Your VERY favorite recent bands/artists

[NMC]

The Mars Volta (although they've been around for about 10 years)
TV on The Radio (been around for about the same length of time)
Karnivool are brilliant, they've been mentioned a couple of times so far in this thread
Black Country Communion - kind of like a throw back to Hughes' days in Sabbath. Plenty of heavy tunes and a kind of hard rock/blues feel to them.

 

[HeadyVan Halen]

Maybe a 'lil late on the scene, but discovered 'Popa Chubby' like last night..wow
Tab Benoit
Citizen Cope
and
Dele Sosimi...if you like groove + Jazz + Soul, they are the best..not one of, not near the top, they are stupid good with a sick bass player.

I am into anything Country these days. It's just a mostly happier medium. Rock seems so angry and pathological these days.

Deer Tick, Tallest Man on Earth, and AA Bondy are country-ish and pretty darn good. Tallest Man & AA Bondy are folky, and Deer Tick is kinda country rock.

 

[LIONFURY]

Definitely RED, The Letter Black, and Decyfer Down

I just discovered Karnivool last weekend, love their sound. Went out and bought all their albums at once.

I recently discovered Karnivool for myself, and they are my favorite band now. I'm about to spin Themata now...

This thread deserves a restart, so I Will.

Surgeon, monsterbator (), monument of swords( monumentofswords.bandcamp.com)

I don't know if I just have a particularly good local underground music scene, but I don't see many people that actually like the music where they live...
