You could just be safe and put "alternative rock" or something like that, easily interpreted any which way.

Genre doesn't need to be exact, it isn't really important.
Pop Rock is the closest description really.

What's the application form for?
That would give an indication of how specific they want you to be.
They might just want "rock" or they might be looking for "atonal, freeform progressive-jazz influenced noise-rock". |

when in doubt, make something up.
if it's for a band comp, it's probably so that they can put you in with other comparable acts...
from the myspace tracks, i wouldn't put 'pop' down really.

eclectic might do but the description needs qualification. Years of reviewing taught me genres are a problematic pigeonhole that save the lazy from thinking.

Rock, pop-rock or girl-rock, depending on the level of intelligence of the person you're sending the application to. | |
