I barely listen to current music at all because I haven't found much I like. I'm happy with old bands but would like to see what's out there. I like a hard-edged, gritty sound - you know, something that comes from the soul, not overproduced. I'm a big fan of eighties punk (Clash, DKs, etc.), 50 Foot Wave, Dropkick Murphys, etc. I'm looking to hear some stuff that's not acoustic and pretty. Maybe like the White Stripes but less pretentious? Also, I generally like to avoid lead singers with high, whiny voices.
Thank you anybody with any recommendations. I feel old and want to try listening to something from the current music scene but it just seems like everything out there is no good.
