HOTT BAND OF THE WEEK: TYRONE WELLS (FULLERTON, CALIF.)

If you're into super-poppy singer-songwriters with a down-to-earth, folksy vibe, Tyrone Wells is for you. Mixing his love for R&B with acoustic sounds and even an organ, he creates songs that are textured and heartwarming. The overall sound on his latest disc, Hold On, is pop-rock, with real-life lyrics. You can imagine these songs playing as the soundtrack to dramatic reality show scenes on MTV (in a good way).
