Suggest new bands to listen to

I have thoroughly enjoyed the 2 recent albums that The Acorn have put out-- Glory Hope Mountain and No Ghost. Sounds just right somehow every time I put them on.

The new Iron and Wine-Kiss Each Other Clean is quite good if you haven't heard it--definitely a departure but a lot of fun to listen to and it has a couple of real catchy tunes on it.

The Head and the Heart

Boredoms
OoioO
Hercules and love affair
Juan Maclean
LCD soundsystem

Just discovered:
The Broken Family Band
She Keeps Bees
Mike Younger

My Morning Jacket is not a jamband.

not new, but
brian jonestown massacre
apples in stereo
beirut
sufjan stevens
band of bees (aka the bees) --- best band you've never heard...just buy all their releases NOW, and thank me later

jam band: my morning jacket (it still moves--great record)

mumford & sons
felice brothers
avett brothers
great big sea
alberta crossing
johnny flynn
rural alberta advantage
phosporescent
ray lamontagne

to name a few I'vebeen listening lately

Check out New Monsoon, Tea Leaf Green, and The Jim Weider Band. These are jam bands, similar to Umphrey's. Also, all of these bands have a TON of shows avaialble for FREE at The Live Music Archive. Pay special attention to the Soundboard (SBD) shows and the 24 bit shows - they sound as good as most commercial releases.
