OT: Name a good band where all the members are under 40
By “good,” I mean you would pay to see them live.
How many are left? I like Florence + the Machine, but I have no idea how old the members aside from Florence Welch (33) are.
I remember when Jeff Ament (57) of Pearl Jam turned 40 and my first thought was “Geez, maybe they have to break up now!” But now I’m hard-pressed to find younger bands that are worth the price of admission!
Any “newer” bands I should be a fan of, or is rock really on death’s door?
1. Skeletonwitch
2. Elder
3. Powertrip
tons of cool younger metal bands of all subgenres out there.
check out The Main Squeeze. This performance at Red Rocks is amazing.
I really dig Liliac and a group of kids from Australia called Mixed Up Everything.
Covers are excellent and their original stuff is pretty damn good too.
Liliac is heavier and Mixed Up Everything mixes in some Grunge with the Heavy
heavy rock - Kadavar (think black sabbath)
indie rock - Car Seat Headrest
psychedelic rock - Tame Impala
yacht rock - Mac De Marco
rap - Freddie Gibbs
Goose, Billy Strings
The Wild Feathers
Corey Wong. Hands down one of the best performers I’ve ever seen, and if you’re in the millennial generation you will love the nostalgia in his shows. My wife and I have seen him twice and we’re not big concert people. Everyone should look him up, his songs will make you happy
Don't steer me Wong!
You’re just old
Who you talking too?
Jason Isbell just misses the cut at 41. Not sure about the rest of the 400 Unit other than Amanda Shires, who is under 40.
Reignwolf. I've seen them twice in the basement of St. Andrews and both shows were fantastic.
Devil Makes Three- They're probably over 40 and they might not be your taste, but I love them and they put on a great show.
Wolf People- Ruins
Rival Sons
Woods
JJ grey and Mofro are old but good
Patrick Sweany- daytime turned to nighttime.
The Band of Heathens
The Michigan Marching Band
Joyce Manor is you’re into something more on the punk/garage band side. Listen to their first few albums before the newer stuff. Less refined so I think it’s better.
Bones UK
Starset
What a face what a pretty waste..
Billy Strings
Enforcer
Swedish old school metal
Oso Oso
The Beths
Snail Mail
Monnone Alone
The Legal Matters
The Format
Enforcer
I mean "rock" is somewhat subjective and I think the target there is moving. But, the wife and I love going to concerts (we tried for one a month pre-COVID) and have fallen for some good, young bands that are somewhere in the pop-rock spectrum (my tastes skew a bit lighter these days).
Hippo Campus
Lovelytheband
Christine and the Queens (more of a solo project)
CHVRCHES
Two Door Cinema Club
Bleachers
Judah and the Lion
To go along with mainstays like Vampire Weekend (them performing their new jam type album live is quite entertaining) and Mumford and Sons
Love CHVRCHES. They put on an awesome live show as well. Lauren is a kickass performer.
Yes Bleachers!
Oh man - a lot of replies already, but can't read them all so some of this may be repetitive (and honestly some may have band members around or over 40 -- but don't care):
The War on Drugs
Gang of Youths
Japandroids
Car Seat Headrest (mainly one guy)
Tame Impala
The Gaslight Anthem
Catfish and the Bottlemen. Saw them live just before Covid. Amazing show
People have already mentioned Halestorm, Greta Van Vleet, and Motionless in White. Another I would like to add is Trivium.
Snarky Puppy
