Hello,

I made a list of the bands I have listened to, so I wouldn't waste your time:
3 Days Grace
Rise Against
Muse
Breaking benjamin
30 Sec to Mars
The White Stripes
3 doors down
Paramore
Thousand foot krutch
Linked Park
A day to Remember
American Authors
A7x
Foo Fighters
Sum 41
Imagine Dragons


Thanks

Yo. A good way to find new music to listen to when you are searching for something similar is google who influenced the bands you like and give them a listen and then who influenced them and so on, take a little journey through the decades. I'll warn you now that you will eventually get to The Beatles at some point no matter who you pick haha.

Should keep you busy for a couple of months, especially the older bands have very extensive discographies

[Pendulous]

Newer Incubus, or even older stuff if you don't mind funkier stuff (S.C.I.E.N.C.E. and earlier mostly).

Really, you should check out Pandora.com. You add a bunch of artists, and it plays you a radio station, and picks bands that are similar. I know
of and like most of the bands you mentioned, so I feel I can look through my Spotify playlist and give you some suggestions.

Alter Bridge
Bush
Candlebox
Crossfade
Default
Disturbed
Eve 6
Fuel
The Killers (already mentioned by Butler)
Lynam
Mutemath
Our Lady Peace
Papa Roach
Pearl Jam
Seether
Shinedown
Trapt

If you like softer stuff (you mentioned 3 Doors Down), maybe try Toad the Wet Sprocket, Gin Blossoms, and This Day & Age. Also, yes, I know a lot of these bands are older, and some are grunge, but it's all rock to me.

Also also, if you want to give it a try, Abandoned Pools. Mellow-y, kind of grunge-y, a tad of electronic, makes for a un-definable band. Which apparently I'm attracted to.

[ParanoiD84]

I saw Volbeat at Roskilde festival last year and they are really good, there was better action on them then metallica on the same festival imo.

[Yunru]

I recomend gogling japanese rock.
Example:

[Deleted]

Faith No More from The Real Thing (Mike Patton) onward. I'm not sure if you can call it "alternative rock" or "rock" of any kind, but I'm sure they've always been a bit alternative. And awesome.

FNM is returning to touring this July, and Billy Gould teased about there being potential new stuff still in the works some day.

[Zafire]

You could always try Beloved, they are a great band that never got popular. Death to Traitors is probably their most "well-known" song.

I can't belive no one have recomended gorillaz yet :O

[Jackmoves]

Bloc Partys debute album was great, lots of energy, good lyrics. Anything that come out of Manchester in the 80s, Primal Scream is my favorite though. Black Rebel Motorcycle Club wasnt bad when they had their breakthrough. Radio 4 isnt bad, hit and miss though. Placebo, good and bad. Silverbullit, mostly good, solid. There are so many bands I like. But thats a couple.

This is dangerous if you are in the car. Great energy. Lol

[a C e]

TY everybody

[Pwellzor]

If you like A Day to Remember, you will LOVE Four Year Strong. (Btw, a day to remember on that list makes me like you as a hooman.)



and, my favorite band of all time which is hit or miss with people because of the singer it seems.

[nbm02ss]

If you like rock with a fuzzy sound:

My favorite rock band is One OK Rock.
