PROVE ROCK ISN'T DEAD! Post a great new group!

[Taverner]

That is, a group who wasn't formed before the nineties.

I'll start


Deerhunter
Stephen Malkmus
Belle and Sebastian
Blitzen Trapper

[Dr Fate]

1. The Black Lips.

If Rock & Roll is dead, someone forgot to tell these kids...

[jpljr77]

2. The Raconteurs. Maybe they don't count, "super-group" and all...

but they rawk.

On Belle and Sebastian...they've been around a while. Not sure they can be called "new".

[Tom Kitten]

3. I like the Kaiser Chiefs

I know, derivitive, but I find some of their tunes catchy...

[enigmatic]

4. Richmond Fontaine

Best band in North America:

5. Against Me!, Bloc Party, Arctic Monkeys, Jaguar Love, Cursive, The Bronx, These Arms Are Snakes

Modest Mouse, The Walkmen, We Are Scientists, The Horrors, Gallows, Fucked Up, The (International) Noise Conspiracy, Head Automatica, Interpol, Editors, The Marked Men, Randy, Murder by Death, Portugal. The Man, Selfish Cunt (Oh noes, bad word! Good band though), TV on the Radio, Whirlwind Heat, And You Will Know Us By The Trail of Dead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

That's just a really quick scan through my ipod.

6. Add The Hold Steady

And TV On The Radio. Many more, but the line between pop, rock, and alternative is not very clear.

[mvd]

9. Vivian Girls is a good new female rock band

Much better than critical fave Marnie Stern IMO..

[nemo137]

19. Second on Hold Steady.

I saw them twice in two years last year. It ruled.

[Sebastian Doyle]

7. Electric Eel Shock

Yeah, their English isn't very good, but so what?

[electricmonk]

8. A band I'm plugging at every opportunity

Mr Gnome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9w6UNiKuoAs http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FLbw2wLMsk

A few more worth checking out.
The Bellrays http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIxMLbxeo64

Noisettes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOnGv-gbkWA

The Subways http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPgPanpwM0o

Dressy Bessy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeBdakicGYE

Took me over an hour to make this post. Got looking for a few videos and kept seeing other videos I wanted to see and next thing I know an hour's gone. Damn YouTube.

[LeftyMom]

10. By before the nineties, do you mean after 1990 or after 2000?

I need to know how much bandwidth I'm killing catching you up. :D

[Tom Kitten]

11. The High Violets

A local band I've seen several times, living proof that shoegazing lives!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edRq99Kk6S0&feature=related

[Kat45]

12. Buckcherry, Damone n/t

[mvd]

13. Good choices!

:thumbsup:

[nomorenomore08]

22. That "Crazy Bitch" song is a guilty pleasure of mine.

In terms of sheer sleaze, it makes Motley Crue sound like The Archies. :P

[Kat45]

23. You should see it when they do it live.

It's quite a raucous good time! :D

[LeftyMom]

27. Oh, that song inspires me to new heights of hate.

It's catchy, but the lyrics are vile.

[Danger Mouse]

14. Rilo Kiley. The New Pornographers. Bright Eyes.

[Initech]

15. New Pornographers, Against Me!, Arcade Fire, Black Keys, Gogol Bordello, OSI

[Radical Activist]

31. Black Keys

Are one of my favorite new bands. They would be much more famous if corporate radio didn't suck so much ass.

[MassLiberal]

34. Love them too

[mvd]

37. Love the New Pornographers

That's where the label gets muddy, though.. they could be power pop, indie pop, rock, etc.

[PassingFair]

16. The Academy Is...

Teh hotness.

[GimmeDANEger]

18. Boris

Spiritualized
King Khan and the Shrines
Jay Reatard
Jesu

[Lucian]

20. Pic:

Oh, you said Rock, not THE Rock.

[coyotespaw]

21. Well, there's Disturbed...

after that, I'm out of ideas...

[nomorenomore08]

24. Pretty much any band featuring Stephen O'Malley - Thorr's Hammer, Burning Witch, Khanate, Sunn 0))).

Burning Witch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OdQKpq4qXfU

Khanate: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UD4EGN2MQjk

Sunn 0))): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vtnG6EHh1N4

[grannylib]

25. I like Elbow.

[Radical Activist]

26. Most new groups are way too whiny for me.

But I do like MGMT.

[Initech]

28. Check out Gogol Bordello

They definitely do not fit the "whiny douchebag musician" category.

[Radical Activist]

29. Their front web page appears to reference Bergman.

That's a good start. I normally hate all accordion music but I'm going to keep listening. Thanks for the recommendation.

[Radical Activist]

30. Louis XIV

Almost forgot them. They kick serious rock n roll ass. Like a younger, better and more punk AC/DC. Of course, they don't get much radio airplay like all good new music.

[DBoon]

32. Deerhoof, Dollyrots, Gram Rabbit

No Age, Darker My Love

[mvd]

35. Oooh.. good call on The Dollyrots

They're kind of pop, kind of rock - but all good.

[mvd]

33. One kick

I've noticed a dearth of good alternative and hard rock rock bands. Not too many Aerosmiths, Holes, Nirvanas, Pearl Jams and Stone Temple Pilots around. A lot of Nickelback clones and bad Slipknot-type metal IMO. So I'd like to add to my list.

[MassLiberal]

36. Kings of Leon

[bluethruandthru]

39. I second that!

Kings of Leon - fantastic!

[bridgit]

38. Well...who knows from 'rock', but Azam Ali rawkz! -- Niyaz: The Hunt "Live"
