If you like the Bravery, you'll probably like The Faint. If you like Franz Ferdinand, you'll probably like The Futureheads. If you like Keane, you're probably a woman. If you like punk rock, the new album by the Thermals is absolutely tremendous. If you like Muse, try TV on the Radio - this is not a difficult game. Also, I don't think any of these bands fall under the category of "rock" per se. . .
If you want to rock, pay the $10 and get "Boys and Girls In America" by the Hold Steady. Tell me that's not the best rock album in years . . .
I realize that I'm kind of the resident semi-hipster music douche. That's fine - but it's simply awful to decry 'the state of music' like it's really any lower than any other time. In fact, fuck it - download these five tracks, and tell me 'modern music' sucks:
-Califone, "The Orchids"
-Monsieur Leroc, "Cooley McCoolsen"
-Man Man, "Van Helsing Boombox"
-Killer Mike, "That's Life"
-Junior Boys, "In the Morning"
Those five tracks couldn't be more different, there's literally a song from every style but country (and I have some Bright Eyes tracks for you if that's your shit). Seriously - download, enjoy, and stop.

I never said "fuck the radio" but I'll never stop. Most music today sucks all ass.
by the way, here are some more to check out:
The Secret Machines
Clap Your Hands Say YEAH!
Theivery Corporation
The Strokes (if you haven't yet)
Tapes n' Tapes are good but haven't listened [actively] that much, they were just background music for a party i was at
Thanks for the tips, and I guess for not being a dick.
