Hey, im looking for some good new bands to listen to. I have search-bared, and got a few threads and like the music, but im looking for more bands. I mostly like alternative, rock, punk rock, some good electronic that sound more like alternative. So if you have any good bands, post em up.

sorry for the double post, but someone mentioned The Gaslight Anthem, and I haven't liked that kind of music since maybe middle school, but that is a seriously good band, check out the ones that most people know, but also check out the song "we came to dance"

Definitely check out Capital Road.  They're a Pittsburgh band but have a great sound!!

They take their influence from bands like Dispatch, and O.A.R

maybe some 80s hardcore bands like Bad Brains, 7 Seconds, Youth Brigade. Tiger Army.  The Dickies.  Echo and the Bunnymen.  Joy Division.

Dillinger Four are good.  The Black Keys are good.  Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies are ok for a laugh.

Charlie Parker and The Stooges were good suggestions
