Kenny Wayne Shepherd has Noah Hunt sing most of the time....KWS has a poor singing voice, actually. Nice guy, love his playing, but Noah is the voice.....

General question for everyone in this thread:

What's the best new Rock Band you've heard in the last 3 years?

I've been trying to thing of real honest to goodness rock bands, and I am coming up with a lot of blanks.

I guess it depends on your definition of rock band, but I will accept all variety of answers just to satiate my curiosity.

You may like Annisokay:



Or Bad Omens:



They may be a little harder than what you like, though.

NOPE. Total and complete Led Zeppelin rip off. I really like Zeppelin. Yes they sound like them, and that's their whole shtick. They are like Coke Zero. I'd rather have the real thing. Just a personal thing. I think it's fine if people like them. I like a lot of stuff that others don't, but when the band dismisses that they try to sound like LZ I have to laugh. It's blatant.

So in my case maybe it isn't that there isn't any good rock music out there anymore, it's just that I'm so incredibly ******* lame.

My biggest problem is radio airplay categorizing groups like Twenty One Pilots, X Ambassadors and other similar groups as hard rock, which annoys the hell out of me. ou812zx mentioned a few groups I would consider hard rock. If the guitar is not in the forefront of the song, then it's not rock. I really like Slash and Myles Kennedy's new stuff.

Some of it is okay. Like Kenny Wayne Shepherd, for instance. Now that I think about it, it's probably more about the lead singers voice. KWS's voice is substantially deeper and more fitting, to me.

I don't think he sings lead. IIRC he changed lead singers from his first album to his second.

The Dead Weather is pretty good IMO. I think it is another start-up by Jack White.

Ghost is 'newer'? I guess if you're only going by radio play.

Bad Omens sounds really familiar but can't put my finger on it.

Clearly, it's been quite awhile since I've listed to his stuff. lol

Bring Me The Horizon?

A lot of the bands that were mentioned in response to this question are older than you think. Their debut albums are definitely older than 3 years anyway, if that's how you're looking at.

Bring Me The Horizon?

Bingo. Thanks, that would have bothered me until I figured it out.

Sorry - I was more looking at bands still making music.

They've been around for a few years, but I like the Black Angels.
