I feel like you can describe bands by adding together the styles of other groups.

IE: Secret and Whisper = Saosin + Thirty Seconds to Mars

Give it a try, i'd like to see what people come up with.

I DO NOT agree with 30secs2mars, although the Saosin is just a little obvious. Time for me to be a literal jerk now. =D

thebleedingalarm + stutterfly = secret and whisper

Anyway.

Evans Blue = Breaking Benjamin's instruments + Matthew Good's lyrics

Jared Leto's screams = S&W's vocals

not a band, but Jeremy Larson's vocals = Aaron Marsh + Jon Foreman

Not exactly an equation, but rather a conjecture. The Hansen disease skin fronts that appear when listening to the "Hansenphones" of The Greep, viz.

http://www.thegreys.com/TheGreep.html

have a spectroscopy very close to that of Strontium-90, which may explain the decay which inevitably follows.
