We Shot the Moon
Snow Patrol

Acoustic Rock:

Pop Punk:

    A Silent Film is a good piano rock band.

  4. Thats Right says:

    If you like Piano rock I might recommend Genesis.

    November Rain by Guns N’ Roses is a piano rock song. Estranged as well.

    As for pop punk, I really like The Offspring. The Offspring is sometimes defined as just punk sometimes though, they’re kind of hard to define. It goes from song to song really. Just don’t listen to their newest album if you want a good impression on them.
