Look at the White Stripes (Not Get Behind Me Satan, tis lame.) Also try queens of the Stone Age (Steer clear of Lullabies to Paralyze, the other three albums are great.) Also try Mark Lanegan, especially Bubblegum and Whiskey for the Holy Ghost.
EDIT: If you liked Mark Lanegan, you'll also appreciate Screaming Trees.
ummmm, the orig poster asked for new bands
so before you say "no" to tv on the radio, or the hold steady, realize that the white stripes, qotsa and screaming trees are far from new or adventurous.....they are mundane staples of "alt rock"

As far as My Morning Jacket is concerned, I recommend starting with their album 'It Still Moves', after the hoopla about them on the boards recently, I came across it in the store and just bought it on a whim and loved it. So then I went out and bought 'Z', and did not enjoy it nearly as much, I also bought Okonokos at the same time and was disapointed to find that it contained about 3/4 songs from Z, although I enjoyed the live versions of tracks from It Still Moves. It Still Moves has a lot more straight up rock on it, and for me that's all that counts!!!

Don't limit yourself to new bands, go back in time as well, Hendrix, Moody Blues, Janis Joplin (Pearl), ZZ Top, Load/Garage Inc/S&M era Metallica, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, esp II & III, early Santana, Gerry Rafferty, Cold Chisel, Hunters and Collectors, Rodriguez, Stones (Sticky Fingers/Get yer Yaya's Out/Emotional Rescue/Tattoo You), early Dire Straits.
Have to say that White Stripes is a favourite, Elephant, not alt rock but really dirty delta blues in disguise ( too well disguised at times, behind the hype).
Jack's voice and feral guitar playing are mighty inspiring to me!! Se BAll and Biscuit
