It is! Thank God for google.

Obviously a bit obscure for people here, but Calvin Johnson, the lead singer is well-known, having spent time with Built To Spill, Modest Mouse, Kurt Cobain, Beck etc. etc.

The drummer in the pic is Tobi Vail of Bikini Kill, who was in a band with Calvin Johnson and Kurt Cobain, as well as being on his record label and from the same town as Beat Happening-Olympia in Washington.

Is it Wood Burning Savages, Soundgarden, The Black Keys, Savage Garden, Crowded House, Bloc Party or Semisonic?

Crowded House perhaps..

Or Outkast or a Tribe Called Quest?

I'm starting to think it's a little to cryptic - if you split the picture down the middle it should help, the band are very very well known

Never heard of Hozier. I guess I'm out of touch.

There's a guess the song thread now over in the music forum.
