Monster Truck.
Their album "Furiosity" is an absolute banger and they're a really great rock band.

De Staat, it's a really creative experimental rock band from The Netherlands. Bubble Gum is my favorite, but also check out the Vinticious Versions album which contains their songs in vintage style. They also have a talent for powerful album outros. The Inevitable End and Luther always give me goosebumps
I listened to Kitty Kitty, Witch Doctor, and Input Source Selector. Great music, I will add them to my growing list of new bands to get into.
Car seat headrest. Their songwriting and music choices blend together into something timeless and un-explainable. They're my favourite band.
Without a doubt my favourite band of all time. They're 99% of what I listen to. Seriously: if someone reading this is nervous about the future and hasn't listened to How To Leave Town, you're missing out.
The Pretty Reckless. I have become obsessed with Taylor Momsen's voice. There's something about it I feel is like a once in a generation quality.
They have I've if my favorite band names of if all time and I love "Death by Rock and Roll"
I didn't realize it but I heard them before. I listened to a few more songs. Good taste. Her voice is recognizable.
He's great. I first heard him on a Ninja Tune compilation. I got to see him in a 100 seater doing a poetry night. All snaps!
Janelle Monae has had some genius and beautiful sci fi going through all their music, as well as supreme bops, yet is absolutely nowhere near the pop queen she should be
I love Janelle Monae. Lipstick lover, Make Me Feel, and I Like That are a few of her amazing catalogue.
Greta Van Fleet is my favorite rock band. It is a modern rock band inspired by rock songs from the past, like those of the 1970s. They create blues rock songs and hard rock songs about resilience in life, as well as a progressive rock song that discusses humanity's dependence on smartphone technologies. Other similar rock bands include Dirty Honey, with their heavy, relatable song "Won't Take Me Alive," which I believe is about difficult situations, and Rival Sons' "Nobody Wants To Die," which I interpret as expressing that despite hardship, we don't want to die but rather seek a solution to resolve the problems more quickly.
I'll have to check them out. I love rock, but I'm not familiar with the modern rock scene.
Edit: I just watched a few videos. Not really for me, but they have some range. Meeting the Master, Highway Tune, and Heat Above. Highway Tune reminds me of the Doors. It was worth watching the music videos for me.
You must check out king gizzard and the lizard wizard, they are honestly rock and roll hall of fame material, they are I think what modern rock and roll has evolved into.
They have a crazy track record of recording multiple albums per year for like 20 years straight and not a single one of them suck and they continue to get better everytime, idk how they do it but they do it well and i can confidently say this is not an exaggeration of my interest in them.
They explore a lot of variety of genres but I think people mostly look at them and place them as rock and roll.
Refused, I found out about them cause they were the band who did all the Samurai songs in cyberpunk 2077 and even though they had a bit of a bump they're still really obscure
Now this is a band I should have known about. They remind me of Weezer, if Weezer was more hardcore. The melodic metal songs remind me of Evergreen Terrace. New noise is great. The Shape of Punk to Come was awesome. This is the high energy rock, I need in my life. Thank you.
"Shape of Punk to Come" is chefs kiss been bumping that shit for over 20 years now and it is still great!

The Neighborhood Kids. They're a small-ish rap group whose biggest song has a bit over quarter million streams on Spotify (Biddi Bomb). They're really interesting because they sound and feel like politically active 90s west coast rap. Great beats, great lyrics, and very creative.
A complete 180 from what tops the charts nowadays. Biddi bomb is their biggest song and is rap through and through, while Third World Problems feels RATM. I honestly hope they keep at it because I love what they're doing.
You described The Neighborhood Kids perfectly. I took a quick look into their music and I am enjoying it. Thanks. This is the type of music I need in my life.
The Roots in their pre-Jimmy ~~Kimmel~~ Fallon days, and even now, are my favourite musical group. Black Star is another duo I would raise to that level as well.
Taking a look at this page, for the Last Poets, who influenced Saul Williams, it's a veritable who's who of artists I love: Wu-Tang, Public Enemy, Brand Nubian, KRS-ONE, Guru, Mos Def & Talib Kweli.
e: I stand corrected.

A band that is slept on hard and legit my favorite active punk band is Get Dead. Their album Dancing With The Curse is unreal cover to cover. It's just 32 minutes long, but it's a god damn classic! My favorites on it are Stickup and Confrontation. The signer was a hiphop lyricist originally, which you can kind of hear at times, but I'd say he was meant for punk rock!
This group is great. I will add them to my playlist. They remind of Whole Wheat Bread. https://youtu.be/vq_MzFgMwxA
I haven't heard that name is a hot minute, I dug Whole Wheat Bread tough in the early 2000's! But I'm glad you dig Get Dead, they have a handful of solid albums, I also really like Honesty Lives Elsewhere.
Fish in a Birdcage. I suppose I understand why they're not big, but their music is so eclectic, there's a little bit of something for everyone.
The Arcadian Wild feels like the perfect indie folk band.
I heard Drunk on Pride for Fish in a Birdcage. They remind me of that Franz Ferdinand band.
Saul Williams is a favorite for me. I think he wrote Black Stacey when he was a teenager. Good stuff!
Pretty sure everyoneβs heard of every band I enjoy, but I think Andy Shauf, Damien Jurado (especially Brothers and Sisters of the Eternal Son), and Doomtree should be more widely enjoyed.

Skinshape (maybe sorta well known?) https://youtu.be/ulOgzjdBdzY
Fish in a Birdcage is one of my alltime favorites. Great for relaxed listening and tends to have really good stories in the songs as well.
Destiny Potato. Technically impressive, cool songs, catchy motifs, and at the same time they show that it's possible to make fun music. Plus at the time of their first release, it was a refreshingly different kind of djenty progmetal.
They're known as Sordid Pink now, by the way.
I just checked out Destiny Potato. It feels like Sordid Pink is a more metal version or polished version. Either way, I enjoy the sound. Great songs. Thanks.
Omg. I had never heard of Saul Williams. Adding him to my playlists. Thank you for this!
Interpol is one of my favorites. I like to think they took over from Joy Division.
No I in Threesome : https://youtu.be/eAaXS_wioYg
I heard this group before. I couldn't tell you where. Maybe a show or something. I enjoy the relaxed grove.
I would say Dry Cell, who had a fantastic full album and lots of great demo EPs, and by extension their split-off bands, such as Acrylic and Band With No Name.
I looked up Dry Cell, Acrylic, and Band With No Name. I'm thinking I didn't find the same bands that you did. The Dry Cell I found didn't look/sound like the Acrylic band and Band with No Name, that I found. Either way I enjoy music so thanks for the direction.
Here are some top faves of mine:
- Dry Cell - Ordinary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqTjIN93xfg
- Dry Cell - Under the Sun: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xJe3RnjM9A
- Acrylic - Fading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uf4xudG8ThA
- Acrylic - Loser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALcAzUEeNSo
- Band With No Name - The Criminal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysaP0Y6K_cY
- Band With No Name - Animallike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNyg0iHz2TQ
Acrylic and BWNN both have the same lead singer (Jeff Gutt) as Dry Cell, but don't have Judd Gruenbaum (bassist/co-singer) in them. You're welcome, I hope you enjoy what you hear!

Oh'laville: https://www.youtube.com/@Ohlaville
Good band. I'm trying to learn Spanish so listening to Oh'laville will help. El Diablo reminds me of Big Data. https://youtu.be/E8b4xYbEugo
Saul Williams did break throughβ¦.. for a poet.
That is true. I don't know any other spoken word poet.
Chuck Ragan.
Also BOYSETSFIRE
I thought Chuck Ragan looked too hipster for me to enjoy, but Something May Catch Fire was good.
Now BOYSETSFIRE is my type of jam. I think rock isn't represented as well as it used to be..
I don't know man. When I was younger you couldn't get me to listen to anything other than mainstream rock. But I came off a.stint of playing games like The Flame and The Flood, Hunt: Showdown, and of course Red Dead Redemption 2. And it just.....clocked for me. Now my Spotify can't tell if I love Grunge, Punk, or Folk.
I haven't been playing the current AAA type games, so maybe that's why. I have friends that love RDR2 but I enjoy more of the indie games. I'm still waiting for Silk Song to come out.
Can I borrow like......$100? I'll pay you back right after Silk Song releases.
