Loving this band lately, Tonight Alive. Essentially Paramore but better with a more punk sound and a hotter singer.

Wikipedia calls it Afrobeat, which is a complex fusion of Jazz, Funk, Ghanaian/Nigerian High-life, psychedelic rock, and traditional West African chants and rhythms.
A mate recommended American Bluesman Eric Bibb after hearing him live on 702.

After a few years to calm down following the drop in quality after Silent Alarm I can appreciate some of what they were trying to do on the other albums. It's really hit and miss though. One band that really lost me by changing their style would definitely be Muse, huge disappointment for me.
have you guys heard some of the killer tracks of muse's latest? Not the greatest muse fan but can get into the bombast when in the mood. But man, the track second law (think it is from memory)..the dub step one.mind blowing.
Only have the first two bloc party albums so cannot speak to the later, but sadly the recording qual is not too good which is a pity.
So how do you guys find new music? All my old tried and trusted methods have either let me down or as I said is a reflection on the current environment. Two years running now, after finding it barren during the year have gone thru every album in the uncut best of at the end of the year and only come up with one album.sad days indeed.
Last years from that list was mark lanegan

I think I am getting to be a grumpy old man rather than music drying up.
