Best recent band I've come across that aren't on your list are Gaslight Anthem, great band.

fillmore jive

Camera Obscura, get in.

Try and get this move over to the indie forum, might get better responses considering what you've listed so far.

No wonder you're in a rut listening to all those Q magazine-type bands.

Currently burning out:
The Brian Jonestown massacre [they're like dandy warhols only they're actually good at what they do]
Ataxia
Biffy Clyro
Crystal Castles
Sage Francis
Slint
John Frusciante

Judgin by what the general style of what you listed you might not find any of them too offensive to your ears. Give em a spin sez I!

kathyd91

Passion Pit are amazing. Been listening to their album on repeat for most of the past few days.

If you're stuck in a rut, try listening to some music you wouldn't normally listen to.

How about some Jazz?

introduce yourself to The Stone Roses and you will never look back:)

I recommend you and everyone you know listen to Dan Deacon. Especially Wham City, it's such a ridiculous song. You'll have a smile plastered on your face from beginning to end.

Old time favourites if your sick of today's music, thats I did.


Y'know, Bee Gees, Nirvana, Michael Jackson, Beatles, Elvis, Stevie Wonder etc.

Great Music from the past,

Get into Dylan, Neil Young, Tim Buckley, Joni Mitchell, Richard Thompson if you are not already. A lot, if not all, of the acts you list are influenced by some/all of these. More recent artists Anthony and the Johnsons, Rufus and Martha Wainwright, Teddy Thompson are some you might enjoy

Seing as you have listed some bands influenced by the popier side of early 80's post punk I would recommend checking out The Chameleons UK and of their 3 albums would be a good place to start although their début script of the bridge might be the best place
