This used to be a popular topic in the old forum.  Some new(er) bands that I’ve started listening to and are worth taking a look at include:

Manchester Orchestra
The Dodos
Mike Pinto
Sea Wolf
Sean Hayes (not the actor)
Minus the Bear

Also, they probably arn’t new to any of the old forum subscribers, but if haven’t heard them make sure to check out Current Swell.

I’m recommending these guys:

Newton Faulkner
Will Conner
Old Man River

The last two are Aussies. Will Conner opened for Jack Johnson at his concerts down here, and I hope he’s picked up by Brushfire at some point in the future!

Old Man River… well, he just kicks all kind of arse. :)

Good thread. It’s always good to learn of new musicians. I really like The Dodos, Sean Hayes and Old Man River, so thanks for the tip off.

There is a bloke called Phil Campbell who I would recommend.

I watched him Jools Holland show on the BBC and was very impressed!

Not sure how “new” is “new”, but Tristan Prettyman is absolutely amazing!

I second Mike Pinto. very good. Also, check out Pete Murray and if you haven’t already, John Butler and Xavier Rudd. I’m new here, so imagine most of those are well known already!

Who else.., erm..

The Savage Jazz are very good, they’re unsigned, but check out their Myspace.
Bedouin Soundclash (though not new)
State Radio (though again, not that new)
Duke Special - Irish dude. Most cooky, seriously recommended.
Liam Finn
The ‘Once’ Soundtrack
Rodrigo y Gabriella
Siberian Newspaper - Crazy Japanese Orchestral goodness
The Sleepy Jackson - Been around for a while but very good on record. Too drunk live to be any good!

Not sure if any of those are ‘new’ bands, but most are relatively lesser known!

Rob Sawyer is an australian guy who rocks in the guitar, and The Beautiful Girls is not a new band, but I’ve been listening a loooot! ;)
