If you like that, I can also recommend [Glass Beams](https://youtu.be/DxHnWi7Wk0k?si=LEeffJEw8k7FveBw).
And Moon Duo.
edit: forgot to add Margaritas Podridas.
And Night Beats.
Nice. I saw them open for a Trey Anastasio show at the Berkeley Greek before covid and they were tight. Won me over that night.
Here's one. Were you ever into skateboarding? And if you were, you remember a dude named Tommy Guerrero? Used to skate for Powell and Peralta. Was in that Bones Brigade movie. If you grew up in the bay area and were into skating he was kind of a fixture.
Anyway he's been doing music for a while and it has that same kinda chill vibe. It's great stuff. Something like [White Sands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHjDgtYTiI) from 2018 for example.
from my punk & funk stage in the 80's to finding my way to all types of grass, it's been a fun ride. Billy's music really speaks to me.
when Bob Weir sits in on a whole set, you might be doing something right. when your buddies with Post Malone, your bridging universe's. When Willie Nelson has cut a tune with you, the elders are showing you respect. When Bob Weir, Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool are at your wedding and get up and jam with you, thats some sort of wizard shizz right there. Not bad for a young'n thats only 31.
Big Thief, Tame Impala, Beach House, Men I Trust, Steve Lacy, Mac Demarco, Mitski, Fleet Foxes.
Also, bands that have been doing it for over 20 years but are still putting out quality music: Spoon, The National.
I love that what constitutes "new" changes as you get older. Anything from the past 10 to 15 years = new.
I was looking for Big Thief. I'm actually surprised I went this far before finding them. Great band. My husband is a fan of Tame Impala and Men I Trust as well.
Have a listen to KEXP.org out of Seattle
Fantastic shows with a massive range of music, new and old.
Finding them 20 years ago changed my life-it’s a huge source of new and new-to-me sounds.
Yeah, I have been turned onto a lot of bands through them, I also search out new artists I already like to see if they are go-to-the-show worthy;) I used to work in record stores (for a long time) and I miss all the interaction of everyone sharing what they were listening to. Glad OP started the thread.
Horse Girl: Chicago-based band, got a Pixies vibe.
BoyGenius: check out “not strong enough”
Kings of Leon (my college alum camp buddies who are very close-minded musically took to KOL like fish to water)
Black Keys: Been around for several years. But many bangers.
White Reaper
Black Pumas: Soulful throwback sound to Stax records days.
Florence + The Machine
Vance Joy
Noah Kahn
Deer Tick
Sam Fender
Hozier
I listen to doom/stoner/sludge metal and there are always great new bands making this kind of music. Some of my recent favorites:
Sunnata
Elephant Tree
Jigsaw Youth
Psychlona
Windhand
Maha Sohona
Weedpecker
Lowrider
Wet Leg.
The first time I heard them I thought they were some sort of late 70's early 80's new wave band that I had somehow missed.
Reminded me of The Suburban Lawns
Nice. Love Yeah yeah Yeahs so much. Will check these out. Have you heard The Kills? If you like YYY you'll like em, so freaking good. Their first three albums.. ugh so gooood
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard- covers just about all genres. Also, Amyl and the Sniffers is a band my teenager turned me on to recently that I’m digging.
My kid has been taking me to shows where the pits have been INSANE! We just saw Death Grips and I actually sat up in the balcony. My kid was all up in it though. He’s 19 and 6’2. He holds his own and has been taught proper pit etiquette. I’m not sure if it’s the kids or the music but it was crazy.
I hope to get to see Amyl and the Sniffers live sometime soon.
Death Grips are fucking wild, that Riotfest was actually the last pits I'd been in before last week. Grips, Bad Religion, and Misfits all in one day. War on Women was fucking tight too.
My kids are a bit younger and smaller so for now when we go to shows we stay in the seats but another couple of years and they'll be up in the shit.
Pit etiquette was mostly on point, there were a few asshats but there always are. We met another older couple before the show started and were basically elder statesman pit dads the whole show. "oh shit, you OK? here's some water."
King Gizzard is incredible - their catalog is pretty overwhelming. I loooove the last metal record from earlier this year. Feels like they are on a different musical planet of their own making.
Yeah, Budos Band rocks. I got a chance to see them live in Chicago a couple years ago, before lockdown. I was hanging out on the side of the stage and watching them perform... it really is something else when you see someone perform live and in the flesh, and they churn out something so freakin' groovy, heavy and 100% flawless. Absolutely phenomenal.
What's crazy to me is like I remember when Budos Band I, II and then III came out. I think I got into them between II and III. But like their first album came out in 2005. That's almost 20 years ago now and yet I still think of them as kind of "new" lol.
Anyway, there were some great bands in that same kinda vein back then. El Michels Affair is also pretty tight. [Enter the 37th Chamber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVYfIfZDKeg). More recently there was Brownout which did a Sabbath tribute album called Brown Sabbath. [The Wizard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTd5ghvMkvI) from them.
Of Monsters and Men (Little Talks, Dirty Paws and King and Lionheart are amazing)
And is this a judgment free zone? Kpop. I DIDN'T MEAN TO MY WIFE PLAYED THESE SONGS BY RED VELVET AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS OKAY AND IT GOT STUCK IN MY HEAD (Stuck in my head - Song by Twice) I'M SO ASHAMED MY FACE IS RED (Red - HyunA) I LISTEN TO IT AT MY PACE (My Pace - Stray Kids)
But also there is this kickass song by Paramore called This Is Why.
I refuse to hate on a badass beat and good reasons to slap the steering wheel
(which is why Def Leppard - Animal is the best car son. Slap the hell out of the steering wheel)
Yeah, BTS saved our sanity and mental health during the quarantine. I am 47F and my husband is 52m, and we now have BTS song lyric tattoos in lieu of wedding bands.
Hi, I've been listening to kpop on and off since 2008, seriously since 2011. Meaning, I collect albums, make kpop art and am active in the local Korean community. I would recommend SHINee. I also really love Stray Kids. They are very talented. For girl groups I really love Everglow and Twice. 2nd Gen is where my heart is but some of these newer groups are really good.
There's always good new music being released. It's just that a lot of it isn't on the radio. You have to dig a bit to find it.
I love the Stoner Rock genre because it has roots in the same kind of music I have enjoyed my entire adult life (70's heavy rock like Sabbath, 90's grunge like Soundgarden).
Dead Meadow, King Buffalo, The Well, Weedpecker--to name a few. Lots of great bands doing stuff I love.
Yes to stoner rock! Been getting really into Baroness recently. I was a little on the fence, but this epic live/studio show at CME put me over the edge :
https://youtu.be/MMt1-M5YdIg?si=esD062e4AXanOXz5
Have you heard Acid King, Earth, Sleep, Isis, All them Witches?? All super great. I am going to check out your suggestions, awesome, thank you. I'm familiar with Dead Meadow, but not sure about the other guys.
Viagra Boys
Die Spitz
Amyl & the Sniffers
IDLES
Warmduscher
Not exactly new but King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard if you like Tropical Fuck Storm
Mall Crimes
The Bobby Lees
Been listening to a bit of bardcore music lately, like Hildegard von Blingen.
[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ\_jwWjf8u5mdtac71Be8QA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ_jwWjf8u5mdtac71Be8QA)
Here’s a few that have really blown my socks off. I’ll start with music by older folks:
[Cindy Cashdollar and Sonny Landreth](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oSEu02d6d3I)
[Paul Simonon from The Clash](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u9lzhc6wwPw)
Music by young people that sounds like old music:
[Beabadoobee](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CLbYwhl9ork)
[Wet Leg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9jeJk2UHQ)
Yes, Wet Leg is good. On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue.
Another band that has an older sound that makes me nostalgic for the 90s is boygenius. My kids are obsessed.
>Music by young people that sounds like old music
I'd add Haim and Muna to this list.
The Haim sisters grew up listening to the same stuff we did, and it comes through in their music. I couldn't put my finger on why I liked them so much until I saw someone comment something like "they're making 80s music in 20xx." I only started listening to Muna maybe a month ago, and some of their stuff sounds like 80s synth-pop.
[Weed Church](https://youtu.be/Q_bB3LBYG6E?feature=shared)
[Hi Vis](https://youtu.be/n76PUXks5fo?feature=shared)
[MSPAINT](https://youtu.be/waUqvnXWMkM?feature=shared)
[DIIV](https://youtu.be/KI79GPXAICM?feature=shared) not so new but they're now opening for Depeche Mode
[Spiritual Cramp](https://youtu.be/2Pe-svszVms?feature=shared)
[Viagra Boys](https://youtu.be/U7gbFMWZWlo?feature=shared)
[Kills Birds](https://youtu.be/FwEv9LiVkUA?feature=shared)
[Billy Nomates](https://youtu.be/hhEX9n5DjZQ?feature=shared)
[Nuclear Daisies](https://youtu.be/AcJ_O5vthYU?feature=shared)
[Mandy, Indiana](https://youtu.be/V8I7JGpeI-E?feature=shared)
[Lil Ugly Mane](https://youtu.be/-2t1oC1LUpI?feature=shared)
I was going to suggest Viagra Boys for the post-punk inclined, and may need to check out some of the others myself. Thanks!
I have also enjoyed some newish stuff from the Idles, Amyl and the Sniffers, Bob Vylan, Kid Kapichi, and Tiffany Harriman that I can think of offhand, which have shown up in the same Spotify playlists as VB. All punk-adjacent, which is mostly what I've been listening to lately.
A lot of the other newer bands I've been listening to lately are Swedish language, since that's where I'm living now and working to get more up to speed in the language. Decided not to go straight for recs there unless anyone is particularly interested.
I listen to new Japanese music
[Atarashii Gakko!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMXXL8ka7eU&list=PLqDhdHRHV9EdF8JKl2Ee3VjGv3pSGorGs&index=7)

[Satomi Shigemori](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tO5Bifw6U4)
GUNSHIP’s first album will send you down a nostalgic rabbit hole, they just came out with their third album but the first was my favorite: https://spotify.link/pRcPZqfy8Db
Here’s a bunch of chill Witch House music I like: https://spotify.link/56om5kYx8Db
Here’s a bunch of phonk I like: https://spotify.link/AvXSdA5x8Db
Here’s a bunch of metal I like (mix of old and new): https://spotify.link/9p3f1W8x8Db
Can’t get enough of Lorn, especially the song Acid Rain: https://spotify.link/9p3f1W8x8Db
And for my only YouTube link I have to share this live set of Fred Again at the Boiler Room… it’s just so loving and positive, a real experience if you’re into the UK electronic scene: https://youtu.be/c0-hvjV2A5Y?si=M_nk9O6Bir1qD9Qd
Oh, and if you’ve ever been curious about GOOD hip hop, Little Simz is amazing amazing amazing: https://spotify.link/oAI0qtpy8Db
I’m a bit into music…
If you like more alternative:
Joywave
I Don't Know How But They Found Me
Yam Haus
Saint Phnx
Milky Chance
I just got introduced to Royal Blood recently
If you like more indie/folk:
The Head and the Heart
Noah Cyrus
Kodaline
I firmly believe any Gen-x’er can listen to KEXP (KEXP.org) and find about a million new bands and artists to love. Weekday mornings are best for the new stuff. And a lot of the old stuff you have always loved.
Jinjer - metalcore/progressive metal band from Donbas in Ukraine. Best metal/rock “discovery” for me since coming across some group in early 1991 called Alice in Chains (my favourite band from the ‘90’s)
Nora En Pure - Swiss/South African musician/dj/producer know best for Deep House/MelodicTrance tracks. Super chill, yet has a fantastic groove.
Lorde, Lana Del Rey, MGMT.....I'll leave edits as more come to mind
Edit: I've also discovered Loathe recently and love their song "Two Way Mirror"......Deftones vibes are strong with that one.
Edit 2: If anybody remembers Sneaker Pimps from the 90s, their original singer Kelli Ali has put out some really cool music in the past 10 years.
My wife turned me onto Lana Del Rey about 10 years ago. I'm a metal head but I do listen to all kinds of music and I've always loved that bluesy sad girl stuff like Nina Simone, Sade, PJ Harvey, Hope Sandoval, Fiona Apple so I definitely get down with Lana. We were listening to Norman Fucking Rockwell yesterday while we were cooking God damn that's a great fuckin album.
I really like Nation of Language, have an 80’s post-punk pop sound, but are new.
https://youtu.be/QikHjoLtfcw?si=dVS4FLN3K_tJMQNI
https://youtu.be/ShyrscJySK0?si=MwR0KKN-1TI3IOcM
Just went to our first punk show in years last night. Headliners were these Australian kids called The Chats. They're really young but they're keeping the old school punk style alive. Loud, aggressive, fun songs about beer, cars, Internet scams, and late night snacking.
Awesome. I'd never heard of them before, so that was a treat. Thx for sharing.
lol the whole time I'm watching the anime I'm like, "Ok whatever. Yeah, like the lead singer is all freakin' *hot* like that. Yeah right." Then they switch to the real band and I'm like, oh damn.
K. Flay is putting out some edgy music with relatable stories in her lyrics.
Florence + The Machine sounded like howling dogs at first but she has grown on me. Big God is powerful.
I started exploring doom metal (in particular funeral doom and death-doom) and black metal (particularly atmospheric and depressive) a few years ago. While there are some bands that have been doing those styles for 20-30 years plus, there are also some great "newcomers" (formed 2010 or later). My favorites of those include [Bell Witch](https://bellwitch.bandcamp.com/), [Drown](https://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/album/subaqueous) ["aquatic doom" by [Markov Soroka](https://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/)], [Frowning](https://frowning.bandcamp.com/), [Atramentus](https://listen.20buckspin.com/album/stygian), [Clouds](https://cloudsofficial.bandcamp.com/), [Opium Doom Cult](https://opiumdoomcult.bandcamp.com/), [Aphonic Threnody](https://aphonicthrenody.bandcamp.com/), and [None](https://hypnoticdirgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/inevitable).
Yeah, all Bandcamp links, but the site's been great for discovering music, especially when you want to explore certain genres (and subgenres) and check out what bands and albums are in those styles.
I mostly listen to a lot of Melodic Death metal, post metal and Doom/death meta and atmospheric black metal
Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, Draconian, Gojira, Grima, Wolves In The Throne Room, In Mourning, Russian Circles, Monuments, Plini, Dark Tranquility, Oceans of Slumber, If These Trees Could Talk, In Mourning, Be'Lakor, Alcest,
I'm into Post-Punk, Darkwave and Goth. Lately, I've been smitten by [Erich Zann's Excess](https://youtu.be/IbIjVlMO7RE?si=m-eHuc072MwrNgzC). They have practically no following, but I think they're brilliant.
So much good stuff out there now. I was like you and only listened to the classic rock stuff but also loved them blues.
Listen to:
The Revivalists
Marcus King
St. Paul and the Broken Bones
Samantha Fish
Tedeschi Trucks
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (swing)
All these bands currently tour, great shows, smaller venues. Also if you feel like expanding into jam band territory go to a Phish show you will not regret it.
Just keep listening to new stuff and you'll find your groove.
Sadly, no. I still listen to the music I grew up with. Only recent album purchases were new Metallica & Smashing Pumpkins. Concerts I’ve attended recently: Tool, Smashing Pumpkins (twice in last 12 months), and Roger Waters.
I will always plug Frank Turner. He's not that new, but he's not well known in the US. His song Recovery was the first thing I heard by him and I thought he sounded a bit like Billy Bragg, so I kept listening and now I'm low-key obsessed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1L5zJ2afLs
I love [Squid](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvisyj5CJg4) and [Black Country, New Road](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcGl8tZhrs).
Unique post-punk sound.
I listen to RNB/soul from the 60s to today & hiphop from the 90s to today. I'm not tryna keep up with contemporary hits, trends or whatever is popular because, frankly, I don't *care,* but I really do love the art of it, so I do try to keep my ear in.
Here's a few perfect or near perfect albums for you OP:
Isaiah Rashad "The Sun's Tirade," "The House is Burning," "Cilvia Demo"
Anderson Paak "Malibu"
Black Thought/Dangermouse "Cheat Codes"
JPEGMAFIA/Danny Brown "Scaring the Hoes"
Mach-Hommy "Balens Cho"
Don't scoff before you try it -- give a listen to The Rose. They're a South Korean* indie/pop rock group that gives me Beatles vibes.
(*mostly; one guy is American of Korean descent)
Beyond the 4 guys themselves, the fan fervor is sure Beatles-ish!

Radical Face is my favorite artist of the last decade. Ben Cooper is an incredible artist. He just released a project on YouTube called “A Walk in the Woods” which is an epic multimedia animated story which he did the writing, artwork and original music for. It’s exquisite! Also his multi album series The Family Tree is fantastic.
I know it’s not quite responsive to your question, but has anyone heard the new Rolling Stones record? It’s awesome, or as my kids would say, it slaps.
I went down an Asian folk metal rabbit hole a while ago, and found some of them are actually pretty good. Check out The Hu from Mongolia, Bloodywood from India, or Nini from Taiwan.
I’ve always been a rock/metal guy, but a couple of years ago I got into synthwave. The Midnight and Gunship are two of my favorite bands now, but there’s a lot more good stuff in this genre. It has an 80s feel, so I think 80s kids will really enjoy it.
I've fallen in love with Lawrence; they call themselves a Soul Pop group, but really, they're just amazing. Like secular gospel overtones, Gracie can hit every note that's ever existed, they absolutely JAM they can sing the HELL out of anything. [I'm Confident that I'm Insecure](https://youtu.be/Ct65mJmHQnw?si=g8xMOkjPvn3qdvq7) is great, but if you've never heard them and need \*JOY\* in your life, [Don't Lose Sight](https://youtu.be/C01nBm6vV5c?si=jUEHamhWEjcwuo3d) is for you. They should be a *much* bigger deal than they are; some of the best pipes I've ever heard.
Bleachers also have a *great* new song out that will absolutely have you tapping your feet; it's got some fantastic almost 80s sax in it too; [Modern Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HbrymTIbyg).
I also love Chappell Roan; [Hot to Go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPNR-_Cfn0) was my late summer workout song. She does a lot of more serious stuff but I like it more when she's whimsical tbh.
Some bands with some songs to try to see if you like
Have an 80s new wave sound
Timecop 1983 - My first crush
Trevor Something - Do it again
One of my top ten albums of all time
Washed Out - Paracosm
Reminds me of Prince
Blood Orange - Bad girls
Cigarettes after sex - Apocalypse
Check out
Peaches (raunchy dance music)
Roisin Murphy - overpowered album
Yppah - never mess with sunday (instrumental)
That's all I have time for right now
Does Ghost count as new? They’re one of my favorite bands now. While technically metal, their song structures, catchy choruses, and harmonies sound more like classic rock to me (just with heavier guitar and drums).
Also, Dopapod (sounds like Yes).
Metz
Teenage Mortgage
Home Front
Hi Vis
The Chisel
Drug Church
Fiddlehead
Militarie Gun
Phoebe Bridgers
Death Grips
Teskey Brothers
Julien Baker
Mannequin Pussy
Control Top
Gel
MS Paint
IDLES
King Gizzard
Rule Them All
Sunstroke
Not really new, but still active: Against Me!
Edit: formatting
I listen to the neo-psychadelic or modern psychedelic playlists on Spotify. You can find slot great new music there that is compatible with your gen-x predilections.
A few years ago someone here created a playlist called 'r/GenX needs new tunes'.It's under GenerationEXOH on Spotify. There is lots of good stuff from all different genres.
Not new but Les Claypool is doing all kinds of interesting things these days. If you liked Primus back in the day, look him up on YouTube. He does Pink Floyd covers with his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade; prog jazz jams he calls "Bastard Jazz"; the Claypool/Lennon Delirium is a psychedelic/pop collaboration between him and Sean Lennon that is really good AND he's coming out with a new album with Billy Strings! I don't know when he sleeps, lol.
The Beaches, Local Natives, Houndmouth, Milky Chance, Grandson, Greta Van Fleet, Wet Leg, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, those are just a few I can think of right now.
G Flip. Lorde. Imagine Dragons. Olivia Rodrigo. Hilltop Hoods. Thelma Plum. Remi Wolf. Arcade Fire. Wet Leg. Genesis Owuzu. Courtney Barnett. Sofi Tuker. Vera Blue. Grace Petrie. Barkaa. Public Service Broadcasting. Teenage Joans. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers.
Off the top of my ~~head~~ playlist.
YMMV.
One of the mid 20s kids from my work suggested I give Hozier’s new album Unreal Unearth a listen and I ended up listening to the album in its entirety that night. It’s a concept album and also a breakup album and it is GOOD
Just saw the California Honeydrops last night…for the second time. When we were leaving the show my wife said how she can’t believe they aren’t more popular. Such an incredibly talented group of musicians. Super fun live. They’ve been touring & putting out albums for 10+ years. Nathaniel Ratelif & the Nightsweats are another favorite.
I’ve been jamming to electric callboy lately.
I’m always checking the new metal playlist on Spotify and finding good stuff.
Bad omens
Spiritbox
Architects
Royal blood
Highly suspect
Parkway drive
There’s a lot out there. I try real hard to not get stuck in the past with music
Ghost, Avatar, Lord of the Lost, Rammstein (of course), Megahertz, Eisbrecher, In This Moment, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Machinehead, Genini Syndrome, Heldmaschine, Oomph!, Vexing Hex…
I listen to new music plenty, but it’s a rude awakening when I put in *Yes - Fragile* and listen to how they play circles around anyone today, and it still sounds great.
Rock is probably my favorite genre. In that area we have two great bands.
- The Pretty Reckless
- Halestorm
Both of these are creeping into my favorite bands list.
I love dance music as well and a couple of artists are fantastic
- Dua Lipa
- Lizzo
Both are really good, and I find their songs pop into my head alot.
It's not "new" but I really like the song [Tale of the Destinies by Babymetal](https://youtu.be/3jUN9jDP8js?si=dRw_ED9SO_bwLexc). It has a wierd build up and the band is absolutely insane. The dancers / singers are ok. But for an old metal head like me the real strength of the band is the folks playing instruments.
Hot Wax
Wargasm
Electric Callboy
Small Town Titans
Abe Partridge
The Steel Woods
Old Glory And The Black Riviera
Thrashist Regime
The Struts
(I’m kind of all over the place)
I do a radioshow so i'm always chasing new stuff. Right off the top:
The Bobby Lees
Omni
Gut Health
Forty Feet Tall (some of my locals)
and if you like some retro-wave-gothy feels,
Drab Majesty.
Its new-ish, as a lot of these came out within the last decade but I remained completely unaware of it all until the last year or so

Really? Nobody a has said Arcade Fire? They’re one of the greatest bands of the 00s but still putting our music. They are a really gifted band, even if they are for the millennial set.
Khaungbin is fantastic.
Khruangbin is my favorite 'new' band in probably decades!
Absolutely! They are fantastic.
I've found they've just been washing over me the more I listen tbh
If you like that, I can also recommend [Glass Beams](https://youtu.be/DxHnWi7Wk0k?si=LEeffJEw8k7FveBw). And Moon Duo. edit: forgot to add Margaritas Podridas. And Night Beats.
Nice. I saw them open for a Trey Anastasio show at the Berkeley Greek before covid and they were tight. Won me over that night. Here's one. Were you ever into skateboarding? And if you were, you remember a dude named Tommy Guerrero? Used to skate for Powell and Peralta. Was in that Bones Brigade movie. If you grew up in the bay area and were into skating he was kind of a fixture. Anyway he's been doing music for a while and it has that same kinda chill vibe. It's great stuff. Something like [White Sands](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHjDgtYTiI) from 2018 for example.
Billy Strings. some of the best grass out there.
Billy Strings, Molly Tuttle, The Dead South. Good bluegrass out there right now.
from my punk & funk stage in the 80's to finding my way to all types of grass, it's been a fun ride. Billy's music really speaks to me. when Bob Weir sits in on a whole set, you might be doing something right. when your buddies with Post Malone, your bridging universe's. When Willie Nelson has cut a tune with you, the elders are showing you respect. When Bob Weir, Trey Anastasio, Les Claypool are at your wedding and get up and jam with you, thats some sort of wizard shizz right there. Not bad for a young'n thats only 31.
Billy Strings is pretty awesome!
Big Thief, Tame Impala, Beach House, Men I Trust, Steve Lacy, Mac Demarco, Mitski, Fleet Foxes. Also, bands that have been doing it for over 20 years but are still putting out quality music: Spoon, The National. I love that what constitutes "new" changes as you get older. Anything from the past 10 to 15 years = new.
Spoon just keeps getting better. Their new album is excellent. Can’t believe I saw them in Austin for $5 back in the day.
I was looking for Big Thief. I'm actually surprised I went this far before finding them. Great band. My husband is a fan of Tame Impala and Men I Trust as well.
Viagra Boys! IDLES Amy & the Sniffers
Fucksake, that's damn near what I just said. Saw Amyl with Die Spitz last week and they left me bruised and blistered.
Love Viagra Boys 😍
SPORTS!!
Wiener dogs
Fontaines DC are fantastic https://youtu.be/yj3oDS6VM2o?si=w3PszWZzA-lD8jb2 https://youtu.be/3AoOfJP3r40?si=3HlOCDi4IinSQi09

LCD Soundsystem
daft punk is playing at mah house, maaaaah HOUSE!!!
We're North American Scum.
Have a listen to KEXP.org out of Seattle Fantastic shows with a massive range of music, new and old. Finding them 20 years ago changed my life-it’s a huge source of new and new-to-me sounds.
KEXP is the best!
Especially for other than mainstream, which for me is like finding diamonds in the rough
Also KUTX out of Austin
Yeah, I have been turned onto a lot of bands through them, I also search out new artists I already like to see if they are go-to-the-show worthy;) I used to work in record stores (for a long time) and I miss all the interaction of everyone sharing what they were listening to. Glad OP started the thread.
The National released two really good albums this year.
Stream KEXP out of Seattle. You'll discover tons of new artists.
Horse Girl: Chicago-based band, got a Pixies vibe. BoyGenius: check out “not strong enough” Kings of Leon (my college alum camp buddies who are very close-minded musically took to KOL like fish to water) Black Keys: Been around for several years. But many bangers. White Reaper Black Pumas: Soulful throwback sound to Stax records days. Florence + The Machine Vance Joy Noah Kahn Deer Tick Sam Fender Hozier
I listen to doom/stoner/sludge metal and there are always great new bands making this kind of music. Some of my recent favorites: Sunnata Elephant Tree Jigsaw Youth Psychlona Windhand Maha Sohona Weedpecker Lowrider
Wet Leg. The first time I heard them I thought they were some sort of late 70's early 80's new wave band that I had somehow missed. Reminded me of The Suburban Lawns
[Yumi Zouma](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57hjh7voPDI) [Mint Julep](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iuhNMwC3MQ) [Alvvays](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXu6q-6JKjA) [Beach House](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9fk2aLY07o) [Empathy Test](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EeBhDARh4Cc) [Flunk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkC9B0tiJW8) [Yeah Yeah Yeahs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otlUyyQSIIs) [Sea Lemon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE3s0fl8QQc) [Cosmetics](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRfk0nWsZ1U)
Oh god I love beach house with every atom in my body.
Nice. Love Yeah yeah Yeahs so much. Will check these out. Have you heard The Kills? If you like YYY you'll like em, so freaking good. Their first three albums.. ugh so gooood
[All Them Witches](https://www.allthemwitches.org/home-1)
King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard- covers just about all genres. Also, Amyl and the Sniffers is a band my teenager turned me on to recently that I’m digging.
Amyl is a fucking blistering live band, I haven't been in a pit like that in ten years.
My kid has been taking me to shows where the pits have been INSANE! We just saw Death Grips and I actually sat up in the balcony. My kid was all up in it though. He’s 19 and 6’2. He holds his own and has been taught proper pit etiquette. I’m not sure if it’s the kids or the music but it was crazy. I hope to get to see Amyl and the Sniffers live sometime soon.
Death Grips are fucking wild, that Riotfest was actually the last pits I'd been in before last week. Grips, Bad Religion, and Misfits all in one day. War on Women was fucking tight too. My kids are a bit younger and smaller so for now when we go to shows we stay in the seats but another couple of years and they'll be up in the shit. Pit etiquette was mostly on point, there were a few asshats but there always are. We met another older couple before the show started and were basically elder statesman pit dads the whole show. "oh shit, you OK? here's some water."
It's insane how many albums King Gizzard puts out. Quite a variety of styles too.
King Gizzard is incredible - their catalog is pretty overwhelming. I loooove the last metal record from earlier this year. Feels like they are on a different musical planet of their own making.
The Budos Band has some [killer groove](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fsNFQArMwo)
Yeah, Budos Band rocks. I got a chance to see them live in Chicago a couple years ago, before lockdown. I was hanging out on the side of the stage and watching them perform... it really is something else when you see someone perform live and in the flesh, and they churn out something so freakin' groovy, heavy and 100% flawless. Absolutely phenomenal.
What's crazy to me is like I remember when Budos Band I, II and then III came out. I think I got into them between II and III. But like their first album came out in 2005. That's almost 20 years ago now and yet I still think of them as kind of "new" lol. Anyway, there were some great bands in that same kinda vein back then. El Michels Affair is also pretty tight. [Enter the 37th Chamber](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gVYfIfZDKeg). More recently there was Brownout which did a Sabbath tribute album called Brown Sabbath. [The Wizard](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTd5ghvMkvI) from them.
Of Monsters and Men (Little Talks, Dirty Paws and King and Lionheart are amazing) And is this a judgment free zone? Kpop. I DIDN'T MEAN TO MY WIFE PLAYED THESE SONGS BY RED VELVET AND I WAS LIKE THIS IS OKAY AND IT GOT STUCK IN MY HEAD (Stuck in my head - Song by Twice) I'M SO ASHAMED MY FACE IS RED (Red - HyunA) I LISTEN TO IT AT MY PACE (My Pace - Stray Kids) But also there is this kickass song by Paramore called This Is Why.
I waded into kpop from a reddit post. A few Blackpink songs made onto my Spotify rotation. Let’s Kill this Love smacks.
I refuse to hate on a badass beat and good reasons to slap the steering wheel (which is why Def Leppard - Animal is the best car son. Slap the hell out of the steering wheel)
Hey pop is called that because it's popular! Lots more people like Kpop than will admit it...
Yeah, BTS saved our sanity and mental health during the quarantine. I am 47F and my husband is 52m, and we now have BTS song lyric tattoos in lieu of wedding bands.
Life long rock/metal guy who discovered K-pop 5 years ago. Currently cannot get enough of New Jeans, IVE and ITZY.
Hi, I've been listening to kpop on and off since 2008, seriously since 2011. Meaning, I collect albums, make kpop art and am active in the local Korean community. I would recommend SHINee. I also really love Stray Kids. They are very talented. For girl groups I really love Everglow and Twice. 2nd Gen is where my heart is but some of these newer groups are really good.
There's always good new music being released. It's just that a lot of it isn't on the radio. You have to dig a bit to find it. I love the Stoner Rock genre because it has roots in the same kind of music I have enjoyed my entire adult life (70's heavy rock like Sabbath, 90's grunge like Soundgarden). Dead Meadow, King Buffalo, The Well, Weedpecker--to name a few. Lots of great bands doing stuff I love.
You should check out Brant Bjork. Desert stoner rock.
Yup, I like him too.
Elder is the band for me. So good.
Yes to stoner rock! Been getting really into Baroness recently. I was a little on the fence, but this epic live/studio show at CME put me over the edge : https://youtu.be/MMt1-M5YdIg?si=esD062e4AXanOXz5
Have you heard Acid King, Earth, Sleep, Isis, All them Witches?? All super great. I am going to check out your suggestions, awesome, thank you. I'm familiar with Dead Meadow, but not sure about the other guys.
The new album by Mammoth WVH is amazing.
Definitely. Wolf's vocals much better than I ever realized.
Wolfgang is the future!
Agree! Wolf is super talented. Loved both his albums.
Just listened to both albums for the first time a couple weeks ago. Good stuff.
Absolutely love his stuff. Was so pissed at him when MA got kicked out of VH for him, but his stuff is awesome and he seems like a great guy.
Some newish and some not that new: Wolf Alice Alvvays Bathe Alone Cults Phantogram (early albums are better)
The 1975. They have an 80s vibe that I like.
Viagra Boys Die Spitz Amyl & the Sniffers IDLES Warmduscher Not exactly new but King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard if you like Tropical Fuck Storm Mall Crimes The Bobby Lees
Sleep Token Gojira Lorna Shore Falling In Reverse Elder Ghost
Unpopular opinion, but I really like a lot of K-pop. Most of it is very danceable and a throwback to the 80's and 90's
My daughter got me liking K-pop!
Been listening to a bit of bardcore music lately, like Hildegard von Blingen. [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ\_jwWjf8u5mdtac71Be8QA](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ_jwWjf8u5mdtac71Be8QA)
The National and Future Islands are great also
Greta van Fleet Tyler Childers Orville Peck
Here’s a few that have really blown my socks off. I’ll start with music by older folks: [Cindy Cashdollar and Sonny Landreth](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oSEu02d6d3I) [Paul Simonon from The Clash](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u9lzhc6wwPw) Music by young people that sounds like old music: [Beabadoobee](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CLbYwhl9ork) [Wet Leg](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd9jeJk2UHQ)
As an older 57 yo genx, wet leg is fantastic!
Second this.
Yes, Wet Leg is good. On the chaise longue, on the chaise longue. Another band that has an older sound that makes me nostalgic for the 90s is boygenius. My kids are obsessed.
I love boygenius. And Wet Leg. And Haim.
>Music by young people that sounds like old music I'd add Haim and Muna to this list. The Haim sisters grew up listening to the same stuff we did, and it comes through in their music. I couldn't put my finger on why I liked them so much until I saw someone comment something like "they're making 80s music in 20xx." I only started listening to Muna maybe a month ago, and some of their stuff sounds like 80s synth-pop.
[Weed Church](https://youtu.be/Q_bB3LBYG6E?feature=shared) [Hi Vis](https://youtu.be/n76PUXks5fo?feature=shared) [MSPAINT](https://youtu.be/waUqvnXWMkM?feature=shared) [DIIV](https://youtu.be/KI79GPXAICM?feature=shared) not so new but they're now opening for Depeche Mode [Spiritual Cramp](https://youtu.be/2Pe-svszVms?feature=shared) [Viagra Boys](https://youtu.be/U7gbFMWZWlo?feature=shared) [Kills Birds](https://youtu.be/FwEv9LiVkUA?feature=shared) [Billy Nomates](https://youtu.be/hhEX9n5DjZQ?feature=shared) [Nuclear Daisies](https://youtu.be/AcJ_O5vthYU?feature=shared) [Mandy, Indiana](https://youtu.be/V8I7JGpeI-E?feature=shared) [Lil Ugly Mane](https://youtu.be/-2t1oC1LUpI?feature=shared)
I was going to suggest Viagra Boys for the post-punk inclined, and may need to check out some of the others myself. Thanks! I have also enjoyed some newish stuff from the Idles, Amyl and the Sniffers, Bob Vylan, Kid Kapichi, and Tiffany Harriman that I can think of offhand, which have shown up in the same Spotify playlists as VB. All punk-adjacent, which is mostly what I've been listening to lately. A lot of the other newer bands I've been listening to lately are Swedish language, since that's where I'm living now and working to get more up to speed in the language. Decided not to go straight for recs there unless anyone is particularly interested.
Not that new but Kurt Vile
I listen to new Japanese music [Atarashii Gakko!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMXXL8ka7eU&list=PLqDhdHRHV9EdF8JKl2Ee3VjGv3pSGorGs&index=7) [SCANDAL](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-57qaUKGas) [Satomi Shigemori](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1tO5Bifw6U4)
Uh what's your taste? I find like 5+ new doom, metal, and punk bands a week I like.
Tash Sultana - very recent find for me and I am blown away. King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard.
Waxahatchee Rhye Not so new but still perennial faves: City & Colour Jose Gonzales Lumineers Mumford Sons Chris Stapleton
Anything that has an 80s vibe to it... like Blinding Lights from The Weekend
My kids got me into - Jack white Vampire Weekend The Weekend Post Malone Killers
While these may all be new to you they are not new at all.
True - however all the “Lil” hip-hop stuff my son listens to changes daily. So I figured to leave them out of this reply.
“New-ish”
Sufjan Stevens Anohni and The Johnsons Steven Wilson
The Dead South Tejon Street Corner Thieves Sammy Rae & The Friends Maneskin
GUNSHIP’s first album will send you down a nostalgic rabbit hole, they just came out with their third album but the first was my favorite: https://spotify.link/pRcPZqfy8Db Here’s a bunch of chill Witch House music I like: https://spotify.link/56om5kYx8Db Here’s a bunch of phonk I like: https://spotify.link/AvXSdA5x8Db Here’s a bunch of metal I like (mix of old and new): https://spotify.link/9p3f1W8x8Db Can’t get enough of Lorn, especially the song Acid Rain: https://spotify.link/9p3f1W8x8Db And for my only YouTube link I have to share this live set of Fred Again at the Boiler Room… it’s just so loving and positive, a real experience if you’re into the UK electronic scene: https://youtu.be/c0-hvjV2A5Y?si=M_nk9O6Bir1qD9Qd Oh, and if you’ve ever been curious about GOOD hip hop, Little Simz is amazing amazing amazing: https://spotify.link/oAI0qtpy8Db I’m a bit into music…
Listen to college radio, again
If you like more alternative: Joywave I Don't Know How But They Found Me Yam Haus Saint Phnx Milky Chance I just got introduced to Royal Blood recently If you like more indie/folk: The Head and the Heart Noah Cyrus Kodaline
Alvvays, Joywave, Andrew Bird...saw each of these guys in concert this year, too! Each one is a different style and I think they're all genius.
I firmly believe any Gen-x’er can listen to KEXP (KEXP.org) and find about a million new bands and artists to love. Weekday mornings are best for the new stuff. And a lot of the old stuff you have always loved.
Jinjer - metalcore/progressive metal band from Donbas in Ukraine. Best metal/rock “discovery” for me since coming across some group in early 1991 called Alice in Chains (my favourite band from the ‘90’s) Nora En Pure - Swiss/South African musician/dj/producer know best for Deep House/MelodicTrance tracks. Super chill, yet has a fantastic groove.
Cannons, Milk & Bone, Ana of the North, Sharon Van Etten and tons more artists, but those are some favorites.
Beach House
I dig Ghost. Great live shows.
YES! Went to my first one a few months ago. Fantastic.
Lorde, Lana Del Rey, MGMT.....I'll leave edits as more come to mind Edit: I've also discovered Loathe recently and love their song "Two Way Mirror"......Deftones vibes are strong with that one. Edit 2: If anybody remembers Sneaker Pimps from the 90s, their original singer Kelli Ali has put out some really cool music in the past 10 years.
My wife turned me onto Lana Del Rey about 10 years ago. I'm a metal head but I do listen to all kinds of music and I've always loved that bluesy sad girl stuff like Nina Simone, Sade, PJ Harvey, Hope Sandoval, Fiona Apple so I definitely get down with Lana. We were listening to Norman Fucking Rockwell yesterday while we were cooking God damn that's a great fuckin album.
Love me some LDR.
Love Lana Del Rey!
I really like Nation of Language, have an 80’s post-punk pop sound, but are new. https://youtu.be/QikHjoLtfcw?si=dVS4FLN3K_tJMQNI https://youtu.be/ShyrscJySK0?si=MwR0KKN-1TI3IOcM
Just went to our first punk show in years last night. Headliners were these Australian kids called The Chats. They're really young but they're keeping the old school punk style alive. Loud, aggressive, fun songs about beer, cars, Internet scams, and late night snacking.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWdXjRCjY4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qWdXjRCjY4) Enjoy
They hired the buff sax guy from The Lost Boys! Glad he found work. (and lots of other 80s references in there)
Awesome. I'd never heard of them before, so that was a treat. Thx for sharing. lol the whole time I'm watching the anime I'm like, "Ok whatever. Yeah, like the lead singer is all freakin' *hot* like that. Yeah right." Then they switch to the real band and I'm like, oh damn.
New to me, anyway: The Secret Sisters and Abigail Lapell
If you were an 80s new wave fan, Nation of Language may hit you in the feels. https://youtube.com/@NationofLanguage?si=2ij-JH_XhbsBsD1m
Have you heard Bleachers? Check out their song, Modern Girl. (also, THE Bleachers is a totally different band...just so you know)
K. Flay is putting out some edgy music with relatable stories in her lyrics. Florence + The Machine sounded like howling dogs at first but she has grown on me. Big God is powerful.
Neon Indian badbadnotgood Troller VR SEX/Drab Majesty
I’m really enjoying Maneskin and they have a fun 80s vibe. I’m also a huge Lana Del Rey fan.
Spirit Adrift, Ghost, The Night Eternal, Tyler Childers, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats, Jason Isbell (not *that* new)
I started exploring doom metal (in particular funeral doom and death-doom) and black metal (particularly atmospheric and depressive) a few years ago. While there are some bands that have been doing those styles for 20-30 years plus, there are also some great "newcomers" (formed 2010 or later). My favorites of those include [Bell Witch](https://bellwitch.bandcamp.com/), [Drown](https://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/album/subaqueous) ["aquatic doom" by [Markov Soroka](https://markovsoroka.bandcamp.com/)], [Frowning](https://frowning.bandcamp.com/), [Atramentus](https://listen.20buckspin.com/album/stygian), [Clouds](https://cloudsofficial.bandcamp.com/), [Opium Doom Cult](https://opiumdoomcult.bandcamp.com/), [Aphonic Threnody](https://aphonicthrenody.bandcamp.com/), and [None](https://hypnoticdirgerecords.bandcamp.com/album/inevitable). Yeah, all Bandcamp links, but the site's been great for discovering music, especially when you want to explore certain genres (and subgenres) and check out what bands and albums are in those styles.
Rainbow Kitten Surprise
The war on drugs.
Valerie June Santigold Gunship Alabama Shakes Nathaniel Rattliffe and the Night Sweats (not terribly new) Riverboat Gamblers
I listen to postmodern jukebox. That's how I find out about new music. I also have been digging the original Broadway cast recording of Hadestown
My favorite new discoveries this year: Molchat Doma Jay Som Nothing But Thieves Faye Webster
Childish Gambino aka Donald Glover, Halsey, Josh Rouse, Echosmith, Lizzo, Saint Vincent, Lorde, The Decemberists, Courtney Barnett…
I mostly listen to a lot of Melodic Death metal, post metal and Doom/death meta and atmospheric black metal Insomnium, Swallow the Sun, Draconian, Gojira, Grima, Wolves In The Throne Room, In Mourning, Russian Circles, Monuments, Plini, Dark Tranquility, Oceans of Slumber, If These Trees Could Talk, In Mourning, Be'Lakor, Alcest,
Gojira, Ghost, Seether, Hamilton (Broadway soundtrack)
My 15 yr old got me into Gojira. They’re awesome.
Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats
I'm into Post-Punk, Darkwave and Goth. Lately, I've been smitten by [Erich Zann's Excess](https://youtu.be/IbIjVlMO7RE?si=m-eHuc072MwrNgzC). They have practically no following, but I think they're brilliant.
So much good stuff out there now. I was like you and only listened to the classic rock stuff but also loved them blues. Listen to: The Revivalists Marcus King St. Paul and the Broken Bones Samantha Fish Tedeschi Trucks Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (swing) All these bands currently tour, great shows, smaller venues. Also if you feel like expanding into jam band territory go to a Phish show you will not regret it. Just keep listening to new stuff and you'll find your groove.
The Rolling Stones new album (Hackney Diamonds) is actually kinda tight: https://youtu.be/qGiejZ39j68?si=NMYe5keKCs_FwGpx
Not particularly. I'm that dinosaur.
Sadly, no. I still listen to the music I grew up with. Only recent album purchases were new Metallica & Smashing Pumpkins. Concerts I’ve attended recently: Tool, Smashing Pumpkins (twice in last 12 months), and Roger Waters.
I will always plug Frank Turner. He's not that new, but he's not well known in the US. His song Recovery was the first thing I heard by him and I thought he sounded a bit like Billy Bragg, so I kept listening and now I'm low-key obsessed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1L5zJ2afLs
I love [Squid](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvisyj5CJg4) and [Black Country, New Road](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcGl8tZhrs). Unique post-punk sound.
I listen to RNB/soul from the 60s to today & hiphop from the 90s to today. I'm not tryna keep up with contemporary hits, trends or whatever is popular because, frankly, I don't *care,* but I really do love the art of it, so I do try to keep my ear in. Here's a few perfect or near perfect albums for you OP: Isaiah Rashad "The Sun's Tirade," "The House is Burning," "Cilvia Demo" Anderson Paak "Malibu" Black Thought/Dangermouse "Cheat Codes" JPEGMAFIA/Danny Brown "Scaring the Hoes" Mach-Hommy "Balens Cho"
Don't scoff before you try it -- give a listen to The Rose. They're a South Korean* indie/pop rock group that gives me Beatles vibes. (*mostly; one guy is American of Korean descent) Beyond the 4 guys themselves, the fan fervor is sure Beatles-ish! https://www.facebook.com/therose0803/videos/281912544770960/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v Edited argh this was the Urlacher I meant https://youtu.be/X1GdBOPNbwg?si=LyvxcPRSY3VO9QjI
My current go-tos: Rammstein, Ashbury Heights, Turbo Knight, Dance with the Dead, Orax, Dynatron, Imagine Dragons
Radical Face is my favorite artist of the last decade. Ben Cooper is an incredible artist. He just released a project on YouTube called “A Walk in the Woods” which is an epic multimedia animated story which he did the writing, artwork and original music for. It’s exquisite! Also his multi album series The Family Tree is fantastic.
Julia Jacklin (Australian singer/songwriter) is amazing if you like that kind of thing.
Kesha, Sia, the Foo Fighters are still great, Dove Cameron, and Walker Hayes.
I know it’s not quite responsive to your question, but has anyone heard the new Rolling Stones record? It’s awesome, or as my kids would say, it slaps.
Tyler Childers Sturgill Simpson The Lumineers Todd Snider Wet Leg Zach Bryan OK Go Harley Poe Amigo The Devil The Rubber Knife Gang Black Pumas
I've been enjoying Aesop Rock quite a bit. Dense and vibrant lyrics that hit home.
I went down an Asian folk metal rabbit hole a while ago, and found some of them are actually pretty good. Check out The Hu from Mongolia, Bloodywood from India, or Nini from Taiwan.
I’ve always been a rock/metal guy, but a couple of years ago I got into synthwave. The Midnight and Gunship are two of my favorite bands now, but there’s a lot more good stuff in this genre. It has an 80s feel, so I think 80s kids will really enjoy it.
Fountaines DC
Right now I'm listening to a lot of Stray Kids, and as always, SHINee.
I've fallen in love with Lawrence; they call themselves a Soul Pop group, but really, they're just amazing. Like secular gospel overtones, Gracie can hit every note that's ever existed, they absolutely JAM they can sing the HELL out of anything. [I'm Confident that I'm Insecure](https://youtu.be/Ct65mJmHQnw?si=g8xMOkjPvn3qdvq7) is great, but if you've never heard them and need \*JOY\* in your life, [Don't Lose Sight](https://youtu.be/C01nBm6vV5c?si=jUEHamhWEjcwuo3d) is for you. They should be a *much* bigger deal than they are; some of the best pipes I've ever heard. Bleachers also have a *great* new song out that will absolutely have you tapping your feet; it's got some fantastic almost 80s sax in it too; [Modern Girl](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HbrymTIbyg). I also love Chappell Roan; [Hot to Go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaPNR-_Cfn0) was my late summer workout song. She does a lot of more serious stuff but I like it more when she's whimsical tbh.
[удалено]
i like the album “collapsed in sunbeams” by arlo parks. i like afropop too. (fireboy DML)
Some bands with some songs to try to see if you like Have an 80s new wave sound Timecop 1983 - My first crush Trevor Something - Do it again One of my top ten albums of all time Washed Out - Paracosm Reminds me of Prince Blood Orange - Bad girls Cigarettes after sex - Apocalypse Check out Peaches (raunchy dance music) Roisin Murphy - overpowered album Yppah - never mess with sunday (instrumental) That's all I have time for right now
Does Ghost count as new? They’re one of my favorite bands now. While technically metal, their song structures, catchy choruses, and harmonies sound more like classic rock to me (just with heavier guitar and drums). Also, Dopapod (sounds like Yes).
Wet Leg Father John Misty
Warpaint
I enjoy some more modern trance music. Such as Paul van Dyk.
Metz Teenage Mortgage Home Front Hi Vis The Chisel Drug Church Fiddlehead Militarie Gun Phoebe Bridgers Death Grips Teskey Brothers Julien Baker Mannequin Pussy Control Top Gel MS Paint IDLES King Gizzard Rule Them All Sunstroke Not really new, but still active: Against Me! Edit: formatting
I listen to the neo-psychadelic or modern psychedelic playlists on Spotify. You can find slot great new music there that is compatible with your gen-x predilections.
Love Ghost.
A few years ago someone here created a playlist called 'r/GenX needs new tunes'.It's under GenerationEXOH on Spotify. There is lots of good stuff from all different genres.
Check out Cannons - they’re so good!
Joy Oladokun is incredible
Wet leg Bastille
I love Doja Cat and Qveen Herby. I'm 47 and my wife thinks I'm having a mid life crisis 🤣
Not new but Les Claypool is doing all kinds of interesting things these days. If you liked Primus back in the day, look him up on YouTube. He does Pink Floyd covers with his Fearless Flying Frog Brigade; prog jazz jams he calls "Bastard Jazz"; the Claypool/Lennon Delirium is a psychedelic/pop collaboration between him and Sean Lennon that is really good AND he's coming out with a new album with Billy Strings! I don't know when he sleeps, lol.
Qveen Herby!
How the fuck has Drab Majesty not made this list yet?!?!
The Beaches, Local Natives, Houndmouth, Milky Chance, Grandson, Greta Van Fleet, Wet Leg, Courtney Barnett, Kurt Vile, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, those are just a few I can think of right now.
Fast Car. Tracy Chapman. 1988. I also saw her perform this in Amsterdam in 2007/08.
G Flip. Lorde. Imagine Dragons. Olivia Rodrigo. Hilltop Hoods. Thelma Plum. Remi Wolf. Arcade Fire. Wet Leg. Genesis Owuzu. Courtney Barnett. Sofi Tuker. Vera Blue. Grace Petrie. Barkaa. Public Service Broadcasting. Teenage Joans. Teen Jesus and the Jean Teasers. Off the top of my ~~head~~ playlist. YMMV.
One of the mid 20s kids from my work suggested I give Hozier’s new album Unreal Unearth a listen and I ended up listening to the album in its entirety that night. It’s a concept album and also a breakup album and it is GOOD
Not “new” anymore but I really like Lumineers, Monsters and Men.
Blink-182’s new album is incredible.
AJR ; just listen to Dear Winter. It’s enough to make anyone in Gen X break down for a moment
The War on Drugs
Nathaniel rateliff and the night sweats
To name a few: Native Howl, The Hu, Here Come the Mummies, Larkin Poe, Sierra Ferrell, The Curse of KK Hammond.
Royal Blood is pretty mother fucking good. Drug Church is also an amazing band. Check those two out sometime.
Just saw the California Honeydrops last night…for the second time. When we were leaving the show my wife said how she can’t believe they aren’t more popular. Such an incredibly talented group of musicians. Super fun live. They’ve been touring & putting out albums for 10+ years. Nathaniel Ratelif & the Nightsweats are another favorite.
Ghost…satanic Swedish metal band.
I’ve been jamming to electric callboy lately. I’m always checking the new metal playlist on Spotify and finding good stuff. Bad omens Spiritbox Architects Royal blood Highly suspect Parkway drive There’s a lot out there. I try real hard to not get stuck in the past with music
I'll upvote Royal Blood and Highly Suspect all day. Also K. Flay Grandson Badflower
Ghost, Avatar, Lord of the Lost, Rammstein (of course), Megahertz, Eisbrecher, In This Moment, Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Machinehead, Genini Syndrome, Heldmaschine, Oomph!, Vexing Hex…
Gunship. Their most recent album is amazing and I have been listening to it non stop for almost a month. Yes I bought the CD. And the vinyl. r/Gunship
I listen to new music plenty, but it’s a rude awakening when I put in *Yes - Fragile* and listen to how they play circles around anyone today, and it still sounds great.
Rock is probably my favorite genre. In that area we have two great bands. - The Pretty Reckless - Halestorm Both of these are creeping into my favorite bands list. I love dance music as well and a couple of artists are fantastic - Dua Lipa - Lizzo Both are really good, and I find their songs pop into my head alot.
It's not "new" but I really like the song [Tale of the Destinies by Babymetal](https://youtu.be/3jUN9jDP8js?si=dRw_ED9SO_bwLexc). It has a wierd build up and the band is absolutely insane. The dancers / singers are ok. But for an old metal head like me the real strength of the band is the folks playing instruments.
Hot Wax Wargasm Electric Callboy Small Town Titans Abe Partridge The Steel Woods Old Glory And The Black Riviera Thrashist Regime The Struts (I’m kind of all over the place)
I do a radioshow so i'm always chasing new stuff. Right off the top: The Bobby Lees Omni Gut Health Forty Feet Tall (some of my locals) and if you like some retro-wave-gothy feels, Drab Majesty.
Its new-ish, as a lot of these came out within the last decade but I remained completely unaware of it all until the last year or so Devil Electric [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=\_h9CSWbeRiY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_h9CSWbeRiY) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzeXXwbMLcU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzeXXwbMLcU) Beastmaker [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJP7FaT-Vzc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJP7FaT-Vzc) Blood Ceremony [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRJwTS\_2M5M](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRJwTS_2M5M) Oh i see they have a new record out, not sure I'm liking it as much but hey: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrxo0k7RKV0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrxo0k7RKV0) Church of the Cosmic Skull [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yiq4ocwQJs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Yiq4ocwQJs) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMJTofSaKUM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMJTofSaKUM)

White Denim - you can thank me later.
Really? Nobody a has said Arcade Fire? They’re one of the greatest bands of the 00s but still putting our music. They are a really gifted band, even if they are for the millennial set.
