I'm in need of catchy 3-minute long songs with good choruses. Like Weezer but not Weezer I suppose. Is anyone still doing that? Any suggestions?

That's toooo far away
from Weezer type of pop rock. I don't think the thread owner will like it.
I'd agree with the Eskimo Joe suggestion.
flake music
(ie the shins before they became the shins). some of their songs are reminiscent of weezer. and its pretty good!
