New Bands - Best new band of the last 10 years?

[heaven&hell]

There is so many new bands that have come out in the last 10 years(we'll go back to the year 2000), so who's your fav of all of these new bands? It can be AOR, Hard Rock, Metal or even a Modern Rock band.

[Geoff]

Cousin, this is almost impossible. Nice challenge, though. Sadly, Steelhouse Lane, Raine, Stun Leer, Marvelous 3 / Butch Walker, Vicious Mary and Teer just miss out on this because they were just before 2000 or released only one or two CD. And then there's other more recent ones like WET, Farcry, Grand Design, New Device etc. who have all also only released one CD, so it's a hard task (HEAT and Crazy Lixx make this list as I've heard enough of their 2nd CDs to know they'll kick my ass). Based on the full period from 2000 to now, this is what I came up with:

 

MHR:

1. Wig Wam

2. HEAT

3. Steel Panther

4. Place Vendome

5. Blanc Faces

6. Human Zoo

7. Khymera

8. Sunstorm

9. Brother Firetribe

10. Crazy Lixx

 

And worthy mention:

11. Crashdiet

 

Modern (even if they were around before 2000, NONE of them played the style of music they do now, so I consider them new bands ):

1. Cauterize

2. SR-71

3. A Change of Pace

4. Disciple

5. Story of the Year

6. Hinder

7. Just Surrender

8. Faber Drive

9. Funeral for a Friend

10. Hedley

 

And worthy of a mention for the STUNNING 'Paper walls' CD:

11. Yellowcard

Bearing in mind I am an old man and my memory is shite, here are a few off the top of my head. I have probably missed out loads of great ones, so go easy on me. I'll add more if I remember them, or you can remind me who I was waffling on about at the time

 

 

Work Of Art

Frost*

H.E.A.T

W.E.T

Brother Firetribe

Lovex

Leverage

Allen/Lande

Roadstar/Heaven's Basement

Elevener

Wig Wam

Radioactive

Titan

The Poodles

Farcry (Would be strung up if I didn't mention)

Renegade Five

[TIM (2)]

I'd say BROTHER FIRETRIBE. To be brutally honest I'd probably have lost interest in new AOR had it not been for them, but their two albums renewed my interest in modern AOR completely.

A couple that spring to mind for me is The Answer and Alter Bridge.
