I think these bands will remind you of some of the music you listed - hopefully they will be new to you.

Hum, Spotlights, Fair to Midland, Mogwai, Jesu, Deafhaven, DIIV, Wavves, Dredg.

Great! Me too. Next favourite albums of theirs are Separation Sunday and Almost Killed Me (actually that’s their three earliest albums now). Story is the lead guy was in a post-punk kinda band and listened to The Band and thought “why don’t people just play straight ahead good rock n roll anymore?” And started this band… so good

I've actually loved Ben Howard since I first heard him on Watch, Listen, Tell. Damien Rice was a pretty constant listen for me back in high school. Bat For Lashes was new to me. I listened to a handful of songs and enjoyed a couple of them. Thank You.

We truly live in the golden age of synth pop and disco revival. I'm a ginormous Lorde and Carly Rae Jepsen fan. Doja and SZA are awesome too, even though they're further toward hip-hop than synth pop.

Maneskin are a great example of the problem, IMO - I mostly like this review because it's OTT but it points to a broader point about modern rock, that basically since Jet came on the scene in the 2000s, most mainstream rock bands have been tributes to older, better music.

The alternative rock genres (like post-hardcore and emo in the 90s-2000s) and indie rock scenes (King Gizzard, Lucy Dacus, Courtney Barnett etc) have been making fantastic music in that time, but everything from the Darkness (who I love, don't get me wrong) to Greta Van Fleet is basically one giant Zeppelin, Queen and AC/DC tribute act, with a couple of bad Pearl Jam cover bands (looking at you, Nickelback) thrown in there for good measure

Ah you've beaten me to the punch. I'll suggest Rishloo instead then. Feathergun is their most popular album but I think their second most popular record Living As Ghosts With Buildings As Teeth is better and would fit your taste more
