Polyphia, a predominantly instrumental rock band, features some of the most talented young musicians in the music industry. Their collaboration with Steve Vai on the song “Ego Death!” is a must-listen. I have linked it below. Ego Death: Featuring Steve Vai

Sure, why not. Been around a while but worth watching a real live rock band. |
If you like 60's and 70's psychedelic rawk, I will throw these names out and you are welcome to thank me with a Gustard R26: Messa- Italian rock band that has already toured USA twice in 1.5 years. Sara is the singer and she is awesome Colour Haze - these lads from Munich are powered by Stefen Koglek's monster guitar rig of Sunn and Soldano and this is some glorious music Sacri Monti - San Diego's finest laying down groovy rock - contains organ. Temple Fang - Amsterdam psych rock. Tidal needs to increase their offerings Causa Sui - Danish psych rock and lucky for me Tidal has it all also ... altJ , Mythic Sunshine , OM (Al Cisnero's Band), Dead Meadow, Church of the Cosmic Skull, Siena Root , King Witch from Scotland with a female singer that could level a house ala Janis Joplin, Tommy Guerrero, Motorpsycho (incredible band from Norway. Start with their earlier rock slabs) , Infected Mushroom |

Press Club – Great, powerful female-fronted rock band from Melbourne. Four albums, all really good. |
I'd like to suggest some female Rockers. Halestorm is more pop bedroom wall poster writing but driving. Call Me Crazy is a good tune. Dorothy is a great voice and songwriter. Slash thought enough of her talent to make an album together. I like Haunted House. Speaking of Slash, Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators World On Fire is turn it up type music and Slash is perfect fit to Myles after GNR called it quits. My final recommendation is The Pretty Reckless. Taylor Monsen is the first woman to front a band that earned 7 #1 singles. Outstanding voice, superb musician and some deep songwriting. I enjoy the band immensely! |
Catching up on rock from the last 45 years! ---Benjamin Booker ---Cadillac Tramps ---Craig Finn and his various bands ---Turbo ACs ---Queens of the Stone Age There is really lots of great rock music. As good as it ever was. It’s just not mainstream like it used to be. IMHO much of today's rock and related music is more of an acquired taste and repeat listening is in order. One has to learn the language, as it were.

Some great recommendations. My dad is a 78 y/o hippie. Fading into Alzheimers. He and I share a love (he bestowed) of 70s +/- classic rock. Zeppelin, Floyd, Jimi, Beatles (late) etc etc. I love more than anything when one of "my bands" moves his needle. He and my uncle are now both My Morning Jacket fans. Live and studio...lots on vinyl |
Along with the two Katatonia CD’s here are some more I recently bought: Savatage - The Wake Of Magellan Nektar - Recycled Bacillus Porcupine Tree - Deadwing Porcupine Tree - In Absentia The Ocean - Anthropocentric John Prine - Missing Years Mogwai - Rock Action Moth - Provisions, Action and Gear Moth - Immune To Gravity The Shins - Oh, Inverted World The Jesus and Mary Chain - Psycho Candy Royal Thunder - Wick The Black Watch - Jiggery-Pokery Charlie XCX - Brat It's the Same But There's Three More Songs Dead Kennedy's - Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

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. |
I second this rec. Nothing But Thieves is one of the best bands to have emerged over the past couple decades. I find every track on every album is at least listenable. I rarely encounter that much talent in an artist anymore. I saw them live in Kansas City a couple years ago. They are every bit as good live as in the studio. I find they are somewhat a slow burn in terms of likeableness, however. They definitely have their own style, like grunge, pop, punk, yacht and ballad rock all rolled into one. My girlfriend didn’t like their music until we saw them live, now she “gets it,” and is a huge fan. |
More alternative than rock but one of my favorites is Beat Circus; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beat_Circus And Goose is influenced by Grateful Dead culture while being all original; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goose_(American_band)

I highly recommend checking out the YouTube channel Sea of Tranquility. Tons of great content with reviews, discussions, shows, etc. Emphasis on rock, metal, prog, and fusion. Some jazz thrown in. They have a website too. Great resource for music, old and new. I have found so many bands from the 70s that I’ve never heard of before! Explore and enjoy! |
Well define "modern." If you are talking post '80s there is an infinite list. 90s were a golden era of rock. If you are steaming just look for a '90s rock playlist. I would definitely recommend Ocean Colur Scene though - lemme know what you think. Best album: Moseley Shoals. Try The Stews, David Gray, Midlake, The Proclaimers ( putting our great albums since the late '80s), System Of A Down ( still occasionally touring but no new album in like 20+ years), Bright Eyes.
You'll also find a lot of great artists from your collection era have been putting out superb albums for 40+yrs like Paul Weller. Hard to get a better rock song than "Changing Man." |

Tune into Radio Paradise Rock Mix. WXRT in Chicago. Both play great mixes of modern, punk and classic rock. This will give you the opportunity to hear some great new music, like The Budos Band, Pulp, The Record Company, new blues like Larkin Poe, Samantha Fish, Ally Venable, Amyl and The Sniffers, Balthazar, Beak, Los Bitchos,
