Any modern rock recommendations?

Brother, you really want to rock? Listen to Sturgill Simpson's "Sound and Fury". Really fine guitar work and some of the best words put to music in years. This guy is for real. He comes from the Alt. Country scene, but man, does he blow out your speakers. What a voice, what a presence.  

Ah hell, you need to get a listen to Sturgill Simpson's classic album "A Sailor's Guide to Earth", which defies all genres and slides between Country, Rock, Soul, and R&B. All wrapped up in the funkiest Psychedelia. He's the real deal.
