Any modern rock recommendations?


Can anyone recommend any recent rock music?  Been dragging out my classic rock albums from 60's, 70's and 80's.  Surely there must be some decent rock bands in the classic style from this century...

The Pretty Reckless are fantastic especially if you're looking for some great, old school, bombastic rock and roll. I like Big Thief. Can get heavy into their lead singer's soft vocals but can produce some driving rock like 'Not' at times. Really nice, basic four piece garage rock. You have The Illuminati Hotties and their 'tenderpunk'. Sharon Van Etten. Pom Pom Squad gets points for dark humor with an album titled Death of a Cheerleader. If you like the sound of Pink Floyd who are definitely not heavy metal rock and rollers, you might like curiously enough Lana del Rey. Songs like Venice Bitch with their lengthy, spacy instrumental passages remind me of Floyd. 

Whiskey Myers and Blackberry Smoke are about the only two I know of. I’m 70 so I’m of the 1964 to 1974 was the best music era.
