It's a fair fit to the clues but not right.
I'm sure our American friends will be along soon to mop up.

Yosemite is a National Park so band is the National. Album is I Am Easy To Find because we all know Man City
That's actually one of their better, and different from the rest, albums. One that reinforces what I said earlier today, in that I dismissed it quickly and years later found out I actually liked it.
I don't like the killers overall, however
Considered that, but too indie for rob

No, still nothing yet. @Black&White&BlueMoon Town is going to kick himself ..... especially as he mentioned this artist a few reviews ago.

The only thing I know is I mention too many other bands in my reviews. I've even over confused myself here.

OK, so you've obviously worked out that the 1st picture is Yosomite Sam.
The clue relates to something that he says ..... unfortunately AI lists his most famous catchphrases and it's not the one I'm thinking of.
According to Wikipedia, the band named themselves after one of his favourite words.

11 – The Smithereens (1989)
Selected by RobMCFC
Much like The Smithereens music, I’m going to keep this write-up simple.
Singer Pat Dinizio once described himself thus:
“A Buddy Holly/Beatles-influenced three-chord pop singer/songwriter who happened to be standing on the right corner at the right moment and got lucky with his band.”
That 50s/60s influence of Holly and the Beatles is a pretty good description of the band’s music, but I would say that their guitar sound is also heavily influenced by British invasion bands such as The Kinks.
This album is yet another I was introduced to by the Stereo Sequence on Radio One - the single “A Girl Like You” was played at the backend of 1989, and over the years, I would say that it’s grown to be one of my favourite singles from that decade.
The album is full of heavy guitar-based songs like this one but there are more subtle moments like “Blue Period”, which features a nice harpsichord piece and backing vocals from Belinda Carlilse, and the jaunty accordion-laced “Maria Elena”, a tribute to Buddy Holly’s widow. Jim Babjak has some superb guitar parts, and Dennis Diken (drums) and Mike Mesaros (bass) give the songs plenty of bottom end, the whole thing being done and dusted in less than 35 minutes.
Dinizio had a wonderful vocal style, and I think you can spot traces of Elvis Costello and Evan Dando in there. The latter was something that I noticed when reviewing The Lemonheads album a few weeks ago, a fact that Black&White&BlueMoon Town also latched onto. I kept quiet because I’d already made the decision to select this album a few months ago so didn’t want to give any advanced clues as to what I was selecting.

Ah, I did indeed think of a catchphrase (the timestamp of my post shall back this), but serves me right for not looking beyond thr AI answer, something I actively regularly challenge too!
AI in search engines. What a fucking backwards step for humanity!
Is pretty much MY catchphrase!
