With the sound of Holy Fuck’s Lovely Allen coming out of TVs more than stereos these days — thanks to its use in a Dodge-Chrysler-Jeep commercial — let’s take a look at the other bands behind these brands:

YVES KLEIN BLUE
Named after the influential mid-20th century French artist, the Brisbane four piece first gained notice for winning a couple of Aussie band competitions. The White Stripey tune “Polka” — taken from the band’s debut EP Yves Klein Blue Draw Attention to Themselves — is currently the sound of the trampoline-as-packing-prop Mitsubishi Lancer spot. Look for the band’s full-length debut Ragged and Ecstatic to be released next month on Dew Process, the Aussie home to The Living End, Tokyo Police Club, Ben Lee and The Grates.



LANDON PIGG
This Nashville cat has released a couple of records on RCA, and his tune “Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop” is the soundtrack to the current AT&T commercial. No stranger to the screens, Pigg first gained attention when his songs were featured in Grey’s Anatomy and One Tree Hill. He’ll next be seen in the upcoming Drew Barrymore-directed flick Whip It, based on the Shauna Cross novel Derby Girl. The film stars Ellen Page as an indie-rocker who — in response to her mother’s wish to have her enter a beauty pageant — joins the Roller Derby. Pigg plays Oliver, her musician boyfriend. The film hits theatres Oct. 9.



DONOVAN
In 1965 Donovan was being heralded as the UK Dylan on the strength of his debut single “Catch the Wind” and its follow-up “Colours.” With its raspy Guthriesque tones, the latter song has people perking their ears at the tube whenever the latest Lens Crafter ad airs. The singer — who, a year later, would ditch the folk sound — became an international star with his flower-power hits “Sunshine Superman” and “Mellow Yellow.” His scene in the D.A. Pennebaker Dylan doc Don’t Look Back — where Dylan responds to Donovan holding court at a post-gig party by dropping an acerbic first-round-KO delivery of “It’s All Over Now Baby Blue” on the singer — is one for the ages. For the full Donovan story check out the fine 2008 documentary Sunshine Superman: The Journey of Donovan by noted music filmmaker Hannes Rossacher.
