    The Bug Club (welsh indie rock band). Heard these guys on my local internet radio (y-not radio) last year. They have just put out an album last week.. Liking what I heard and they are playing in philly on Friday which I might go and check out.

    The OP has not been active for 6 years. I guess the answer is, 'no'.

    If you have SiriusXM radio, the XMU channel is a great source to hear newer bands.

    Most of these bands aren't very new but aren't overly popular either except for a couple

    The Criticals - from Nashville, sound exactly like The Strokes 

    New Translations - Indie Rock 

    The Beaches - all girl pop rock from Toronto 

    GA-20 - Boston band Chicago Blues 

    Wet Leg - UK indie rock (getting very popular, not very new but new-ish) 

    Lambrini Girls - UK pop punk

    The Chats - Aussie punk

    Weakened Friends - Alt/indie Rock 

    Pinklids - Alt/indie Rock

    Black Pistol Fire - Southern Rock mixed with garage rock (not new but they are under the radar a bit)

    Drink the Sea - new band but it's made of people from big bands like R. E. M., QOTSA, Them Crooked Vultures 

    Hello Mary - Alt Rock

    White Reaper - Garage Punk Rock

    Castle Rat (came across them in my youtube recommended videos). Defiantly think early 80's metal. No idea where they are from.

    If you like Hole, Elastica & Wet Leg check out Ribbon Skirt. Great new-ish band on the rise from Ontario.

    wicked ! thanks for the suggestion! listening now and digging it

    I'm in my 50's so maybe out of the loop, but I wish there was a way of finding out about these bands without exhaustive research and/or luck. Local indie newspapers are all gone. I used to pick one up every thursday that would have all these types of bands mentioned.

    Yes it’s a lot more work keeping up than it used to be! I lucked out with this band cuz they’re currently with Mint Records here in Vancouver so I saw some local promo. They made the finals for the Polaris prize this year too & are getting lots of hype from that now.

    Not exactly new, but over the past weekend I was introduced to a punk rock band from Australia called Amyl and the Sniffers.   They're awesome.  Really enjoying their albums.
