Are there any full bands from 2015 or after?


Such as Foreigner, Fleetwood Mac, The Who, etc. That have a lead singer, lead guitar, bass, drum?

reply

Do you mean that formed from 2015 on?

reply

Yes. Not bands still playing but from the past. U2 wouldn't count.

Greta Van Fleet

She asked for bands, not impressionists.

reply

It's like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin had sex and Greta Van Fleet was the result.

reply

Sound wise, yes. Talent wise it's mix of Train and Creed.

reply

I'd rather listen to them than the autotuned brigade.

reply

I'd rather listen to them because they're rock and I hate anything that isn't rock.

U2

I think she means bands that didn't have hits before 2015.

reply

lol

reply

U2 doesn't have hits long before 2015, I guess it's understandable.

reply

No, what I meant was, I think the OP was after bands that had a traditional line up that had become well known after 2015 (although I could be wrong).

reply

That's what I was wondering, are there any traditional line up bands today.

Theory on the evolution of music.

Jazz is easier to make-produce than big band music.

Rock and roll is easier to make-produce than jazz.

Rap/Solo singers music is easier to make-produce than rock and roll.

Just like improved everyday products, easy trumps.

Big Joanie
Electric Octopus (instrumental band)

There are plenty you just need to look outside of the mainstream and Top 40.

Just to put it out there. Wikipedia has a lot of information if you do a search on "[year] in music" You'll find a newly formed band section for each year and there appear to be a good number of new bands for 2015 and 2016. I didn't look at other years but yeah, there's a number that seem to be your traditional 3/4 piece rock group types. So it's not a dead form for a band but I think finding materials by these bands is going to be rough since there's no real place for rock breakthrough hits anymore just by the virtue of how today's music distribution works.

I personally don't listen to rock like I use to so I haven't sought out any new rock music in some time but it looks like there's new stuff to be found if you actively look for it.
