If you’re talking about the originating genre, it’s probably more in line with Big Band and Swing. That’s if you’re looking back to the 20’s-40’s for similar sounding stuff.

I did mean the older style they’re emulating, yeah. Maybe I wasn’t looking for old enough music, or looking too hard toward jazz. I’ll check those out, see if I can figure out what I heard before that sounded like this.

For the very specific vocal styling you’re talking about, there was a bit of a revival in the 90’s by a legit band called Squirrel Nut Zippers. Vocalist Katharine Whalen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrgJmyPh2UI
