The Tea Party. I really like these guys, especially their older stuff. And they are WAY better than Nickelback
. The new CD (Seven Circles) is Ok, but sounds more mainstream than their other stuff.
Floater. These guys are from Eugene, Oregon, and they kick ass. They've been around for 10 years or so, and their sound is everything from Floyd, to Zep to Tool to Primus, you name it. I'm not sure how to classify them. They are a trio and they have quite a cool sound to them. All of their albums sound different from each other. The lead singer is also the bass player, and he's got great pipes. They are my new favorite band.
