Need help looking for new music...

Since it might be another 2 years before another new PJ CD, and me approaching my mid-thirties, I've realized my CD collection has become really dated.

So I've been trying to find some new rock bands, but I'm having trouble finding some I really get into.

I liked Audioslave, but they're gone. I'm starting to get into the White Stripes, and Wolfmother is alright, but nothing makes me excited like Tom Petty or Pearl Jam.

I just want to find a couple of good rock bands that I can listen to to kill time between PJ releases.

Any ideas?

    Twilight singers are fucking awesome, particularly their latest album Powder Burns. Download the song There Has Been An Accident and see what you think.

    First of all, if you like Pearl Jam then we can probably assume you like hard rock. Screaming Trees is a very good band which is relatively similar to mid 90's Pearl Jam.

    Same suggestion. Whenever I go on a PJ hiatus, I (nearly exclusively) play the Twilight Singers.

    Screaming Trees is also a great suggestion, along with some Mark Lanegan solo work.

    Or how about some good ol' Local H.

    Pack Up The Cats is a monster of a rock album.

    Thanks, I'll look into the Twilight Singers. Never heard of them.

    I've got some Screaming Trees, that's why my collection is dated. It's all early '90's.

    I've heard some MMJ, but I doesn't sound something I would like.

    I've been hearing good things about the Derek Trucks Band. Are they pretty heavy? I'll have to check them out.

    Thanks again

    DTB aren't heavy at all really. Songlines is a superb album its a blend of a ton of various styles and Derek Trucks plays a mean slide guitar. I love the album and I loved seeing the guys open for The Allman Brothers Band last June.

    Clutch! Try either Robot Hive/Exodus or Blast Tyrant. They've evolved into this fantastically heavy blues-rock band. Great guitar work and brilliant lyrics that have a tremendous flow.
