Best New Bands (2000-current)

[pocketrockets]

The majority of the posters here are long timers, we can agree the best music was created during the 60s through the 90s with the last gasps of rocknroll burning down mid 90's. However there seems to be a great misconception about music nowadays, most say all bands now suck... this thread is meant to proof the contrary... feel free to post your suggestions... only bands born after Y2K.

I'll start with a personal favorite, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

I'll jump in with a band whose song I heard on the radio yesterday but I know nothing about them.

Putting this here because in my whole history of listening to music on the radio I've heard prolly only 25 Songs altogether that i immediately said "Holy Shit, thats really unusually good"normally I have to hear a song about 10 times before I like it...

And I've been listening to Radio since I got a portable radio at 6 years old (1970 or 71) and the very first song I heard on it after my dad finally got the square 9 Volt Battery in right was "The End" by The Doors which is freekin cosmic cuz I only heard it that one time on the radio...on KHJ and it completely changed my whole Life.

Imagine the most beffudled child in the entire history of the universe lol. WTF did I just HEAR????

Ain't suggesting by any means that this song is "extra-ordinary" especially but to be amongst just 25 or so songs I liked immediately at 1st hearing is special and considering how hard it is to write an excellent Rock Song now a days with so much having been done, having to avoid repeating that, just duplicating it...

I feel this song is special cuz it accomplishes a "how the hell hasn't this arrangement already been MADE catchy-ness and simple Rock Genius or excellent flow, catchy hook and whatever else might be applicable

On bands..LifeHouse, 3 Days Grace, Evanescence, Barlow Girls...all those and other "Religious" Rock bands are revolutionary. Like Christian Rock or don't all that came before was Stryper pretty much and BloodGood a band out of WAS state no one ever hear of but should....hear at least their song "Messiah".

Like Religious Rock or don't you must acknowledge that these bands have, by making extra-ordinarily listenable Rock on par with mainstream stuff that they are revolutionary and thus must mentions in this context.

Theatre Of Tragedy, as well.....to some degree anyways...."When he Falleth" or whatever its called....

Goo Goo Dolls and Foo Fighters but not sure either of those would count cuz neither actually originated post 2000 but mentioned based on their post 2000 work. Johnnny Cash in that vein as well, his post 2000 stuff....Tom Waits oh now I am totally breaking the rules...
Check Goo Goo Dolls History though if you don't know it. They began years ago as a straight up PUNK BAND. Its interesting.

Eminem of course...yet another thats not post 2000 prolly, this is hard for me cuz I ignor Time. Clocks. Time is an absurd concept to me.

Thus do I rarely get my bets in on events happening in UK.


Theres so many bands I could mention...if only I had a brain.

Time to hit that yella brick road with Dorothy.

Scott, I suggest you listen to one of their entire albums, I usually regard a band by great albums not great songs... albums in which 70% of the songs are good are awesome. I personally love Howl, Baby 81, BRMC and Beat the Devil's Tattoo... those 4 albums meet the criteria above... the album called The Effects of 333 by them sucks.

I completely and absolutely agree pockets. Albums. Totally.

When an arrangement is as extraordinary as that Thousand Foot Krutch above though is....its like a very very rare thing.

Thus IMO at least an extremely rare, like, literally 1 in a million exception. Very very brief perusal of Krutch's other recent stuff suggests nothing else of theres is even close to this....I could be mikstaken, have to go deeper when I have time to do so but that arrangement above is SO good with the changes within the song structure, phrasing...the entire package, that shits like otherwordly pockets, like written by Aliens or something..."Divine Intervention" could only be responsible really. Difficult to imagine mere Human Being could compose a song that structurally (vocal phrasing mainly plus shifts...breaks, melodic changes within the tune) IMO at least is as extraordinary as that.

Thats song is in the neighborhood of GNRs early stuff amazing Rock Structure and listenability-wise. An exclusive neighborhood which includes Scorpions, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Queensryche and such.

 

[TheFalls]

In general music is weak these days.

But these guys are prob my fave band. And this song is almost 15 yrs old, but timeless.

Interpol is awesome man, their first album is top notch!

A more wimpy example perhaps but also in that neighborhood pockets would be Def Leppard and I take the time to type their name because, while I personally consider them to be Not Hard Enough to really accord themselves the respect with me those 5 Bands we're discussing have the Klutch song I included is comparable best for Commerical Rock Genius of Compoition to Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" with a lean for Hardness to.....something less wimpy that "Pour" by Def Lep.

Which, yeah.."Pour Some Sugar On Me" is wimpy as hell but structurally and for its purpose was sheer and absolute genius. As is the Klutch song. It'd be well compared to several Scorpions tunes as well....humongous hits they had. Less hard that "Painkiller" by Priest...also another structurally genius tune that was a shock cuz Priest had been at it so long then they bust out with the amazingly melodic and hard Painkiller...huge album for them and especially at that late stage of their careers.....

I LOVE DEF LEPPARD MAN... people say they are a wimpy band in general but people ignore their 1st 2 albums had great hard rock tunes

 

[C.P.]

I just heard this guy...Justin Beber....sounds mad cool

I actually don't mean "wimpy" in any way even remotely close to disrespectful....if that is possible.

Let me switch to "less hard metal" maybe?

Gotta switch to something cuz wimpy ain't good. And its not the right word to illustrate what I meant.

Well it can't be debated Def Lep catches a nice tight metal Groove there at about 2:58.

WTF happened to Aerosmith?

"Rocks"....Toys in The Attic Train Kept a Rollin and so many others to what they made later...

soundtrack to some unwatchable Will Smith Movie or whatever...

plummet like the world just ain't seen

They stacked up a lot of Duckies though.

How did Joe Perry not lose his mind? Behind their musical transformation?

Their plummet into that abyss?

I haven't heard of Justin Beber but theres a kid out of Canada with a similar name Justin Beiver or something like that that is not especially hard music wise but his Crewe certainly is....TMT The Money Team and his house parties oh you def want an invite w-thumbs!^ but its cool to just show up disable the electric fence via a Hammons Reverse Current Osciillator or just stuff a subway sandwich or a Long John Chocolate Bar Donut you can get at The Ralph's Market up the road from his place in Cala(basas) stuff one of them things between the 2 holes where the electric beam comes out of and hop the wall then blend in.

BRO YOU NAILED IT... LOVE OLD SCHOOL AEROSMITH... What happened later oh well... I liked Nine Lives tho

 

[ML Dog]

I give Props to Aerosmith for making songs that were great for their lane, their "purpose" Genius compositions so don't misunderstand at all, I ain't even ragging on them just saying what we had was amazing then what we got later was much much different.

 

[slapshot]

HAHAHA Aerosmith got sober and Night In The Ruts was the the first of many bad records to come hno:
