudden changes, texture, predictability, vocal force, fine sound detail). We compare an artist's catalogue centre of gravity to every other artist's, then weight shared mood tags. Matches cross genre and era, because the measurements don't know what genre is.
