Starting a thread on them because their third LP comes out tomorrow and many people here still seem to be stuck in the grungy 90s and these dudes have a wide array of 90s influence, including grungy bands. A bit Blond Redhead and My Bloody Valentine, a bit Nirvana and Smashing Pumpkins. They don't directly rip off those bands, but its a good mashup of early 90s alt-rock and shoegaze. 

Anyway, I see people continually complain there aren't any great new bands that sound like the old bands, here is DIIV and they are a really great band.

    I saw them open up for Japandroids about 5 years ago. I don't have any of their music but I dug them when I saw them. Def. had a 90's "grunge" vibe when i saw them.
