<font color="green"><b> chickenlicious! wrote: i recommend Bloc Party. really great group. i don't know if they're new though... oh yeah. you guys should also listen to Peter, Bjorn and John. pretty okay band. the plain white T's aren't bad either. Hey there Delilah is a nice song. :) [edit] also, Listen to life in disguise by the slip. the slip is a great act too. relaively new.

"Wake Up" used to be my favorite Arcade Fire song, but after hearing the full album a couple of times, I realised most of the album is a potential favorite song. I'll give the second album a listen sometime soon. And Franz Ferdinand... Probably the best new indie band. Much better than the Strokes, and obviously, better than the Franz Ferdinand wannabes that came up after they released their first album. Not to mention they're REALLY good on stage!!! I'd like to add "Dirty Pretty Things". They have released an EP and an album, and both of them are worth listening. They're practically a reformed Libertines without Pete Doherty, and to be honest, they're a million times than The Libertines. The first time I heard them I had no clue I was hearing some people who were already kinda famous, I could swear on my life they were just a garage band - and I love their sound! These are the videos for the singles they've released so far: Bang Bang You're Dead link Deadwood link Wondering link If on one hand the recent indie wave brought lots of shitty pop bands who look all the same, on the other hand Franz Ferdinand, Arcade Fire, Dirty Pretty Things and a few others definitely make it worth it! *edit* I really gotta listen to some Plain White T's stuff other than Hey There Delilah. They must have some other good stuff! :) And thank you for the Led Zeppish suggestion, Dan! I'll give them a try as well!

Mr.Jingles wrote: I think here we talk a lot about classic rock bands but we devote little time to the new acts. A while ago I came across this wonderful album called 'Funeral' by the Arcade Fire, with beautifully produced musical arrangements sort of reminiscent of Bowie's glam rock days. I think a lot of Queen fans would enjoy it. Wolfmother for those who don't know them comes across as the next Led Zeppelin. Not only is their sound very Zep like, but they're live performances are quite electryfing as well. Franz Ferdinand I don't need to even mention how great they are, so if you are one of those living under the Classic Rock underground shelter for the past 5 years, you better give them a listen. Other great new acts I'd recommend are Silversun Pickups, Cold War Kids, and even though I absolutely dread most of the whole nu-punk/emo scene, I have to admit that Paramore is damn good. That chick Haylee truly knows how to belt out a tune.

I just found out that Flogging Molly is an American band. All this time I thought they were Irish.

I like her music, but she's overated. It seems like everytime a jazz/blues oriented newcomer with mainstream appeal gets some spotlight they receive a bulk of Grammies. That's what happened with Alicia Keys as well.

Muse: Officially active since 1997 (over 10 years) Foo Fighters: Active since 1995 (over 12 years) Green Day: Officially active since 1989 (Over 18 years! Nearly 2 decades!) Those aren't really "new". ;) They may be having their biggest glories nowadays, they may be topping the charts nowadays - but Queen was topping the charts in 1991 and that didn't make them a new band back then. ;) Having said that, I really like the Foo Fighters (even more than I like Nirvana, to be honest), and Green Day are quite enjoyable too! :) Muse are talented, but for some reason I'm not really into them.
