New rock music

Greta Van Fleet. I'm not a rock guy but their sound is incredibly unique for this day and age. When I first heard them I wondered if they'd catch on but they have and that's great.
 
Alter Bridge isnt a new band, I saw them in concert probably around 2004 or 2005.

The War on Drugs might be a little soft for some of you guys judging by your musical tastes, but they are hands down one of the most talented bands out there right now.
 
When the OP asked for new bands I took it as new bands, not bands such as foo fighters, shinedown, papa roach, etc. who have been around and popular for quite a few years now.
Agreed. Might as well throw Metallica and Black Sabbath in there too if were gonna quit naming new bands.

A couple of female fronted bands that I really dig:

Dream State:



Windrunner:

 
Saw the Struts open for the Foo Fighters in the Well. Bringing the glam back in glam rock.

They bring fun and rock together like Cheap Trick.

I grew up on 80s rock, however the "newer bands" I generally listen to today:

Shinedown, 3 Days Grace, Papa Roach, Disturbed, Five Finger Death Punch, Breaking Benjamin, Avenged Sevenfold, Buckcherry, Halestorm, Theory of a Deadman, Volbeat, Sixx AM, Seether, Slash with Miles Kennedy, Evanescence, Skillet


5 Finger Donkey Punch and Avenged Sevenfold are absolute trash and they are what is wrong with rock today. Hey, let's do another crappy cover of a decent song, to prove that not only do we have no songwriting ability, but we also have no musical talent either.

The rest are OK, kind of hot and cold on all of them.

I've ALWAYS been a rock guy, but the past few years there isn't much that is even mediocre. It's all just garbage.

Whats wrong with Avenged Sevenfold? I love their music mainly because the guitar parts sound like sinister circus type music. None of A7x's popular music are covers.

I got to the same point recently. Fortunately, I discovered metalcore. Most of the bands I posted a page back fall into this category. Love the different, but sounds that fall into this genre.
