Soft Rock?

Some new bands courtesy of an article in The Guardian about the revival of "soft-rock". The one thing I had a problem with was the labelling of Hall and Oates as solely a soft-rock band. It's true that Hall and Oates went this way pretty quickly, but their original sound was much more like the wonderful Philly soul of the 70's. But anyway here are some links to these bands:

Zoot Woman
Orson
The Feeling

Not sure any of these bands actually sound like Hall and Oates to me, but there are definitely nods in the direction of mid-70's pop. Also, if you want to hear full tracks, each of these bands is on MySpace music.

Really, it's "Hall and Oats"? I always thought they were called "Hauling Oats"!
