Are there any great new bands out there?

Like the old Bush, Counting Crows, Gin Blossoms, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Better than Ezra...

Any body can help me out what is the hottest shit right now?

After seeing Pearl Jam in Arnhem next Tuesday I will go on holidays!
Arnhem will be fantastic. Wolfmother will open...

Thanks

    I just picked up Thee Emergency. They have an amazing amount of energy and Dita Vox has an amazing voice. I hope to see them at Bumpershoot.

    Kings of Leon- amazing stuff coming from these guys 1st 2 albums blew my mind and i'm sure susequent releases will do the same.

    Sam Roberts- from Montreal they released an album a few weeks b4 Avacado was released and IMO Chemical City is FAR superior(don't tell any of myfriends that i said that)

    You should check out Sam Roberts first album "we were born in a flame"..its even better..he is one of the best rock acts out right now for sure

    My Morning Jacket is the best rock band in America right now IMO.

    Never liked SK
    Prefer Racontuers to WS,
    Queens are decent and cool PJ connection 1st album released on Loosegroove
    Strokes 3rd most overrated band of last decade( Raiohead and Coldplay 1&2)
    but i may need to grab me up some Flaming Lips, i like what i've heard of theirs so far.
