I need to listen to some new bands, some new music. I don't know if I'm just out of the loop or if there really is no new good bands to talk about. Anyone have any suggestions? Give me bands, albums, anything, I need something new please. Thanks!

    From those bands you mentioned you seem very entrentched in "rock n roll" and ain't nothin wrong with that.

    They are far from knew but have you tried Queens of the Stone Age? They seem to fit right into that R&R type sound you listed there. I like Songs for the Deaf (dave grohl on drums on that album) as well as Rated R.

    How about the Whigs? Another nice R&R band from Athens GA. They have two albums out I like the album Mission Control a lot. check out their song "Right Hand on my Heart" it is my fav song by them.

    Band of Horses- A little off the R&R sound but you might dig them. The Album Cease to Begin is a very good album, my fav song is on their other album though that song is "Funeral"

    i listened to them and didnt think much, i dont think of much of that whole scene, its rather zzz but if you suggest so john then i will listen again as you are usually right...

    but i'd disagree SILVERSUN PICKUPS.

    if you've never heard of John Butler Trio, check them out. Just downright awesome musicians. Rock & Roll mixed with some funky grooves. Check out the album Grand National, prob the best start. I also cant get enough of the Black Keys lately. Very bluesy, any album is good actually. My fave song is probably 10am automatic. And I agree with the above posts with regards to The Dead Weather and Rise Against. I also like Band of Horses (LOVE Funeral) but again, this is switching genres. Also give Them Crooked Vultures a try. They have an old school sound plus the band is made up of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme (QOTSA) and John Paul Jones (Led Zep).
    OR, you could just go to Bonnaroo this year and discover enough new music to keep you busy for quite a while ;)

    you guys rock. im looking into some of the stuff i've never heard before. yes, as pointed out i am very much into rock n roll. some southern rock is new to me but i'm liking it as well. all kinds of rock, heavy, slow, etc. i like it all.

    people tried to get me into the kinks and the cold war kids and neither of them really worked. ill give some of this stuff a listen and let you know. anyone else with suggestions feel free. Thanks!!

    Gaslight Anthem's record the '59 Sound is a fine record, the title track alone is fucking brilliant, few songs manage to capture all the emotions associated with losing someone quite so brilliantly. I'm not really sure what scene you think they belong to? I think they're a good mixture of a lot of different genres.

    Silversun Pickups are a fantastic band, although I've been listening to them for about two and a half years, so I didn't really consider them that new.

    Musically it's not reinventing the wheel, but sometimes lyrics and sheer passion can more than make up for that.

    wow, not that some of those bands aren't good (mmj is one of my favorites)...but you certainly do need to find some new bands. check out broken social scene. start with 'you forgot it in people'. you should check out wilco as well. it's hard to recommend bands to someone though when you have no idea who they have and haven't already heard, what their taste is etc.

    Go on itunes and search all the new artists. Thats what I do. Right now im listening to OK Go's new album (pretty cool if you like rock fused with electronica)

    One band you have to check is White Denim. Heres a thread I made about them a few weeks back:

    It's not weird. You just got into good music early. Some will hopefully branch out and explore new musical horizons or will sadly stay stuck in a rut and follow the "in" thing.

    to the OP
    here is another good band:

    Eagles of Death metal. All 3 albums are great- but the debut is a classic.
    good call on Wilco

    Our lady peace has been around for awhile,but their new album is really good. I've Benn on an OLP kick lately.

    here are some more:
    Traveling Wilburys
    stone Gossard's solo record
    Jeff Ament's solo album is pretty good
    Mad season
    PJ: 10/14/00 06/09/03 10/4/09 11/15/13 11/16/13 10/08/14

    Someone earlier mentioned The Black Keys. I would also recommend checking out Dan Auerbach of The Keys solo album, "Keep It Hid". Probably the album of the year in my opinion and it doesn't get much love.
