Any good music from relatively new (post 2008) artists?

[Arcadio]

I'm looking for some good music from new artists starting from the end of last decade. My music library is seriously lacking music from new artists after 2008. I prefer alternative, rock, electronica, maybe some pop.

Any suggestions?

I think the newwest bands I listen to are Alestorm and Diablo Swing Orchestra, both are older than 2008 though, but im not sure if they have albums released before that.

Artist that released their first stuff after '08? Or can it be artists from any period that have put out good stuff since '08?
A lot of the newer stuff I like is new artist mining the past, but in a way that sounds fresh. Mark Ronson, Bruno Mars are good examples. In the rock arena, check out Rival Sons. Heavy 70s influence, but rock in their own way. Ed Sheeran is talented. If you like funk, and you should, check out Quantic Soul Orchestra.

And some stuff isn't new, but can be new to you. Blows me away when I hear new stuff that is 20 years old. Where the EFF has this been all my life. Fela Kuti

i know right

The only one that comes to mind for me is The Gaslight Anthem. They're alternative rock, I guess? Influenced by Bruce Springseen quite a bit, and they're from Jersey too, but there seems to be a little Nirvana influence in there too I think.

Anyway, they formed in 2006 but their "breakthrough" album was released in 2008. Looks like they just released a new album last year that I haven't heard yet so I'll have to check that out. :awe:

What genre are you looking for, OP?

Alestorm is a fun band, started listening to them last year.
Scottish pirate metal, recipe for success, right?

Ugh, Bruno Mars is so terrible. I mean, sure, he's talented and all, but I can't stand any song of his I've ever heard. At all.

Death Cab For Cutie has had several solid new albums out, Weezer's new album got a lot of very good reviews and I quite like it myself

 

[JM Aggie08]

Mumford & Sons, Awolnation, Walk the Moon, Avette Brothers, Ed Sheeran, Volbeat, 2003-2007 Avenged Sevenfold, Killswitch Engage, The Wombats, Edward Shapre and the Magnetic Zeros...

This is both fun AND different.

I'll throw Gogol Bordello in there for some added flair.

They're a bit older (2001) but I'm fond of Venus Hum

Alison Sudol's first CD was 2007, close enough.

Sounds like Aimee Mann in a good way.

 

[Mixolydian]

Not in those genres, sorry.

Instrumental Prog Metal has had some Amazing stuff come out since 2008.

Animals as Leaders - Joy of Motion is an amazing album

Sithu Aye has a lot of good stuff. It's all free to stream if you look for it.

Periphery is my favorite band. These are two of their more poppy songs.

Now, if you haven't heard CHON yet do yourself a favor. This is a band anyone can love.

How about some Erin Bode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q17TRfUVYSc

These aren't new artists, but they're still putting out new releases. The last several albums from The Chemical Brothers have been consistently great. They have a new one coming out now.

Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" was great and definitely deserved the "album of the year" award it got.
